About this property
Water Rafts + Trails - North Star by Janix Escapes.
If you’re seeking a serene getaway to truly take a break from everyday life, book a stay at this 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental cabin situated in The Shooting Star Resort. You’ll be treated to year-round activities that’ll keep you entertained for the duration of your visit. Go hiking, fishing, or kayaking in the summer, then swap the hiking boots for ski boots and shred the slopes at Caberfae Peaks Ski Resort in the winter. Check out the other on-site rental if you need extra space.
