Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
Hello from The Schellings. Our family of 5 enjoys traveling and lots of activities. Since we have three boys, spending time outdoors is a MUST. That's why we love spending time at the Moosehead!
We built The Moosehead Cabin 10 years ago. We wanted a place we could get to easily for the weekend (less than 2 hours from Seattle), and had lots of space for our boys to run. We also wanted a lake where we could enjoy activities like water skiing, fishing, and canoeing.
When we stumbled on on Bay Lake, we knew we had found the place. Steve, who was nicknamed "moose" throughout his school years, thought it would be great to build a mini-lodge with a moose as the centerpiece. And so it began.
The Moosehead Cabin has been a labor of love, and we enjoy every minute we're there. We hope you do to.

I have stayed at the Moosehead Cabin twice now, and still fantasize about getting back there. Rarely have I stayed at a vacation rental so well-stocked with necessities for either kids or adults. My first trip was to celebrate a 40th birthday, and we enjoyed the privacy, terrific hot tub, and gorgeous porches - not to mention the huge kitchen, great seating for all guests, and the moose. My second trip was with my two young children and another family, and the home was just as welcoming. The kids loved the canoes, the birds on the lake, the hot tub, being so close to a great state park, room to run around safely indoors, huge fireplace, and bunk beds. We also appreciated zipping out to pick up fresh oysters, finding everything we needed to cook awesome dinners, and plenty of space for us all to relax without crawling over one another. The home is well-equipped, especially the kitchen. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The owner responded very promptly when we got confused about something early in our stay. The location is close enough to get to in a reasonable amount of time from Seattle or Portland, but feels like you are far away from civilization with all the perks one needs. We look forward to making this our regular escape in the coming years, particularly as the kids grow up.

This is NOT a cabin...it is a beautiful HOME. Our mouths dropped when we got here. It was so much better than we imagined. We had 3 families, all with young children, and everyone had the best time ever. The kids were out on the boats every day, and the hot tub was a welcome delight for us "older" folks. We roasted smores around the campfire (we even had clear skies, and could see the stars), and made some wonderful dinners together in the kitchen. Fall is beautiful here, with the crisp air and the changing leaves. We took hikes through the park up the street and LOVED every minute. We plan to return every year (maybe even next summer to enjoy that pool).

We had the best time and hope to return every summer! The house is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. The kids would wake up in the morning and immediately head outside. From the pool to the hot tub to the lake to the dock to the firepit.... I could go on and on. This was the best vacation we have had in the U.S. and cannot wait to return!

We stayed at the cabin with two families on Memorial Day weekend. The cabin was big enough to easily accommodate everyone. The cabin has a very good and open layout with a nice sized kitchen. Outside the property was in good shape and the kids enjoyed the play equipment and pool. It was a great weekend and we would like to return someday.

We are a group of moms that get together once a year, from all over the Northwest. We've stayed in a lot of places, but this is by far our favorite. From the nice decorations, to the hot tub on the deck, to the beautiful lake and property, we love The Moosehead!
