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.

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.

Fantastic Rental
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.

Yearly Trip to Clear Lake
I travel to Clear lake Every November from Michigan. I brought a friend along this year and I decided to rent a place rather then stay in a motel. I had told the host I would be bring dogs (6 beagles) and portable dog trailer/kennel to keep the dogs in. They had no problems with that. We enjoyed the our stay and also able to catch up with family in the area , as I grew up in Iowa. Before we left all sign of dog droppings were picked up and we tried our best to leave things in the order as we found it. My hope is the host will allow us to use the rental next year,

Fabulous!!!
3 adult women on a girls trip weekend. None of us had been to Clear Lake and didn’t know what to expect. What a friendly small town. It might just be one of the best small towns in America. And what a wonderful place to stay! It’s convenient to everything and yet so quiet and peaceful. The “barn” has been beautifully appointed with comfortable furniture and beds. There is plenty of room to spread out and you have everything you need. I’d give it a 10. I’d definitely stay there again.

Good surprises
The pictures don't do justice to this property. It is appointed with all kinds of thoughtful touches. Lots of blankets, soaps, new towels. Games and room to play games at several tables. Great gathering place for my family here for a memorial service. If we come back to the area we want this place again. We went swimming at city beach and there was a street festival downtown on thurs night, all summer thursdays I guess. My husband and I had a really nice dinner downtown at a place called Seven. We made a fire and played guitar too. Thank you to the owners for everything.

Fun and Rustic Barn Stay
What an awesome place to stay at! It was an accurate description and very clean! A little more Rustic as it was a barn they transformed. A friend and i stayed here for a concert at the Surf Ballroom and wished we could have stayed another night! So mucn fun here. The firepit, games, upstairs area, kitchen, bedroom, etc were all so fun and we loved the decor! We stayed at a more modern place the following night and both said we actually preferred this one, eventhough both were nice. Had such a home vibe to it. Would highly recommend! Only downside was only 1 bathroom but definitely do-able! Fun for families! We may be back again before too long!!!
