About this property

In-Town Moose Haus Lodge

This rustic cabin will give you the feeling that you are in the middle of the woods while having the convenience of being in town. Located just minutes from downtown Clear Lake, the historic Surf Ballroom, and City Beach, this is the perfect get-away spot! A large upper loft makes this a great option for families with kids or a peaceful retreat.

Two queen beds, two sofas, and welcomed air mattresses (not provided) make this cabin stay comfortable for 6-8 travelers.

*We know that dogs are family members so we are pet friendly, we simply add a $25 pet fee to the total of your stay. Sorry, we cannot allow cats due to family allergies.

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.
