About this property

The Lake Louise Getaway - The best family vacation spot!


Welcome to Lake Louise Getaway!
Enjoy an old-fashioned "Up North" family getaway in this
quiet, modern and very private beachfront cottage. The Lake Louise Getaway
is located on Lake Louise in Johannesburg, Michigan, just 20 minutes
from Gaylord. The lake is a private all-sports lake that is 43 acres. Sorry, no personal boats may be brought.

This cozy three-bedroom cottage, that sleeps up to seven, is clean, modern and comfortable. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, bedroom #2 also has a queen-sized bed, bedroom #3 has a twin bunk and a single twin bed. Living room amenities include: 49" HDTV TV, Dish Network Satellite, Blu-ray DVD player, high speed wireless internet, and board games. In addition, Smart Devices (Alexa) are included throughout the home for your convenience. You can mute these devices if you prefer.

The kitchen is fully equipped with range, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker (traditional and Keurig), refrigerator, toaster, blender and all cooking utensils. For outdoor cooking, you'll find a gas grill, charcoal grill and dining table.

The beach is one of the best on the lake! As you can see from the pictures and maps, The Lake Louise Getaway is located on the tip of the northwest end. There is a marsh island directly across from the beach. This provides quiet seclusion, yet still being able to enjoy all water sports on this lake.

A paddleboat, rowboat, canoe and eight kayaks are included for your enjoyment. Life jackets are provided and are required when using the boats. Sorry, no personal watercraft may be brought.

The cottage is equipped with a full-sized washer and dryer. Linens and towels are provided.

Surveillance cameras are installed and in use on the front door, driveway, side yard and carport. These cameras are for security and must remain operational during your stay. (No cameras are installed inside the home!)

Unless you book, phone numbers and email addresses are blocked when communicating through VRBO. So, if you ask me to call you, I won't be able to see your phone number. I suggest searching for Lake Louise Getaway on the web and finding my website for contact info.

Maximum occupancy is seven guests (five adults max). Please review sleeping arrangements before booking. Gatherings / parties / events with more than the allowed maximum guests (7) is not allowed.
