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.

LLG is a dog friendly property. All pets must be identified and agreed to prior to your stay. While we love dogs, insurance does not allow for the following breeds (pure or mixed): Akita, Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Pit Bull Terrier, Bull Mastiff, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Chow, Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, St. Bernard, German Shepherd, Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Wolf Hybrid, Belgian Malinois.

Up North Getaway
We recently stayed at the LLG for our second time. We had another outstanding time at this property which has been significantly upgraded since our last visit there a few years back. The property is clean, well maintained and had all sorts of amenities for us to enjoy. We are looking forward to heading back to the LLG in the future.

Perfect Getaway!!
This is our second time staying at this rental and we absolutely loved it! Its perfectly secluded and has EVERYTHING you need for a great vacation. We spent hours kayaking and fishing and spent the evenings playing in the gameroom. If you want your family to "unplug" for awhile, this is the perfect place! Love the new updates since the last time we were there!

Winter Weekend
We had a long weekend and took a fun trip up north. This home fit our needs perfectly. There was plenty of room, 2 full bathrooms, a large, fully appointed kitchen and dining area, living room and den, and a great location close to the ski/tubing hill and Gaylord. The house was impeccably clean, and the owners thought of every need. The lake location is beautiful. We enjoyed the pool table, air hockey, darts and foosball. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. We wish we could have stayed longer. The owner also was very responsive whenever we messaged him on VRBO.

Grousing
We were a group of 3 ‘older’ single ladies plus one couple, all with spaniels. We came to grouse hunt so we were gone first thing in the morning after coffee and quick breakfast. In the early evening we returned exhausted to this relaxing oasis. The yard area is large and we threw a few water retrieves for dogs in the tranquil pond. Two dogs slept in crates in the house, all others slept in the cars which worked out beautifully. This clean updated home is comfortable and well equipped for all kinds of games. Common space is very open and inviting. We were never at the house long enough to explore all that it offered. All 3 bedrooms share the 2 baths (none are attached to a bedroom). The bath off the kitchen has a particularly nice shower. Great house! Thank you.
