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.

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.

What an awesome experience staying here! The barn was spacious, clean, well stocked and cozy. There was plenty of space to hang out, play cards, cook and relax. The fireplace was an added bonus. The host was very responsive and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Wisconsin Hunters

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.

Visiting Grandkids

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!🇺🇸

Rustic pet friendly vacation rental

It was the perfect place for us. We enjoyed the large lot for our pets, space to move around, and overall set up of the rental. One bathroom with low light was hard to manage when dealing with eye contacts but I was able to figure out a way to manage. We'd come back again.

Was perfect for my family gathering! House was immaculately cleaned, beds were comfortable, grounds were perfect for outdoor activities, located very close to downtown Clear Lake. House decor was adorable and all major essentials like bedding, towels, and paper products were provided. Would highly recommend!

Perfect Family Get Together

We loved this place! We stayed New Year’s Eve and attended a concert at the Surf Ballroom with our older children and their significant others. The property is close enough to walk to the Surf but it was winter so…. Super cozy with a fireplace and everything you need to have a fun family get together including board games, movies, Roku TV, and a rustic checkers game. The loft allowed the teens and young adults to have a “sleepover” and the downstairs bedroom provided the privacy we parents needed. The hosts live next door but gave us the privacy we wanted and we felt we could have contacted them if needed.
