Great family get-away

Perfect family get-away. Easy access to the water, spacious gathering spaces and inside games when it was a little rainy. The cabin was described accurately and the owners were super responsive. One thing to note is the cabin is a solid 30 mins from Hayward, so prepare accordingly. We are super thankful we were able to experience the perfect cabin.

Great vacation home!

Very nice, clean, and fun home. Moose Lake is quiet and remote. We enjoyed the fire pit, pool table, internet, game room, kitchen, deck, kayaks, and dock. Our kids enjoyed the beds, but I’m not a fan of the mattresses. Amazon soft mattresses from a box seem to be the norm now in rental homes. If you like that, you’ll be comfortable. My wife and I prefer firm mattresses. Fishing is solid… caught walleye from 10 - 17 inches. Also caught Muskie, northern, small mouth, and perch. I would not consider Moose Lake a swimming, tubing, skiing lake. The lake is shallow with a lot of stumps, etc. The water is dark as coffee. This is all good for walleye fishing:) However, the host provides a swimming mat which is cool.The home is remote, but we enjoyed the solitude. A couple good restaurants close by. JB moose shack is crazy good. It looks like a simple bar restaurant, but the food…. Steak… is delicious.The only downside is that it is a 40 minute drive to Hayward and you have to drive on gravel roads for awhile.If we rented a home on Moose Lake again, we will stay here for sure.

Stay on Moose Lake

The accomdations were delightful. The house was well appointed and contained everything we needed for the week. The only issue we encountered was slow internet. Most of us were not affected but one person had some on line work to do and he had problems. Not much the hosts can do. But potential guests should be aware.

Remote Cabin in the Woods

The cabin was beautiful and full of amenities. There was even a basket of toys in a play area for our kids. We had a nice paddle on the kayaks and kept our pontoon at the dock. It's a hike into town. The beds were big, soft, and comfortable. The closets were big.

Family Vacation

Property was clean and warmly decorated- very much a Northwoods vibe! The owner was responsive to questions prior to our stay. There were some nice amenities- kayaks, rowboat, games, toys, etc. All the kids, young and old, loved the lily pad and we enjoyed watching the sunsets from the dock! There was definitely enough room for our big family. The property was a little farther from Hayward than we would have liked & the Wi-Fi a bit slow, but overall it was quiet and relaxing!

He house was very clean and comfortable with many amenities-kayaks, row boat, pool table, foosball table, poker table, grill, fire pit, and a dock. There was so much to do even on a rainy day. Our only disappointment was that we have a bigger pontoon boat and the dock was not big enough for it. From the pictures it appeared we would be fine. Great stay!

We were blown away when we arrived. The house is beautiful & the location & view even more. Tranquil, calming, & quiet place where you hear the loons on the water and an occasional fishing boat off in the distance. We made this our headquarters so we could go into Hayward for the day & also for the lumberjack world championship. I recommend this place to anyone who would like the experience we had.

Fish Haven Stay

We had a fabulous stay at this home. We had two families of four with kids ages 2-9. There was more than enough space for all of us and plenty of activities available for the kids to do at the house. We enjoyed fishing and using the provided kayaks and paddle boat. The pool table was a hit and we enjoyed the outdoor space in the back to relax and for the kids to ride their bikes and play outdoor games. We had a great time with our utv’s with access right from the house to the trails. We enjoyed Louie’s Landing right down the road for a pit stop from riding and for the kids to swim in the lake. The dock was the perfect place to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets. The house had all of the kitchen utensils needed and the house was stocked with amenities. This is a great place to unplug from your devices. Thanks for the great stay!

Private Location

House was as pictured, clean and well-stocked. Very private location...you cannot see another house when in the house or yard. Listing said DISH TV and DVD player, but there was no DISH TV and the DVD player was not working. We do not have any smart TV apps, but a couple of them were still signed in, so we were able to watch some movies at night and during the rain. Overall, the house was as-advertised, the beds were comfortable, the location was great, the lake was beautiful even though the fish were not biting. Would definitely recommend this property. Owners had yard treated for mosquitoes, so as long as the sun was up, they were basically non-existent, which was wonderful.
