Property was clean and well maintained, fully stocked with supplies and toiletries. Kitchen is also well stocked with dishes and cookware. The house is beautiful and comfortable with a great view of the lake. The area is quiet and rustic, giving a great feel of the Northwoods. We enjoyed sitting in the screened-in porch listening to the loons and other wildlife. St. Germain and Minoqua are both an easy 10 - 15 minute drive away. Shane, our host, was easy to reach and very nice. We had a wonderful Fall vacation on Gilmore Lake.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the home, beautiful lake views, and peaceful Northwoods setting. It sounds like the screened-in porch was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the loons and wildlife. We're happy to hear you had a wonderful fall getaway on Gilmore Lake and appreciated Shane's hospitality. We hope to welcome you back again!

This was our third stay in this lake house. It is very clean and as described in the listing. The fire pit is spacious and allows a view of the lake. Perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee. Great ATV trails. Minocqua and St. Germain are convenient with great shopping and restaurants. The host is pleasant and quickly responsive.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the place and had a great experience overall. We're sorry the fishing didn’t meet your expectations—conditions can vary with the seasons, weather, and other natural factors, and we understand how disappointing that can be. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and hope you'll visit again—whether it's for the scenery, the peace and quiet, or maybe even to give the fishing another shot under different conditions!

The cabin was perfect for our family. The location is great; just a short drive to several cities. We loved sitting down on the dock and watching the loons. Our granddaughter had a blast catching fish.

Patty, thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. Much appreciated! Yes, I love listening to the loons late at night. Their call is haunting, and it always makes sitting around the campfire that much more enjoyable. My grandkids enjoy fishing off the dock too. Lots of great pictures of their "catch of the day!" Thanks again for staying with us. See you next year! Eric
