Weekend Getaway!

We had 6 families all with kids stay and we had a great time. The location is great with the beach 5 minutes away, and Waupaca just 10 minutes away. We also attended the Tater Toot Fest in Almond, and the kids loved it! The barn is clean and offers every amenity we could ask for.

This is the second time we've stayed at the "Moose House" with our group of 9, 65+ year olds. The spacious, open kitchen, dining and living space is perfect for us. The Waupaca area provides a variety of activities for us as well.

A few major things did not work. The A/C. Temp was 75 and a/c was set to 70 and it would not come on. Very uncomfortable sleeping in the loft. One of the stoves griddle knob was broken off and wouldn’t work. Cooking for 8 men made it difficult. Also we never were able to get the tv to work in the basement and it took over an over to figure out the main floor tv. There were no instructions on the how to do it. Overall I don’t think we’ll go back. Al Benning
