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.

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.
