About this lodge

Nestled in Sonoma County, this charming lodge for $222 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Visiting Starview Lodge makes you feel a world away from the bustle of the city, despite being only 2 hours from San Francisco. Situated on Cobb Mountain – the tallest of the Mayacamas range above Calistoga - you will be treated to the scent of a dense forest, spectacular mountain views, and the best stargazing! The lodge has three well-appointed bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a great room for entertaining. The master bedroom has a California King memory foam bed, while the second bedroom has a Queen memory foam bed and its own en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom has two bunk beds for a total of 4 twin beds, all with memory foam mattresses. All bedrooms are outfitted with premium linens and comforters. The open great room combines kitchen, dining room and living room, all view spectacular views of the surrounding forest and Cobb Mountain. The lodge backs up to Boggs State Forest, and sits in a small clearing in the trees. There is a clear view of the night sky - it's a wonderful place to watch a meteor shower! In the winter months, curl up by the wood-burning fireplace and sprawl on the couch to read a great book. You might also consider watching your favorite Netflix movie on the 50” HDTV. In the summer, take advantage of the expansive deck with large gas grill, adirondack chairs, gas fire pit and outdoor dining table. Read a book while listening to the birds and deer rummage for food, or invite some friends and have an outdoor feast. Once you have settled into the relaxed mountain atmosphere, you can leave the car behind and walk to many of the great things Cobb has to offer, including: • Boggs State Forest – hiking, mountain biking (1/4 mile, 5 minutes) • Mountain Meadow Golf Course (5 minutes) • Hardester’s Grocery (10 minutes) • Monterrey Mexican Grill (5 minutes) • Mountain High Coffee (10 minutes) • Cobb Mountain Pizza (10 Minutes) You can also take a scenic drive through the mountains and discover other great nearby destinations, including: • Pine Grove Family Resort – 2 swimming pools and a café (3 minutes) • Boggs Lake Preserve - an ancient volcanic “lake” with guided nature walk (15 minutes) • Loch Lomond Market & Deli – Food, drinks (10 minutes) • Mother Loving In the Oven Bakery (10 Minutes) • Harbin Hot Springs (10 minutes) Your pet(s) are always welcome at Starview Lodge. There is a fully fenced deck and separate dog run in the side yard for your best friends to enjoy, and a state forest with thousands of acres to play is right outside the back door! The cabin is equipped with cable TV, high-speed Internet with WiFi, HDTV, and central heat and central air conditioning. If you must work while you are there, rest assured the internet is high speed (100mbps+) and there is a small desk, chair and monitor for you to use. Where is Cobb Mountain? It is less than an hour from Sonoma, Mendocino and Napa counties. It is two hours from Sacramento / central valley, and two hours from the San Francisco Bay Area. The town of Cobb is above 2600’ and receives several periods of light snow during the winter! And because it is inland and sheltered from the coastal fog, it reaches wonderful but comfortable 80s/90s temperatures in the summer. It’s a perfect escape any time of the year. Sometimes the name "lodge" confuses people! This is in fact a standalone single family home. We just call it a "lodge" because it's a rustic but comfortable home in the mountains. NOTE on home layout: This is a two story home and is not wheelchair friendly. From the top of the driveway there are 12 exterior stairs up to the main level and entry. The main level has the kitchen, dining and living rooms, primary California king bedroom and full bath. Downstairs are two bedrooms and one bath. Interior access between floors is via a metal spiral staircase. There are two downstairs exterior doors that open to the driveway (two steps down).

Our family, six adults, stayed for two nights, it was a very good experience. The house conveniently sits on a quiet street, just a few minutes from grocery store, restaurants. You can reach the hiking trails from the back yard, very nice. The place is very clean, owner was very responsive, always available when needed. We really enjoyed out staying!

Situated right next to a forest area, had lots of deer and even a wild turkey right outside our window. Beautiful fall foliage and crisp clean air. The only thing to be mindful of is a steep driveway for parking. Near Clear Lake and state park and fun winding country roads.

Our group had a great stay at this mountain home. The beds were very comfortable, the deck was large and had a great view and the tasteful living room was ample to sit around and visit. On top of it all, the price was reasonable, something increasingly rare these days. I hope to be back again, for the great bed and the tranquility.

Property was as described with comfortable furnishings, and spacious deck. We enjoyed the peaceful location and views of the night sky. One individual in our group had to work one day of the vacation and had no connectivity issues. Everything was fabulous and would recommend this property.

Great place in a wonderfully quiet setting. Really feels like home with a big deck including a gas fire pit, BBQ, great seating and a hammock. Kitchen includes coffee machine and espresso machine and all other appliances. We even found first aid stuff in the bathroom when we had a little mishap. Also, super kid friendly with lots of toys in a toy chest and books. We were in town to celebrate 2 family birthdays and this was the perfect place for entertaining and activities for all ages.
