"Starry Night is every bit as charming as the pics show and more. It’s conveniently close to town but far enough to enjoy a true rustic quietness. The host Becca is super friendly and was on top of communicating with us. We were fortunate enough to be able to see some color from the northern lights also. We can’t recommend this place enough!"
