In 1970, Harry Gougar and his family came to northwest Wisconsin to find a site to build a family home. They purchased 160 acres of farm land from two individuals known as "Doc and Zim", in the Seeley Hills area. This land is located in the heart of several forests. Harry, who never built a log home prior, along with his family, started a venture which would last for eight years. When completed, the Gougar family created a most unique log home. The Gougars, used the trees on the property for log walls, oak flooring and pine trim. The rocks cleared from this land went into making the two story natural stone fireplace in the living room, a chimney and a fireplace in the basement.
The location was great, but little did Harry Gougar realize just how great it would become. Harry located this home in the middle of what was to become a great trail system, including the Birkebeiner Ski Trail and Chequamagon Fat Tire Trail, both world class events. Centrally located between Hayward and Cable Wisconsin, this site is close to area lakes, the Namekagon River and numerous sites, shops, attractions and restaurants.
The Inn now sits on nearly 20 acres of a clearing in the forest and is called Forest Moon B&B. Located on popular county highway "OO", the Inn is likely the most centrally located in the Great Northwest of Wisconsin for all the activities here. On cross country ski maps, and snowmobiling maps, etc., Seeley is right in the middle. The Inn is also part of the Trail Town USA area of Cable Wisconsin.
