It was clean. Staff was nice. Cottage was cute, well decorated with a small kitchen in a quiet more remote area. Everything was in working order. Bed was comfy. We liked it and if it's any comparison, we live in a large log home. This was quaint and perfect.

Very nice tidy cabin. Comfortable bed. The cabin had several games to play which was nice because we had a lot of rain. The outdoor grilling area looked great but we didnt use it. It's a great location close to town but quiet. Check in was great, just pull up, call the number and meet at the cabin. Bathroom in the Munchin Moose is very small. Shower is small and no sink. You use the kitchen sink. Not a problem for us.
