Philo & Lake Champlain Wild Sky Guesthouse Retreat with Sauna – Charlotte, Vermont Welcome to Wild Sky Guesthouse, your private forest retreat in Charlotte, Vermont — where the air is crisp, the stars are bright, and nature is your closest neighbor. This dreamy modern guesthouse combines cozy charm with big-sky views, and it’s just minutes from Vermont’s most beloved destinations. When guests arrive, they often pause in the doorway and simply say, “Wow.” That’s because the entire front of the guesthouse is framed by 10-foot-tall windows overlooking peaceful hills, forest, and ever-changing Vermont skies. Whether it’s golden autumn leaves, sparkling winter snow, or summer sunsets streaked with pink, the view is a living painting. The Space Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed, light-filled living space that feels open yet intimate. The open-concept living and dining area has high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that keep you connected to nature from sunrise to stargazing. A telescope is provided for exploring Vermont’s dazzling night skies — you’ll be amazed at how many stars you can see without city lights. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing your favorite meals. The luxury queen bed is dressed in soft linens for restful sleep. The modern bathroom offers a walk-in shower, plush towels, and essentials provided. Your Private Cedar Sauna One of the highlights of your stay will be the private cedar sauna, just steps from your door. Whether you’re unwinding after a hike up Mt. Philo, warming up after a winter adventure, or simply treating yourself to a spa-like ritual, the sauna is all yours to enjoy at any time. Outdoor Living Step outside onto your large private deck to breathe in the fresh Vermont air. Watch fireflies dance on summer nights. Listen for the call of owls in the surrounding forest. Sip coffee as morning light spills over the mountains. Location Highlights You’re tucked away in a peaceful setting, yet close to everything. Just 2 minutes from Mt.
