Star-Gazer LOTR Treehouse. Mordor corner.

This treehouse-like structure sits atop a hill in rural Minnesota. It contains 53 windows to bring the outside in: stained glass, leaded glass, and skylights. The floor is comprised of wood rounds and the grout is scattered with colored mica. A spiral staircase leads to a loft. On the main floor is a full kitchen, a gathering space, a gas fireplace, and a queen Murphy bed. A dumbwaiter brings guests luggage up to the top. A secret garden lies below: an enclosed space, it holds a fire pit and a fountain. Snow shoes and sleds are provided for winter.

Also on the land, visit our Mordor corner, featuring the great eye of Sauron, fun signs and warnings, and a surprise when you open the Mor Door.

We were intrigued with the history of the property. It was intriguing and quaint property. Kids enjoyed the wide range of board games and the mini zip line. Would love to go back in the fall when the leaves change colors.

Inaccurate Description
There truly are so many things to like about this property. It is very unique and unlike any place I have ever stayed; however, we were disappointed in the overall experience with the space being so small. The website states there are two bedrooms with 2 full beds and a twin hideabed/loveseat. The whole space is open so not much sleeping privacy. There were 2 full beds and then a reclining sofa and not much space to move with 3 adults and a dog. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the large deck, though it is very close to the highway so there was a lot of traffic noise. While this is a cozy stay for 1 or 2 people, more than that is cramped and uncomfortable.

Great charm. Bad beds.
There is an endless number of things that are amazing about this property but unfortunately we were unable to stay both nights due to how poor the beds were in our location. It was beautiful, it was romantic, and there were a lot of things about that place that made us want to go back but unless the beds are upgraded we will not be able to return. We had a very difficult time sleeping and the amount of back pain that we experienced throughout the night only grew worse and by the next morning we could barely move. I'm really hoping that the owners take this opportunity to invest in better mattresses so that one day we can come back again.

Stargazer Review
We had wonderfully superb visit to the Stargazer Treehouse! We stayed abnormally long (1week) but it accommodated us perfectly for a family of 4 with two dogs. We were able to create a perfect full Thanksgiving meal and enjoyed the time together! The property was fantastic and we enjoyed sauna, hot tub and zip line. We highly recommend and WILL be back!!

Magical! It felt as if I was living within the pages of a Tolkien's book. This little home has lots of character - whimsy, charm, artistry, comfort - an inviting and cozy retreat, the kind you want to curl up by the fire with a good book. It is also an intrigue in architecture and a lesson in how one can live efficiently in a tiny space. Incorporating elements of nature and up-cycled objects made this house a one-of-a-kind place to stay. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Jill & Joan for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

LOTR fantasies reignited
No square inch of space in the Stargazer was left boring. There are little phrases, knickknacks, carvings, etc all over to check out; even the floor was fun to look at! There are little surprises everywhere that make the experience more enjoyable. One of them being a keurig supplied with k-cups for an early morning coffee outside on the deck. Just lovely!

5 sisters spent the weekend in the Stargazer and had such a fun relaxing time! The hot tub was attached to the ownerā€™s house, but it was still really private and the gardens were lovely!! It says it sleeps six, but we were very cozy with 5. We had no idea there was a sauna under the treehouse! We didnā€™t use it because it was hot outside, but still a nice surprise! Jill and Joan left us some drinks and eggs from the chickens and then left us to have our fun! šŸ™‚

Our stay was Fantastic! Me and my two other friends needed a break from our lives and we're fortunate enough to find the little gem. The hot tub is actually in the owners house and shared with the other property's but there were no issues at all. The tree house was charming, cozy and beautiful to say the least. we were met with some fresh eggs from the chickens and surprised by the sauna that was not mentioned. (that I remember )We will be back!
