What can I say about this place that its previous stayers haven’t said yet?First and foremost if you have multiple kids 7 this is the place to stay.The kids made the bottom rec room their own hangout giving the adults room to kick back and relax upstairs.We all loved the hot tub, the different types of communal hangout spaces and the giant open back area to explore out in the wilderness.The kitchen was fully stocked which gave us an opportunity to have a family dinner of ten on their massive dining table. The management team running overall communication with us were very responsive through the VRBO chat app and very transparent with the rules making our stay without any hassle or worry at all.We will absolutely stay here again and with any luck to more snow when we return.

We loved our stay at Blue Moose! The home was very spacious, perfect for three families with kids. The kitchen had everything we needed, BBQ works great, the hot tub was nice and clean, and the back of the property opens up into the forest where the kids had a blast exploring and sledding in the snow!
