We enjoyed a week's stay and from the moment we arrived we were welcomed! We were told it is our vacation so the family wants to do everything they can to make it relaxing.

The cabin was very clean, had everything you need and decorated with an up north theme. The dock service was 100 percent! Josh was always available to get minnows, clean fish, assist with docking and their 3 point harness system for securing your boat was fantastic. (Plus assisting with charging our boat battery!)

Don't hesitate to experience the Sandy beach, water toys, boating, fishing and relaxing! We WILL be back!

June 2020 was my first time up at the Moosehorn Resort for a guys walleye fishing trip. While the fishing wasn't the greatest, we certainly were well taken care of by Sean and Josh! So this year we decided to try going up for the walleye opener, and man what a trip we had! Sean and Josh sure know how to take care of us fishermen. If you have boat troubles, Sean or Josh hop in to try to help. Need help cleaning a fish, they have cleaned a fish or two in their time. Not having any luck finding fish, Sean may be able to point you in the right directly. The bottom line is, these guys are AWESOME, and I hope to be able to go back not only for future walleye openers, but other fishing trips as well!

We had a GREAT time at the Moosehorn Resort ! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to stay the week while we fished the beautiful Lake Kabetogama ! Our hosts (Amy and Shaun) we’re very helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable. Josh was a great help with making sure our boat was tied up in storms and he was there whenever you needed some help . Bauer the dog was a great fella too ! We enjoyed our stay there and we would HIGHLY recommend staying there to anyone who needs a great fishing vacation !

Just returned from a 4 night stay (January 6th - January 10th 2020) at Mahaffey's Moosehorn Resort in the Timberwolf cabin. What a great place to stay! We had a group of 5 guys that had stayed at the Timberwolf cabin, much larger than we needed but it was great to have the extra space inside for our ice fishing gear (minus the ice auger of course). Our cabin was well maintained, plenty of cookware, dish towels, and glasses. We were welcomed the night of our arrival by Sean, the new owner of the resort. Sean made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and checked in a few times to make sure everything was working good for us. One of the guys in our group was lucky enough to catch a 40" Northern, at the end of the day Sean and his son Josh stopped by to congratulate him on his success! He even brought along a Moosehorn sweatshirt to give as the start of a new tradition for catching a large fish. I would definitely return back to Mahaffey's Moosehorn Resort.

Thank you Sean and Josh for the great hospitality!

Kind Regards,

Jeff S. and the guys

My husband & I stayed the 4th of July week at Moosehorn & had a great week. We have already booked for next year. The staff is so friendly & helpful. We brought our own pontoon boat & Josh, the dockhand, was always right there to help us dock the boat or get out of the dock area. We stayed in the Eagle Cottage & really enjoyed the view from our deck. We grilled out every night & enjoyed just hanging out taking in the beautiful scenery. We can't wait to return next summer!

We recently spent our annual fishing week at this resort. My family has been coming to this lake for over 60 years and we have been coming to Moosehorn for over 15 years. The new owners are wonderful. They are so accommodating. The cabins are very clean and well maintained. We stay in the large Timberwolf cabin and really enjoy the large deck and grill provided. Our cabin even has a dishwasher which is very much appreciated. It's a great place to spend a relaxing week fishing, enjoying the beautiful scenery and just spending time with family and friends. We look forward to returning again in 2022. If you are thinking about spending time on this lake, I would highly recommend this resort. You will be well treated and want to return again.

Been coming to Kaatogama for years and the new owners of this resort make you feel like family. The atmosphere is relaxed, centered on fishing, and enjoying beautiful lake Kabatogama. Shawn and family make you feel welcome, there to just relax and rejuvenate. Thank you, we'll be back !

We absolutely love our time spend on Kabetogama Lake and it is due in large part to the crew at Moosehorn. Sean & Josh (along with Bauer & Moose) welcome our family each summer and treat us like friends, not simply guests. This year they went above and beyond on what can only be described as a high stress season for them with the high water to make sure our stay was as comfortable as ever. Thank you guys for all that you do!

Now four-generations of our family have stayed at Moosehorn Resort over a period of 60 years. The combination of this plum property with the grandeur of Lake Kabetogama is simply unbeatable destination for a northern retreat. Under new ownership, I am thrilled to find the resort in excellent hands, and managed in a way to lends credence to the notion that "you are paying for relaxation." Whether new to Moosehorn or thinking of returning, please be encouraged to experience this gem!

We had an awesome week at Mahaffey’s Moosehorn Resort. We stayed in the Walleye cabin and really enjoyed how close we were to the docks and fish cleaning house. The view was spectacular and even with the unusual heat this June we were comfortable with the breeze off of the lake and one fan running in our cabin. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating especially Josh who was always there to help us dock the boat or with any needs we might have had. He went out of his way to show my son a huge walleye that another family had caught when he was playing at the playground near the dock when that boat came in. We can’t wait to go back next year!
