You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy your Winter Getaway at the Peaceful Lakefront Chalet and hit the slopes!

The lakefront chalet is located on peaceful Lake Louise in Johannesburg. We invite you to come and enjoy the serenity of the lake.
You have two decks to choose from. One located out the back door of the chalet, and the other is a lake side deck that's great for soaking up the sun. We also have a fire pit, four kayaks and a paddle boat for your enjoyment.
We are just minutes from Gaylord's downtown "Alpine Village" where you'll find shops, restaurants and summer/winter festivals.
Gaylord is know as Michigan's golf mecca, and we are smack dab in the middle of the snow belt, so if your looking to hit the trails or the slopes you won't be disappointed!
Great trails for hiking, Teetops Resort & Otsego Resort for skiing or golfing are all within 15 minutes of the Chalet.
Get here and enjoy everything Northern Michigan has to offer!

A charming, clean, and cozy space. The chalet had everything you might need. Enjoyed the lake view and the fall color change. We were able to have a fire by the lake one night despite the rain. My family and I went for my birthday weekend to relax. The city elk park is also close by. Hosts were awesome!

Fun and peaceful getaway

Cabin was very cute and comfortable. The kids really took advantage of the water kayaking and paddle boating. Fish were plentiful but more successful using the paddleboat.

Great getaway!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was exactly as it was described. We loved the quiet and made a couple of great road trips to Petoskey and Traverse City. We were really looking for some peace and quiet in nature and that's exactly what we found! Thanks Dawn!

Perfect little cottage on the water

This cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It felt private even though there were other houses near by. It was a quiet neighborhood. The view of the fall colors and the lake off the back porch were beautiful!

Relaxing lake cabin!

Had a wonderful time! The beds are incredibly comfy, the kitchen is well equipped, the entire place is immaculately clean and well maintained, and the lake is beautiful! The wifi and smart tvs are perfect for streaming, the property feels private and secluded while being located in a charming little neighborhood perfect for going on runs or relaxing walks. Check in and out was a breeze, and communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. No complaints whatsoever, highly recommend!

PERFECT!

My husband and I enjoy taking a long weekend in the fall to see the colors. This cabin was perfect. It’s quaint and cozy and everything is just right. The bed is comfy. There’s plenty of pots and pans for cooking. The view of the lake is fabulous. Everything about the cabin was perfect! So very glad we found it!! Many thanks to the owners for keeping such a lovely place.

Christmas at the cabin

The cabin was very nice. It was difficult to keep the floors from getting so dirty because the area in front of the door was dirt sand. It would’ve been nicer to have more rocks there gravel so that you didn’t track so much sand and dirt in Dawn is a wonderful host. The lake is beautiful and in the summer I’m sure it’s delightful to spend time down at the lake. It was decorated beautifully, and the additional decorations for Christmas were very nice and very much appreciated.

Great place for a retreat on the lake

Our stay was perfect. No complaints, the place was clean with fresh towels and clean bedding. I was surprised at the lack of bugs and spider webs inside for being in the woods and on the lake. We enjoyed the paddle boat, fire pit and the wildlife on the lake. We even saw an eagle catch a fish. The internet and tv worked well and was necessary for us. We aren't golfers but still found plenty to do including the nature preserve minutes away and the elk park and restaurants in Gaylord. We also got to visit Oquecoc falls and the Little Oquecoc underground river which was about an hour away but well worth the drive. Otsego state park was a beautiful place to explore and go swimming as well. The chalet offered a relaxing place to stay with fun on the water and the ability to explore the northeastern lower peninsula.

Nuture, fishing, relaxing

From the moment we pulled into the driveway to walking down the walkway and going into the house all three of us we're going on and on about the unique layout and cozy atmosphere.We toured all through the chalet and checked everything out and still was just excited about seeing the uniqueness of it all! Cabin... meet Chalet and that equals COZYOH THAT LOFT and looking down.. Kinda like the UBER SOFT AND AWESOME beds.Head right out the back door you'll be on a AWESOME deck and what we loved, unlike a lot of lake houses, IT'S PRIVATE... and at night the lights are incredible!! Don't forget to turn them on before you head down. There as you walk the wide mowed path you'll meet Deck #2 with a cute table and four chairs and umbrella, if you choose.. and a just in front of you you'll see the four kayaks and paddleboat. We used the sit on kayaks and the paddleboat thru our 5 days. We fished off them and the docks and caught a ton of bass ( biggest one was over 3.4 lbs) and little perch and bluegill, all we did was catch and release.We played our own games and Star wars monopoly and cooked a lot inside and out; the large grill worked great. We ordered pizza from the restaurant 1.5 miles down.. yes, it's 30.00for a 12 inch but it's heavy and thick and amazing and totally worth it. If you need last minute anything, there's a Dollar General 1.5 miles away. Dawn was STELLAR at communication from the beginning. ( Thank you!) Our trip was in June average 70 degrees.
