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!

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!

Perfect Michigan Vacation

We had a wonderful time staying at Camp Louise . The weather in Michigan was beautiful! Camp Louise is located in a very quiet community with nature all around. We brought our ORV with us and hit the many trails between relaxing and sight seeing at nearby Charlevoix, Petoskey and Gaylord. It was super clean and comfortable, and the owner left a detailed guide to help us navigate our stay.
