The cabin is so beautiful and welcoming, it feels like home. Love the game room, the kayak, the canoe, the paddle board, the beds, lounge chairs, the grill and the kitchen! Everything was high quality and well maintained. Great place for a family to make some fun memories.
We loved staying at this cabin! It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The king bed was very comfortable with wonderful bedding. The showers had great water pressure and plenty of heat. The kitchen had all we needed. We spent most of our time outside in the water! The low slope yard to the water and the beach front was wonderful for our family. This is hard to find on the lake and very much appreciated to be able to wade in the water. The host was very responsive and answered all our questions. We will be back!!
The hosts are excellent and checked in on us, which was a nice touch. Beautiful cabin and they have everything that you would ever need. Lake Gilmore, as always, is the best lake for whatever you may be into, from fishing to tubing or just a quite evening on the dock. We saw four fawns running around the cabin everyday during our stay, plus Loons, and Eagles.
