Description Description
THE CEDAR LAKEHOUSE: We invite you to The Cedar Lakehouse on beautiful Gilmore Lake. Northern Wisconsin conjures up great moments and memories for many of us. An abundance of pristine lakes, pine forests, and great fishing creates the perfect family vacation destination. This home offers 4 kayaks, pedal boat, dock, firepit, fireplace, three-seasons porch, with a public boat launch nearby.

BED CONFIGUATION:

Main Level Bedroom #1 - King Bed

Main Level Bedroom #2 - Queen Bed

Lower-Level Bedroom #3 - Two Twin Beds

Watch a lakeside sunset from the dock. Enjoy an evening campfire around our rock-encircled fire pit. Cruise or kayak the 300-acre lake, just steps from the back porch.

Experience all of this on a Northwoods lake in a Northwoods cabin with all the amenities and ambiance to make your memories come alive. Built in 2010, The Cedar Lakehouse combines modern amenities with a rustic cabin feel. The feeling arrives the minute you drive up to The Cedar Lakehouse, wrapped in cedar inside and out.

Relax in the living room, finished with cedar wood walls, lofted ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake. Gather around the fireplace on plush, leather furniture. Cook the day's catch in a fully equipped kitchen with lighted counter space, ample cabinet space, and Duo Oven. Or grill that steak on our gas-fired charcoal Weber grill. The cabin features three bedrooms with pinewood ceilings with classic ceiling fans, three spacious bathrooms, walkout family room with comfy pullout couch, and a screened porch overlooking the lake.

Enjoy the pleasures of a north-woods lake from “the dock,” the center of family fun; where people gather to fish, swim, watch the loons, or launch the boat (a new aluminum dock was installed in the spring of 2019). At 314 acres and 24 feet at its deepest, Gilmore Lake is noted for its great fishing. Fish species include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. Accessible from a public boat landing on County Road E, the lake provides plenty of room for recreational boating and paddling.

Explore the greater Northern Wisconsin's “Lake Country” within minutes of the cabin. The Cedar Lakehouse is centrally located to the attractions and communities that define being “up north.” You will find shopping, dining, and attractions in Minocqua, 18 minutes away; and St. Germain, just 12 minutes down the road. And Lake Tomahawk has a popular meat market to prepare for that evening meal on the lake.

Experience all the seasons on Gilmore Lake. Winter at the Lakehouse offers snowshoeing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling – the state trail goes right by Gilmore Lake – and a good book in front of the fireplace. Spring brings the retreat of ice and the beginning of fun on the lake. Celebrate summer with swimming and boating on the water and summer evenings on the porch. And fall ushers in the spectacular autumn colors. Note: We always thought that northern Wisconsin missed the color season because of all those pine trees. Wrong. Fall colors on Gilmore Lake rival anyplace in Wisconsin. The fluorescent yellow of poplar and birch trees set the landscape aglow.

The cabin and lake combine perfectly for makin' memories with family and friends. All we need now is you, at The Cedar Lakehouse.

Great stay!!
Great house, very comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. Firepit was perfect and wood was available just down the road. Neighbors were also friendly and loved the visiting dog in the back yard!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the house had everything you needed and that you enjoyed the firepit and friendly neighborhood. Happy to hear your visiting pup felt welcome too! We’d love to host you again.

Perfect Girls trip
We scheduled a trip among old friends and it was lovely. Plenty of room to spread out and relax while chatting with great views and a comfortable environment. The kitchen had everything we needed, but we also enjoyed hitting a couple of restaurants and supper clubs within an easy drive.

We did manage to lock ourselves out (through no fault of the property owner or management) when we went down to the lake, but Shane was very helpful with that, as well as organizing the return of a left behind item.

Overall a delightful experience!

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad the home was a comfortable and scenic spot for your gathering, and that you enjoyed both relaxing in and exploring the area. We’re especially happy Shane could help make things right quickly—you're welcome back anytime! -Erika

Amazing Lake House!
Our family of four plus two grandparents had a great time at this house! The house is very clean with absolutely everything you could possibly need - fully stocked kitchen, soft towels, comfortable beds with lots of extra blankets, extra phone chargers, night lights, Aveda toiletries, games, fire starting supplies, extra batteries, space heater, etc... you name it, they have it. The house was spacious and the view from the fire pit at night was beautiful. We brought a fishing boat and enjoyed fishing on Gilmore Lake, catching perch, bluegills, and northern pikes. We caught a lot of panfish right from the dock too. The host, Shane, was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your whole family — including the grandparents — had such a great time. It’s fantastic to know the house had everything you needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and that the extra touches like night lights, Aveda toiletries, and games helped make it feel like home. The fishing adventures on Gilmore Lake sound amazing — we’re so glad you were able to take full advantage of the location and catch a variety of fish, even right from the dock! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Shane — he’ll really appreciate the shout-out. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing and fun-filled stay!v
