This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. It was perfect for us and our 4 kids. They had a blast in the huge loft and yard. There were so many thoughtful touches here.The host was good to work with, we had an issue come up that was my fault and she handled it with kindness. Can't say enough good things about this place.

The lodge was everything we wanted and more. It was spacious, with every amenity we could wish for. Our most favorite aspect was its rustic charm. Nestled off the road, its location surrounded by trees, feels like you could be in the middle of nowhere, yet it’s a short distance from the lake, restaurants and other points of interest. We would heartily recommend.

Great Group Stay

We celebrated New Year’s Eve and had our family’s Christmas celebration at this facility for the second consecutive year. The host lives next door and was quick to respond to our questions but gave us the privacy we desired. The quaint downstairs area features an old fashioned kitchen, seating area with a gas fireplace, large dining area, private bedroom and a bathroom. The upstairs loft includes a large open sleeping area, game room and living room where the siblings all stayed.

Barn of Awesomeness

We are passing thru to hunt in SD. I came upon this place b/c we have a dog...he needs some room to relax! I work in real estate and was hoping the photos were realistic. We were shocked at the size and incredible decor when we walked in. This barn has plenty of space on each level. Fireplace works great. The weather app says it is minus 3 degrees and it is warm in here. The driveway is hard to find in the dark. Very close to food etc. We would definitely stay again. I give this 11 out of 10 stars.

We stayed at the Moose Haus because a friend and I took our dogs on a hunting trip and were looking for a place to stay in the Clear Lake area. The old barn style Vrbo had everything we were looking for.

Rustic Barn Stay

Super cute restored barn to spend an evening or more. They have done a nice job giving this place character especially for those of use who are into repurposing & antiques. Just a note that for light sleepers the bathroom, as well as guests staying on the upper floor, are very noisy at night as it is an open floor plan & consider bringing your own pillows as theirs seem to be pretty worn & flat. Overall a great place to stay & would definitely return.

Great Place to Stay

Secluded. It seems like a great place to bring a large group of family/friends. Very inviting open space upon walking in. The only thing I would like to see is to have the driveway marked in some way. The instructions I received indicated that I should pull into the driveway on the west side of the property. We arrived in the evening, after dark, and the property sits a bit off the road. While I was able to see a building with the exterior light on, I was not able to clearly see the front of the building to confirm I was at the correct place. Just a suggestion--it would be helpful to have a separate sign (possibly Moose Haus Lodge or 430A or even another 430 sign at the entrance driveway). It wouldn't have to be anything big or fancy--just something to help us old people out!! LOL ;-) Beautiful, clean property and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone else.

Very nice piece of property secluded from the surrounding neighborhood. It is a barn with the feel of a barn. I am a carpenter by trade for almost 40 yrs and love the reclamation of all the different species of wood and steel that have made this barn feel like a home. We will be back!🇺🇸
