About this property

Cozy Cabin in the Woods with a Short walk to the Lake, ORV Trails, and Skiing!

Location. Location. Location.

Our Cabin is the perfect location whether you chose to spend a week or a long weekend with friends and family in this updated cabin in the woods.
Camp Louise is tucked away in the quiet, serene forest of Northern Michigan. With a private lake only a ten-minute walk away, ORV trails just around the corner, four different ski resorts within 30 minutes (Schuss Mountain/Shanty creek, Boyne Mountain, Treetop Sylvan, The Otsego Club), and multiple golf courses nearby (one just 6 minutes away), Camp Louise is the absolute ideal location for a perfect vacation.

If outdoor sports aren't your fancy, cheers to you: you're only 30 minutes away from multiple breweries, distillers, and vineyards, and roughly 45 minutes to Traverse City. On top of all that, Camp Louise is only 40 minutes to beautiful Lake Michigan. Come relax and enjoy the sights and serenity that only Northern Michigan can provide!

The property has been renovated with the comfort of guests in mind. Throughout the process, our goal was to make this cabin in the woods feel like a home away from home: where friends could come and relax for a few days or a few weeks. Brand-new, comfortable furniture with plenty of seating allows for everyone to gather around to eat a great meal, play games, or warm up by the outdoor fire ring. The open-concept kitchen and island make it easy to prepare meals while laughing with the group or keeping your eye on the game.

If the weather has you down during your stay, the nearby clubhouse has plenty of things to keep you occupied: An indoor swimming pool and water slide, hot tub, lazy river, game room, and cozy fireplace!

This property gives you all the benefits of being remote and secluded, while still close to plenty of creature comforts. A ten-minute walk to the lake, a six-minute drive to golf, a restaurant/bar run by some of the friendliest people around, and only twenty minutes to a town that has everything you'll need. Come see why staying at Camp Louise is really our favorite place on earth:)

Amazing Family Retreat!

By far the best vacation rental experience we've had. The owners were amazing to communicate with from reservation to check out. The home was lovely and the most well appointed vacation rental we've stayed in. Plenty of towels... plenty of dishes... plenty of everything we needed to have a great week up north! We can't wait to go back again!

Spent 5 silent nights in this wonderful cabin. The location felt secluded but close enough to Gaylord to shop and eat out occasionally. The hosts were accommodating and we felt right at home. We would love to come back again!

Thank you so much for your kind words Barb, We would absolutely love to have you again! The balance of feeling secluded yet being close to both Gaylord and Boyne/Petoskey are really what sold us on the property as well! Thanks for choosing Camp Louise, and we can't wait to host you again!
