Expansive Deck and Telescope Enjoyment - Majestic Mountain Retreat

Location! 5 minutes from Lake Gregory. Welcome to Northstar Vista Lodge! The panoramic mountain/forest views and sweeping vistas are breathtaking. With the expansive deck and balconies, the majestic views are everywhere. This is THE place for star gazing. View the North Star and other celestial points of interest through the lens of the tripod-mounted telescope. Check out the Star Wars-themed game room with a foosball table, wood-burning stove, keyboard, and plenty of games for family game night. The location and views are THE main attraction. You can see from the expansive deck, primary bedroom balcony, and the game room balcony for miles. As the sun sets and casts its colorful light on the forest canopy, only the sounds of birds against the silence of the forest can be heard. Unwind with a glass of wine and allow yourself to become one with nature as calmness washes over you. Plan your day at the lake, walk on the wide trail, take the dog to the dog park, or throw the ball at the grassy area where you can also take a walk on the circular track. Just steps away rent a kayak or canoe, catch some fish, or hang out and have a picnic at one of the tables. Return home and cook a gourmet dinner, relax by the fire, gaze at the stars, and cherish these moments as they become memories forever. The beds are extra comfy with plenty of privacy for everyone. If that meeting comes up, use the workspace in the primary bedroom or take it outside to one of the balconies. The space is flexible, comfortable, and well-designed for an unforgettable mountain retreat. Charge the car while you sleep so there's more time to enjoy!
