We think Moose Junction is most comfortable for groups of 10 or fewer -- plenty of sleeping options and room to spread out. However, we can sleep up to 13. Also, due to the extra wear and tear, especially on the septic and water usage, we charge an extra person fee for groups over 10 guests (automatically added).

You have access to the whole house, game room, movie theater, backyard and the side yard.

We do not live locally, but are available by phone, email, or through the app. Our wonderful cleaner is available on-location for immediate needs.

Great weekend getaway
The house was wonderful, lots of room for everyone. We had a great time with the pool table, ping pong and games. Being able to play in the snow right outside was a great bonus. Host were very responsive and quick to questions. Will be looking for this house next year!

Family Fun!
Our family enjoyed our stay at your wonderful cabin! There were activities galore with out having to leave. We enjoyed the pool table and the fun games outside ex. Shuffle board, badminton, swing set basketball! I meant there so many things to keep you busy. Everything was very clean and well kept. The theater was one of our favorites! We planned a movie night with all the kids they enjoyed it. We would definitely be coming back again! Oh and the wine and chocolates made mom and dad happy 😊 Thanks again for having us!

Best place to make memories!
5 stars all around! There was so much snow too and the best part was that we didn’t have to leave the house to go play in it. The trip was amazing for all 9 of us plus our dog. The whole house was warm so it made everything real comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the movie theater they spent most of the time there when not playing in the snow. The adults enjoyed the two story aspect of it because the kids had their own space. The amenities were a major key for our enjoyment there was a washer / dryer , the kitchen has all the appliances and any dishes, pots, forks, etc. that you may need. I was able to bbq everyday and enjoy the scenery out on the deck. We made a lot of great memories so we will definitely be back. Returning to the same house is an easy choice since the owners provided amazing customer service and were prompt in answering any questions we had, they really were amazing and easy to communicate with.

Amazing place!
We stayed with some extended family here - with a handful of teenagers and there was no shortage of fun things to do without leaving the house. We played hours of pool and ping pong. Location is beautiful! Communication with owners was easy and efficient. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

5 Star Cabin
Moose Crossing is the best rental we have ever had in the mountains! Quiet, close to Big Trees and fishing, and plenty of fun things to do at the cabin itself - excellent shuffleboard and impressive home theater! The kitchen has literally everything you might have at home, which makes cooking fun. Even our dog felt at home, which is not easy to achieve. The hosts are truly superhosts - thank you for your hospitality and a truly memorable trip!
