We had an absolutely wonderful time. This property is amazing, and every corner has some gem to discover, especially at night. We got to try out the two glamping tents and also the very interesting geosphere, and everyone slept well. Beds and accommodations were quite comfortable. It’s at nightfall that the place truly shines. There are beautiful solar lights everywhere. Artistic touches everywhere. And it’s easy to walk around at night because the lights are plentiful. Multiple comfortable seating areas. Chairs around the campfire were comfortable. There’s a large table (with a propane fire feature) surrounded by plentiful cushioned seating under a large roof and also an outdoor bar area that’s handy for putting together s’mores near the campfire. We ordered firewood and the very nice host and hostess brought it right to the firepit and offered to start the fire for us. This was a really lovely experience, and I would return without hesitation. I should also mention that everything was spotlessly clean. We also did a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Wingspread estate, which was easy to fit in before check-in.

Indigo Zen Garden offers a little piece of heaven! The hosts are very friendly and eager to have everything just right down to the last detail. Make sure to check in in time for the sunset--you can't beart the view!

This was my first time staying and all I can say is there so much magic. Upon arriving, i was met by the host who also brought out hot water and a basket of teas to choose from. The stargazer tent is very intentionally decorated with books and things to discover. Melanie even leaves little mementos to remember your trip that she carved. the garden lights up at night highlighting different seating areas. There’s a garden chair area that perfectly faces the sunset across the field. There’s a fire space, small bar, and also seating around the Stargazer tent. Inside the tent is soft carpeting, plush robes, blankets to cuddle with, and a retreat to rest in. It did rain during my stay but it was so peaceful hearing all of the animals like owls and crickets. It was a very comfy space to just disappear into away from the buzz of everything that wants your attention. The space does have an outdoor shower which I didn’t use but would be interested in giving it a shot. In the morning, you have the option to enjoy breakfast which was greatly appreciated instead of venturing out. The space does have a porta potty (that doesn’t smell gross) and is kept clean. There is a hand washing station outside of the bathroom. Small touches that are appreciated. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone needing a retreat. When you rent the stargazer you also get a smaller tent automatically that is great if you have kiddos.

The stay was spectacular, the place clean and smelling good, the food was delicious, they were always willing to help us with everything at any time, everything very independent and we had our own space, I would definitely recommend it and would return again🙏🩷

The campsite was great, decorated with cute lights and signs. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable. The owner was very helpful and gave us great directions for finding her hidden gem of a campground! Perfect location for watching meteor showers.

Amazing yurt. Great for a family staying in their other yurt for the adults and the kids in this one. Me and some other adult guests booked it just because it would sleep all of us and was a fantastic time even for us. The hosts are both incredibly kind and attentive. Might be back next year for my Renaissance faire visit!

This was my second time at Star Gazer, and there are even more upgrades this time we stayed! It is still as comfy, and beautiful, but now she included slippers for cleanliness, and a cute little dish cart! Plus there is the most beautiful outdoor shower! Love the theme of the tent too! Everything lights up at night, like a little fairy garden! Perfect combination of being out in nature, but still having the comforts of home. And of course, Melanie is our favorite host ever💜💕

Beautiful, whimsical, colorful, and fun! This space offers a comfortable, and safe place for you, and your kiddo to play, while also being accommodating for adults. There are several little areas with different educational toys, and spaces for pretend play as well. Absolutely loved it! As always, the Melanie, is extremely accommodating. She’s truly wonderful 💜💕

But other then that the stay was amazing id 11/10 recommend

Staying at Melanie’s Stargazer Sanctuary was a beautiful experience. We were greeted so warmly and communication was clear. The glamping tent is amazingly comfortable and cozy. You will love the attention to detail. The very private outside area feels magical, especially at night with thoughtfully placed fairy lights. Staying here is a great way to treat yourself to something unique and to support a young family in their quest to create beauty in the world.

Melanie’s land is magic! If you’re on the fence between places, pull the trigger and dive into something special! Melanie greeted us with a smile, did a lap of the ground’s, absorbed some history of the land, current use and then marinated in a private nook referred to as the Zen Garden. The setup is conducive for privacy, vast options for tent alignment and with the sunset, a glowy labyrinth comes alive. Follow the colors to a well maintained bathroom, wash your hands w soap provided and even take a spritz in the solar shower. Forgot a crucial piece to your site, no worries Mike and Melanie are extremely responsive via text from car AC/dc plug adapter and wagon full of wood for those smory nights. I don’t have anything but positive memories from my weekend and encourage all to bask in the humble yet inviting Zen Garden!
Everything in this world is magic except the magician

We had an awesome time staying at the Stargazer. We loved that we were just 20minutes outside of Milwaukee. We were staying for the 120th Harley Anniversary. Our first night we had little to no issues, our second night we had some loud neighbors but you can expect that! Only downfall is that there are some ticks surrounding the Stargazer (but it's a given that they are also very bad this year). Melanie was a great host and we loved her dogs! She welcomes you to explore the property if you'd like. You and any neighbors also have separate entrances and exits but a shared porta potty, which was very clean and maintained, there is a little sink with soap as well. The property is just a short drive from the highway, so very convenient! Only other issue we faced was no shoes in the stargazer so our shoes got rained on! Overall, super cute little property and we would stay here again if we were ever in the area!

Absolutely loved tent camping on Melanie’s beautifully curated land! The space is inviting and well thought out, we loved finding all the treasuries hidden throughout. Great for our large group and dogs, we were able to have plenty of space for everyone. The hosts were accommodating and respectful, would love to stay in their space again!

I really enjoyed staying at the Indigo Zen Garden with my family and one small dog. The space was very generate and private. We really liked all the decorations and a little details in the kitchen area. Only things that I wish to see in our next visit is a proper/working fire pit. The fire pit was under the kitchen tent. The smoke was not ventilated and could keep the fire alive. We gave up after multiple tries but a fire pit is one of the must key features that campers would have loved to have one. (I do!). My brother also found ticks bug after the trip. He had to check up at the local urgent care and got antibiotics. He is okay!. I am pretty sure it is from the sofa inside the kitchen tent. he was the only one who sat there and found it right after sitting there. Not surprised especially camping in Midwest but I wouldn't recommend sitting on the sofa there. Otherwise, outdoor space looked well organized and clean. I love to come back in the fall season as long as there is a fire pit available in the open space. Happy Camping!

Melanie’s property is a perfect spot for a night stay for those looking to get out of the city for a quick getaway. A short drive from the city will have you near cornfields enjoying the night. You can still hear traffic and train, but that was expected. Overall, it was a great stay away from the city. Thank you Melanie!

This site exceeded my expectations. There were all sorts of extra touches that made it comfortable and peaceful... especially when a rainstorm came through. We could hear the freeway and periodic trains, but really felt like we were in our own little world. Our dog was thrilled to run freely and she even made a dog friend!
