Great host

Lovely cabin, spacious, serene, perfect heating system. The kitchen was low on utensils. The host brought some over the moment I brought it to her attention. Thank you muddy moose for a great vacation.

NICE

This is our second time staying here and the cabin is beautiful. I have two issues with staying here. The pots and pans to be replaced, they're very old. One of the beds in the downstairs room is really bad. It was bad when we stayed the first time and 4 years later the bed is still horrible.

Great stay at the Muddy Moose!

This house is amazing! There were a total of 10 of us (4 kids/6 adults) and we never ran out of room! Everyone’s favorite room was the downstairs bedroom that was quickly deemed the “kids room” because of the two sets of bunk beds. The views off the back deck were amazing and on our last night we even saw three bears! 🐻 We would all stay here again hands down! Everything you could want/need was available including a high chair and pack-n-play. There’s a TV in every bedroom and all the mattresses were so comfortable!! Thank you again! Meaghan

First Timers!

My family and I which is comprised of six adults and four kids ages 6 months to 12 years old took our first trip up to the mountains! Our ultimate destination was the inflatable playground at Lake Gregory which did not disappoint! The Muddy Moose house could not have been more perfect. It is a huge house which accommodated all of us perfectly. The downstairs bunkbed room was a total hit with the kids and it was filled with games and books. We could not get over how big the house was which was so nice because we never felt on top of one another. We stayed for three nights and everything we could have needed was there. The kitchen is fully stocked, all the beds were comfortable, and there was even a high chair for the baby. The only reason I did not give the house a full 5 stars was because the A/C only worked well in part of the house. When we stayed at the Muddy Moose it was nearly 100 degrees outside so inside became quite warm in some rooms. Otherwise, I don’t have a single complaint about our stay and would recommend this house in an instant. Thank you!
