Moose Lodge at Lake Mohawksin

Moose Lodge at Lake Mohawksin

10/10 Excellent
"We had a nice week spent at the Moose Lodge with family. When we entered the cabin, it was very clean and we soon found out that we overpacked because the cabin was well stocked with just about anything we could think of. The host was great and communicated in a timely manner for any questions we had. We were surprised to find the shed down by the lake stocked with life vests, fishing poles, water floats, cornhole, and many other things to do. The cabin has much to offer to keep kids entertained between the board games, puzzles, pool table, ping pong, movies, slot machine, and many water activities at the lake. Our granddaughter also had fun at the local playground and splash pad at Washington park. We did not end up catching as many fish as we had liked, but were starting to figure out some spots before we left. If taking a boat out be sure to look at the lake map in the coffee table to see the areas where stumps are possible. There are a few that were not visible. We moved slowly at idle speed in those areas knowing we may bump into a few stumps. As always, time went by way too fast, but we would recommend this cabin and plan to stay again sometime."
