About this property

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.

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.

Amazing Getaway
From the time we booked our stay to leaving the property, we had an excellent experience. Jill and Joan welcomed us with personalized greetings and made sure we had everything we needed. They responded promptly when we had questions and made sure we knew they were available. The history of this place is incredible and we will forever hold the memory of fhe weekend we spent. Thank you so much Jill and Joan!

Magical
My boys and I stayed here for thanksgiving and had a relaxing, magical weekend exploring the treehouse, greeting the chickens and relaxing in the hot tub. The hosts had special touches that made this getaway memorable and fun.

About the host

Hosted by Jill (daily contact) and Joan

Host profile image
I grew up in Kansas City, KS, raised my children in Kansas and moved here in 2002 while obtaining my PhD in English. I teach at St. Cloud State and Joan works for the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls and gives music lessons. We love our home and land, especially the peace that seems to emanate from it--so many of our guests comment on that as well.

Why they chose this property

I always loved the idea of a treehouse, although Stargazer is not technically that type of structure. We finished building it in Summer 2018.

What makes this property unique

Its 53 windows really bring in the morning and afternoon sun, and it's distance from street lights make it an exceptional place to view the heavens, either inside or from Stargazer's high deck.
