If you’re ready for a little Utah staycation and you’re looking for something unique, you’ll want to check out this brand new lodge in Huntsville. It has its very own observatory for stargazing!
Utah's newest lodge is open for business! Welcome to Compass Rose Lodge, a beautiful getaway tucked into the Ogden Valley. You'll find this treasure at 198 S. 7400 E., Huntsville, UT 84317
The lodge has 15 cozy guest rooms with king or queen-sized beds. You'll love the combination of farmhouse decor and industrial accents, and you'll have everything you need during your stay.
In winter months, you'll enjoy the snowy landscape of Huntsville, and you'll want to spend a day on the slopes at Snowbasin. Rose Compass Lodge is the closest hotel to the resort.
In warmer months, you'll enjoy strolling the grounds here, and will want to venture further afield to check out Pineview Reservoir for its boating, waterskiing, and fishing opportunities.
You won't have to travel far to see one of the best sights Huntsville has to offer. Compass Rose has its very own observatory so that you can see the stars up close during your stay.
The Huntsville Astronomical Lunar Observatory (HALO) boasts a 16-inch aperture Ritchey-Chretien style telescope to allow for some world-class observing.
The skies above Huntsville are fairly free of light pollution, so this is an excellent place to see thousands of stars you won't be able to view in more populated spots in Utah.
