Lake Louise Getaway is a perfect family vacation spot. We had teens, parents and grandparents on this trip and everyone loved this house. The lake location is perfect and the kayaks, paddle and rowboat are fantastic. 10/10!!

This place is a gem indeed. All appliances and amenities are up to date and the whole place is very easy to navigate inside and out. The bass fishing was superb too. Beach area is very cozy and the deck is a great place to relax, cook and enjoy a nice view. Plenty of privacy in the house with the basement providing extra haven to unwind. The pictures do not do this place justice as all of the furnishings are wonderful throughout with Alexa in every room for your listening pleasure as well. This place exceeded all of our expectations. Thanks Hans for providing this great place!

Lake Louise Getaway

We had a very nice time and found everything we needed was supplied, although the grill desperately needs an update.

I checked the grill upon seeing your review. All four burners lit and I made myself dinner. No renter prior to your stay had an issue with the grill. I wish you would have voiced your concern during your stay, as I have an extra grill available in the garage, which you had full access to. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

Fishing paradise in a quiet relaxing setting

The property was wonderful. My family enjoyed fishing on the lake and the host was accommodating on making sure i received my welcome packet. Place was clean and kitchen was well stocked with whatever you needed to cook for dinner.

Great Winter Weekend Getaway

Our family of ten with children ranging in ages of 6-21 had a wonderful weekend away. There was plenty to do inside the cabin for all ages from games to pool to family movie nights. All had a fun time sledding down the backyard.

Lovely getaway

The perfect spot for a peaceful, beautiful and fun filled getaway. We loved everything about this cottage. It sits on a picturesque lot right on the lake. Exactly as pictured and described. There’s so much to do inside and out. We would love to come back again and stay even longer.

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!

Perfect spot to relax and unwind, even in the winter. The host has several electric fireplace heaters throughout the home which adds to the cozy feeling. The kitchen has everything you could think of, and anything you might have forgotten. We would have been comfortable enough just with the upstairs…but the family room and game room downstairs were a wonderful bonus.

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.

Great Family Getaway

Enjoyed our time at the cabin. There was plenty to do for everyone and we never left the premises. All enjoyed swimming and using the many provided kayaks, canoe and paddle boats. When it rained, there was pool, darts, air hockey and cards to be played. The teenagers enjoyed watching videos at night in the basement while the young ones went to sleep upstairs. Relaxing week away from the stresses of everyday life.

Winter visitor exceeded expectations

Came away to enjoy the winter with young kids. After snowmobiling it was nice to come home to a peaceful, clean, cozy place. The kitchen has so much equipment you could cook up anything you would like. There are fireplace space heaters throughout which added to the cozy feel. The owner was honest and informative. Highly recommend!!

We had a great weekend at the LLG. The cottage is very nice and furnished with everything that anyone would need. The lake and area are very private and beautiful. We really enjoyed making a bonfire at sunset out near the lake and taking our dogs on long walks around the lake. Thank You very much for sharing such a wonderful place with us and our two dogs! We all loved it and will be back again soon! Jackie & Stan Cwiek

Our family just spent several great days at your home on Lake Louise. The house accommodated us grandparents, kids, and grandkids (of all ages), very well, and everything was supplied that we needed. The kayaks and other boats were a real bonus. We had great weather and spent a lot of time playing badminton in the yard! Thanks again!

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.

We chose the LLG to give our dog, Mike, a leash-less, water-filled vacation - likely his last (and first), due to inoperable cancer. Mike was able to run free as promised, and tirelessly swam after balls in the lake. Though it rained nearly our entire stay, it was a vacation we won't forget. [The mosquitoes could have stayed home, though..] David, Paula & Mike

Our family stayed at the LLG in mid-July. The weather was great and we had an excellent time. The cottage was very neat, well-kept and well-equipped. The owners have thought of everything. We enjoyed the kayaks, the rowboat the beach and the fire pit most of all. We had alot of fun fishing and caught two 17" large mouth bass a 28" pike and many bluegills. We released them all for someone else to catch. The cottage and lake were very peaceful and secluded. We are looking forward to a return trip next summer.
