About the host
Hosted by Ryan
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.
