Guests appreciated the thoughtful amenities, including comfortable beds, games, and kitchen supplies, which enhanced their stay.

This is our second time at Star Meadows. The cabin & bunkhouse have been renovated and are super cute. Great range & fridge. Love that our little dog can
come along. Previous folks left a mess in the kitchen for me to clean, which was disappointing. I definitely recommend, close enough to town, but remote enough for no phone or internet.

Great stay. It's a easy place for a large group. We took a bunch of Girl Scouts for a winter overnight. The outside fire pit, outdoor space, and proximity to hiking made it easy for us!

Well kept, great stock of kitchen supplies..Everything we needed and more for a great bonfire. Ice melt for the pathway would be handy. Thank you NFS..

Amazing location - far enough to be quiet and dark at night, yet close enough to get to town/big mountain. Lots of good winter hiking and so, so clean. Everything needed is there, quite deluxe. Hack: use forest service directions, Google sends drivers down an unplowed road! We loved this place for warm winter getaway!

The main cabin and bunkhouse made for an excellent two night stay for our family + and handful of my high school daughter’s friends. The game/book/puzzle area is so well stocked that if staying here again, I don’t know that we would even bother to pack any from home!

Well equipped cabin in a beautiful and quiet location. No cell service which was the best feature of all.
