About this house rental

Escape to our beautiful 5-room lakefront retreat in Mesick, Michigan — the perfect home base for outdoor adventure, family fun, or peaceful relaxation year-round. Nestled on the shores of the quiet Hodenpyl Dam Backwaters, this spacious home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests and is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and convenience.

The house includes 4 designated bedrooms plus a private office with a bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups. The spacious master bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed and a full en-suite bathroom, creating a private retreat within the home. Additional bedrooms offer queen and full beds, with ample space for everyone.

The heart of the home is an open-concept living and dining area with stunning lake views and a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for gathering after a day outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with basic kitchen needs, making it easy to prepare meals, and a large dining table invites family meals and game nights.

This home is well-suited for year-round adventure and comfort. In summer, spend your days hiking through the Manistee National Forest, riding nearby ORV trails, fishing, swimming, boating, or playing golf at top courses like Crystal Mountain and Arcadia Bluffs. Fall brings vibrant color tours along winding roads and crisp evenings around the outdoor fire pit. Winter guests will appreciate being just 20 minutes from Crystal Mountain for skiing and snowboarding, while snowmobilers can easily access trails directly from the property. Spring offers a uniquely northern Michigan experience at the Mesick Mushroom Festival, featuring guided morel hunts, vendors, and small-town charm.

The home offers conveniences that ensure a comfortable stay, including fast Wi-Fi, Smart TV, washer and dryer, ceiling fans, central heating and cooling, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit. For families, there are 2 pack & plays and board games/ cards.

Outside, you’ll enjoy a waterfront patio, backyard with outdoor furniture, picnic table and firepit. Guests are welcome to bring their own boat and tie it directly to the break wall behind the house, or Pat's RV Park in Mesick offers convenient pontoon rentals on Hodenpyl Pond.

Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of courses within 40 minutes, while Traverse City — just a short drive away — offers vibrant dining, shopping, and renowned wineries on the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas, perfect for year-round tasting and sightseeing.

Whether you’re planning a summer getaway, fall color adventure, ski weekend, or spring festival trip, this Mesick lakefront home combines the comforts of a well-appointed residence with the ideal location for exploring all that northern Michigan has to offer.

Great place on a quiet dead end street. We used it as a retreat from our golf during the day. That being said, a TV is needed in the upstairs. We had a couple of guys who have a hard time getting up and down stairs and the only TV in the house was in the basement.
