The Star Lookout   

A Peaceful Retreat with a Quiet Beauty

A few photos from our album and some nice comments from our friends who have stayed with us!

We love to enjoy the sunset and wait for the stars to come out above the warmth of a bonfire.

"We are in love with this place! When can we move in? Everything about it is perfect. The comfy bed, awesome view. gorgeous night sky, the fresh herbs from the garden, all the comforts of home, and, of course, our charming hosts, Ray & Barbara. You really do have a piece of heaven here. We will be back again and again."

"The Star Lookout hangs in the sky and certainly offers a peaceful retreat to all who stay here. I can feel the earth spin as I watch the sun set and see the metors fly through the night sky and feel refreshed. It is a wonderful place." 

Pam E., Anchorage, AK

Ahh!   A wonderful way to relax after a busy day of... er... relaxing.

"Of the many places traveled in the world, this definitely ranks at the top of our list. Ray and Barbara are gracious hosts, and Star Lookout is a place we would like to revisit. This cottage and its surroundings are perfect."     

Chris B. & George B., West Bloomfield, MI.

A culinary delight! Enjoy fresh, in-season vegetables and herbs from the garden.

'"You plant something in the ground and jump back." said caretaker Ray Bane, wiping his hands as he emerged from the garden at the Star Lookout, a vacation cottage with a sweeping view of the sea.  "We tell the guests to take whatever they want from the garden.  We can't keep up with it."'

Once in awhile the neighbors come to visit.

"Star Lookout is quite a place - a place I have walked past and dreamed of being here for years. And now I am here - feeling peaceful and at home with the location and the very caring and special caretakers, Barbara and Ray. ... It is difficult to leave the view - the breathtaking, mesmerizing view of Maui - ocean - mountain - clouds and rain. What a blessing to be in this place. I hope to come again."

"Perfect place! We want to come back or move in permanently. We will miss Barbara and Ray and the wonderful "talk story" around the camp fire. Also miss Tai Chi (the cat), fresh strawberries, etc."
