The One Washington Airbnb You Need To Book for Peaceful Dark Sky Views

There is something truly magical about the night sky. Gazing upward at the thousands of twinkling lights makes you want to slow down, be still, and just embrace the magic of everyday life. Located approximately 25 minutes away from Washington’s Lake Chelan is a hidden gem cabin where you can find those moments of stillness under an endless blanket of stars. It’s a place where you can find adventure, quiet, and memories. I believe it is perfect for your next cozy getaway.

Plato’s Cabin is an Airbnb that marks off all of the boxes. This gorgeous vacation rental in Chelan is tucked up on the hills of the Preserve at Antoine, a unique destination with 10 homes, gated entry, and peace and quiet for miles around. You'll feel like you’ve stepped away from your daily worries and can let your nervous system relax and recover.

Plato’s Cabin is a newer home filled with amenities, comfort, and luxury. Book a stay for a solo adventure, a couple’s getaway, or even to build memories with your entire family. The cabin features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to six guests. And as you walk inside, you’ll find that there’s so much to love about this home.

As you walk through the front door, you’ll find an open concept design that makes the space look large, and long windows let in ample natural light and allow you to easily enjoy the landscape outside. The kitchen is also beautifully designed and large, and features many appliances to make meal prep a breeze. Little touches are found all throughout this Airbnb, such as children’s dinnerware in the kitchen if you plan to bring little ones along.

The bedrooms are simple yet comfortable. Plush bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets ensure you are comfortable each night and make it hard to get up each morning.

And you’ll certainly want to sleep in because at night, you'll find you want to stay up late. This cabin offers exceptional dark sky views, as it sits on 600 acres of private land and light pollution is minimal. On clear nights, you can see the vibrancy of the stars shining above you and easily search for constellations. Even better, there are exceptional places to enjoy these views, such as sitting around the fire pit or in the large 6-person hot tub.

And even during the day, you can sit back and admire the area's natural beauty and the vast skies above you. While you can always stay put and enjoy the peaceful moments that this Airbnb offers, it’s also the perfect base camp for adventures and exploration. Outdoors, you’ll find miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and even snowshoeing. You may want to make the short drive to Lake Chelan for some time near or on the water. Keep in mind that due to the higher elevation of this Airbnb, this area does receive more snow than surrounding towns, and 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended for the drive to the cabin in the winter months.

There’s something completely relaxing, romantic, and magical about dark sky views, and when you pair it with a gorgeous and comfortable place to sleep, you may never want to leave. It’s places like this that make you want to slow down and be still—the hustle and bustle of life can wait.
