You’ll be right on the Douglas Lake waterfront when you vacation at Moonside Retreat, an authentic log cabin with 260 feet of shoreline. The cabin has its own boat dock that’s accessed by a wide steep path. If you’re swimming in the cove, you can climb up the ladder to return to the dock and jump in again. With two large decks, a patio and dock, you’ll have plenty of places to enjoy the great outdoors and your beautiful view.

Moonside Retreat’s open-floor plan brings kitchen, living and dining areas together in one big open space. A cathedral ceiling draws your eyes to the gleaming pine walls, the many windows with exceptional lake views and the fireplace. Lie back in the comfortable furniture and watch the fire along with your favorite programs playing on the large TV. You also have free Wi-Fi within Moonside Retreat so you can send vacation photos home to friends.

You have a well-equipped kitchen ready to help you feed your friends and family. There’s also a gas grill downstairs on the patio and a charcoal grill on the main floor deck (bring your own charcoal). Few things smell better than the aroma of steaks cooking in the fresh air.

When you’ve hiked, biked, boated and swam during the day, your group will be ready for a good rest. The primary bedroom includes a TV perfectly positioned for late-night viewing. This bedroom also has an en suite bathroom with a large jetted soaking tub and a walk-in shower. There are two additional bedrooms, each with a TV and a comfortable bed. Guests staying in these bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Guests can also sleep in the daybed/trundle in the loft and in the built-in bunks by the stairs.

There’s a second living room with TV and comfortable furniture downstairs so your group can fully spread out. As a special convenience, you’ll also find a washer and dryer within Moonside Retreat. You’ll have a relaxing, fun-filled vacation along Douglas Lake when you reserve Moonside Retreat for your next vacation.

Very clean. Gorgeous views and very private. Comfy beds and lots of space between bedrooms. Master is on top floor, other two bedrooms in basement, so be prepared for stairs. 3 decks were lovely. Had a great time with family

The cabin is nice and clean with lots of windows. Just make sure to bring your own pans, the pans were very limited in the kitchen.
