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

About the host
Hosted by Kent Swick
Our family has had the good fortune to travel much of the world and see lots of places, yet we keep coming back to Northern Michigan as it never disappoints. We're proud Michiganders, and can't wait for you to experience everything that Northern Michigan has to offer here at Camp Louise.
Why they chose this property
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but :
Location, Location, Location.
When we purchased Camp Louise, our goal was to give our guests the benefits of being secluded in the woods, yet steps away from a spring-fed, sandy-bottom clear lake as well as miles upon miles of ORV trails. Once we found this property, we knew it checked every box. Throughout it's renovation process, our goal was to make this cabin as comfortable and easy to spend as much or as little time in as our guests would want. That meant ensuring brand-new comfortable furniture with plenty of seating both in the living area, and the dining table. We ensured the kitchen and island made it easy to prepare meals and interact with the rest of your family or friends staying with you, and even be able to keep an eye on the game at the same time. Now we've added a new three-season room and 12x16 deck for enjoying those quite morning coffee's and evening drinks as well.
