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:)

Also, ask us about a potential discounts during non-peak times!

Perfect getaway
Highly recommend a stay at Camp Louise. The home was perfect for our family of 7. It was well equipped with plenty of dishes, towels and basic cooking ingredients but also included a kayak and pickle ball kit for outdoor play. Clubhouse with indoor pool is great however it does have an additional fee. Both lakes are quiet and pretty small but have nice beach and swim areas. Communication with the owner has been excellent. We were very pleased with our stay!

Family Vacation
The house and property are even more beautiful in person! Very homey! Had everything we needed. The first family vacation we’ve had in years, first one with our kids being adults and having our grandson with us. We got to cook over the campfire, go for walks, went fishing, and swimming. The deck was perfect for relaxing on. We all loved this place!

Great Host
There were some technical difficulties during our stay. The host, Kent, did absolutely everything he could to fix it and make it right. He went above and beyond considering the issue wasn't something he could predict or control. The house is in a location that will give you the essential "up north" vibes. In a wooded area that felt very private. Very relaxing. We stayed for a golf trip. There was plenty of room to spread out and there are a number of good golf courses in the area. Bellaire and Gaylord are short drives away if you need some entertainment or dining options. We will definitely be staying here again.

Quiet, in the woods!
We found Camp Louise to be a fantastic place for us. Little more than an hour drive to the Mackinac bridge and Boyne was even closer. Gaylord is maybe 15 minutes away and had anything we needed including decent restaurants. We also cooked at home and our kitchen was set up very well for that. Pencil lake was beautiful and clean. We had a wonderful stay here!

Perfect Home Base Our Family of 5
Kent's home was exactly what we wanted in a "home base" during our ski trip. Affordable, clean, roomy and relaxing with all the amenities needed such as a stocked kitchen, cozy living room, washer/dryer and a sunroom where we could store our ski gear. 20 min. to groceries, 30 min. from Boyne, an hour from Harbor Springs - it was perfect to come home to. Each child had their own room, so they were very excited about that. He even had a kick-back refund if we left the home in good shape, which we always do, but it was nice to be recognized for that. Thanks for providing wonderful home base. We made memories on the hills, that we never forget.

Fantastic cabin in the woods
My family and I arrived to this beautiful cabin in the woods a few hours early as Kent seems ti be by far one of the best VRBO owners I've dealt with and allowed us to arrive early since nobody had stayed there the couple days prior to our arrival. Quiet and serene are the perfect description. We all enjoyed time around the campfire with the provided firewood (major bonus!!!!) enjoying smores and putting away our devices and re-connection as a new family. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you need couples time or family time to get away. WE look forward to visiting again in warmer summer months.

Let's vote" Kent" for the #1 Superhost!
My husband and I stayed in this house utilizing the downstairs only. It was very clean, spacious with comfortable couches and bed. The kitchen has everything you will ever need. We have stayed at a number of VRBO places in the past. The host, Kent, supersedes all expectations for communicating, generosity, and guidance! We had a concern at the beginning of our stay and Kent immediately took care of it. We asked him for recommendations, and on several occasions he gave us lists of possibility's. Whenever we had a question, he responded within minutes. He offered discounts, and even a free night because his property did well this year. Who does that???? Kent the #1 Superhost!!! Thank you. We'll be back!

Cozy Cabin, Great Location
We had a nice week up in Elmira. The open floorplan made it easy for us to spread out. The property is very quiet and secluded while still being close to many amenities. We used the community pool a couple of times for a reasonable fee for our family of 8. We also went to Sleeping Bear, Traverse City, Gaylord, and Mackinaw City throughout our stay. Kent was very responsive to our questions. Thanks for a nice week!
