4 Bedroom House in Mesick

If you are looking for granite counter tops and marble tiled floor's this is not the house for you. However, if you wish your family had owned a lake house for the past 100 years, you are here. Built in 1925 for Hodenpyle reservoir dam operators to live in when in when the dam was
was manually operated, this house is a rare find and available to rent for the first time since being built in 1925. With nearly two acres on the reservoir, you have lake access for all water sports. Imagine having nearly 2 acres of yard to enjoy with your family and friends! Since you are by the Dam on the Manistee River, you can head down river behind the dam for great fishing, canoeing. and kayaking. This is one of the rarest parts of the Manistee River to Kayak/Canoe. Golf? There are many golf courses at great prices within a short drive. Pontoon boats are available for rent nearby from Pat's RV on the Hodenpyl. Kayak's can be made available upon request. Yard games are available for your use.
This is a 4 bedroom house that was shipped from Sears & Roebuck. We have tried to keep it as original as possible with all the charm and comfort you can imagine. The ground floor has a full bathroom as well as the dining room, living room and kitchen. The original porch was turned into a 3 season room that has comfortable seating to enjoy napping, chatting, or enjoying the outdoor views. The bedrooms are small due to the time this house was built. You have a fire pit and in the summertime and an outdoor pergola with ceiling fan to keep the bugs away. Say hi to Mr. Moose (rumor has it that if you smooch the moose you will come back).
No pets please. I know my pets but not yours.
Come, take a deep breath and relax with your family and friends in the family house you always wished your family had.

Summary: My family has come to Northern Michigan for the past 40 years. Our multi-aged group had great fun eating and playing outside in the beautiful surroundings. We cooked inside and outside on the grill. The enclosed porch was the perfect gathering place for doing a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle, reading, playing all under the watch of Mr. Moose. The 100 year old house had wonderful ceiling fans in every room and with perfect outside temperatures allowed us to turn off the air conditioning and open the windows. The kitchen had plenty of equipment to make fresh bread daily and gourmet meals. The living room provided enough seating for our group and family visitors from Traverse City to visit and play charades. Most of the bedrooms had very comfortable beds and my 6 year old granddaughter loved sleeping on the top bunch. It was a great time. This amazing house needed some deep cleaning and more kitchen towels.

Summary: There are many outdoor activities to do here. We brought our fishing boat. It was so nice to have the dock right there. The boys caught fish in the lake. Be careful when boating in the lake, there are some trees under the water. Electronics on your boat can help you navigate this. The bay in front of the house does not have any trees under water. We hiked the North Country Trail on the West side of the Manistee River and the Manistee River Trail on the east side of the Manistee River. Both were walking distance from the house and had amazing views! We kayaked the Manistee River from the house to the dam (very close) then we portaged over the dam to the river and Kayaked to the red bridge access site. This is a long portage and involves two sets of stairs. It was not difficult. This kayak trip is 3.5 hours if you do not stop. We packed lunch and there were plenty of places to stop along the river with a little beach. The Manistee River has a strong current and some white water at times. The boys also fished in the Manistee River and were successful. The lake in front of the house is a great place to just float. It gets deep very quickly. This is a great place for people who love to be outdoors. We also took day trips to Traverse City and visited wineries and to Frankfort. The house is very old, but worked out great for our needs. I was thankful to suggestions from other reviews, I recommend reading them.

Summary: This property is just as described. Was very comfortable and had a lot of extras (paper products, hand soaps, foil). Would have liked to of had a vacuum available. The gnats were an issue but we came prepared with bug netting for our hats. Brought our own boat and fishing was good.

Summary: My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. It was quiet and clean. It has a big yard and plenty of seating areas. It has a well stocked kitchen and the lake was beautiful. My children loved it here. We would visit again. The closest chain store for groceries and supplies is a Meijers in Cadillac. There is a small store about 10 minutes away. Thank you for letting us stay!

Summary: The house was big enough for all of us and has 2 bathrooms! The yard is huge and very beautiful so the kids weren't stuck with the adults all the time, we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to do it again next year. The neighbors are also very nice and helpful

Sheri K. Aug 11, 2022 12:51:12 AM
Summary: We had a great time. The house was big enough to accommodate us comfortably. The bathrooms were a little small but we expected that because of the age of the home. We chose this place because of its history as I enjoy learning about history and architecture. We were close to the hiking trails and the river for kayaking. Also, we brought our boat and parked it at the dock at the home. Plenty of space. Fishing was great, catching everything from sunfish to walleye. Also, we got to meet the neighbor who was very nice and helpful. Would stay here again! Thank you to our hosts.
