Enjoy your Getaway at the Peaceful Lakefront Chalet!

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 horseshoe pit, 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 located with in minutes. Get here and enjoy everything Northern Michigan has to offer!

Best vacation for relaxation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake Chalet in Johannesburg, and will definitely be returning! The chalet was comfortable, extremely clean, and the hosts were very responsive. We felt at home and had the most relaxing time! Thanks!

Elk hunt

Worked out great for us as my elk hunt was maybe 3 miles away. The cabin was very accommodating for the 4 of us.Tv didn't have any local news or regular networks and when streaming the Lions football game we would loose it frequently.

Another nice stay at the jo-burg cabin

This was our 3rd stay at this cabin. My family enjoyed walking the neighborhood, kayaking around the lake, catching fish on the dock, playing at the school park in jo-burg, and all our day trips around up north.

Cozy family cabin for a great getaway

Our family of 5 spent 5 night here over New Years and had the best time. The cabin was well stocked for all essentials of living away from home. We loved the solitude of the location and had a magical snowfall on NYE that made for great fun on NYD by building and igloo and sledding down the driveway. We also had a couple of days of skiing at Treetops and Boyne Mountain. Would definitely stay again!

Great Getaway!

This is a real quiet and relaxing place for a trip to the Gaylord area. It is very clean, comfortable and has multiple decks to enjoy the great outdoors. The use of the paddle boat and kayaks to enjoy the lake was a real plus! Only 15 minutes outside of Gaylord it is close to town conveniences but secluded enough for a peaceful getaway. We will visit this chalet again!

Beautiful & CLEAN Chalet!

Dawn, the host of property went above to make sure we had everything we needed for a successful family New Year's vacation! The chalet was very clean upon arrival & tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with every utensil needed to cook a meal. 10 OUT OF 10!
