Clean, Classic Cabin on a Beautiful Hunting Reserve
We stayed at the Moose cabin, and although we we don’t hunt and were just staying nearby to family and friends for the weekend, we could not recommend Moose Cabin enough. It was very clean and well-kept classic cabin right off a large pond in the reserve and was exactly as advertised.The property owner was fantastic at making sure we were comfortable, relaying information and was easily reachable. Most definitely would rent again!

Location + Neighborhood
The seclusion we read/heard about was over-stated. Neighbors in the nearby lodge could be clearly heard during the evening hours. We were there for some quiet time and hopefully to enjoy some wildlife. I am pretty sure their noise/activity limited the latter.

Mark,
Thank you for sharing your feedback following your recent stay at our property. We appreciate your honesty and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced.
We're sorry to hear that the level of seclusion was not up to your expectations. Your comments about noise from nearby neighbors are concerning, and we regret that it impacted your quest for quiet and wildlife enjoyment.
Creating a tranquil environment is a priority for us, and your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement. We appreciate your understanding, and we're committed to taking necessary steps to enhance the overall guest experience.
We hope you give us another opportunity in the future to provide you with the secluded and peaceful retreat you were seeking. Perhaps one of our other cabins would interest you, as they do not share a lake with any other cabin.
Warm regards,

This was one of the best trips we have taken! Everything was there, you just need to show up! The whole reserve is as beautiful as it sounds! The worst part is the last day and seeing the sad faces and we drive out the gate. Would definitely recommend!
