A house upon arrival that will take your breath away. The Smiling Moose Lodge is perfect for your next getaway or corporate retreat. The house sleeps 16 in beds and has plenty of space for the whole family, extended family and then some. You probably haven't ever heard of Mesick, MI, but you'll be sure to talk about it after your stay with us. Mesick is centrally located between Traverse City (think Cherry Festival), Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort, Cadillac, and Caberfae Peaks ski resort. We have over 12 acres for you to explore and the house is conveniently located 1/4 mile off of the snowmobile trail and close to all ORV trails. Bring all of your toys, we have plenty of room for parking. The Hodenpyl Dam Pond is 3 minutes away and you can enjoy all of nature by canoe, kayak or boat. There are many canoe trip outfitters close by, or bring your own and make a day trip out of it down the Manistee River. The possibilities are endless and we can help.

Frequently asked questions
About the host

Why they chose this property
What more could you want in an Up North Michigan getaway? A genuine log cabin (the word cabin makes you think small and this is certainly not small), secluded in the woods with nature surrounding you, a pond out back and a stream flowing through the property. You can't help but let all of your cares go after you enter the house. The quaint Village of Mesick is the setting and you are close to everything "Up North" Michigan has to offer.
Do you need a house for a large group of people? Look no further than the Smiling Moose Lodge. You'll be so comfortable you won't want to leave, but should you venture off the property, you are a short drive to everything.

What makes this property unique
You'll feel right at home while staying at the Smiling Moose Lodge. A big, comfortable, sectional sofa beckons you to relax. Supremely comfortable beds with soft linens welcome you to a great night of sleep. All the comforts of home are at your fingertips with wi-fi, big television above the fireplace and a second tv in the loft, full cable tv service with DVR and a ping pong/air hockey table for family fun.
Step outside on the large front deck where you can watch the sun rise over the trees to the East and see the deer feeding in the field. Out back you have a fire pit with an endless supply of wood. Roast your marshmallows with a backdrop soundtrack of the pond fountain and bullfrogs.
