The space
The Sleepy Moose – A Secluded Forest Retreat With Room for Everyone!

Sleepy Moose is on half an acre, surrounded by tall pine trees, and backs up to the national forest. It is a unique cabin located in the heart of Hochatown. All the timber elements, both indoors and outdoors, feature live edge, and solid log construction. The stairs, in particular, have been crafted using 1/2 logs for a unique and rustic touch.

Enjoy a brand new (as of 2024) floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and new game room packed full of your favorite games. The property is adorned with vibrant ferns and meticulously landscaped.

In the evening, the entire property is beautifully illuminated by landscape lighting, creating a truly breathtaking sight.

With warm wood tones and rustic charm, it's the perfect spot to relax on the deck, soak in forest views, or unwind by the glow inside. A serene haven for both adventure and quiet moments.

Host profile image
I was born on the East Coast, raised in Maryland, & moved to Utah for college. My husband and I then moved to San Francisco for dental school (he went to UoP). As a military family, we moved around for a few years before settling in California. Our favorite duty stations were Virginia Beach and Okinawa, Japan! We have two little boys and love showing them all around the world.
