The Cedar Lakehouse | On Beautiful Gilmore Lake w/ Dock, Kayaks, Firepit, AC

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.

Relaxing Week at the Cedar Lakehouse

The owner Eric was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. The house was very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for our week on the lake. We enjoyed the screened porch for meals and family games and the patio fire pit for s’mores. There were numerous eagles and loons on the lake which were fun to watch. It was a great property to get our dose of relaxing in the north woods this year.

Heaven on earth

We recently spent a week at the property. Myself and my two children (9 and 12) and a friend and her two children the same ages. The house is perfect. The adults each had their own room upstairs and the kids stayed downstairs. The sleep sofa is a high-end American Leather sleep and incredibly comfortable as were all the beds. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you need. We used the kayaks and the paddle boat a ton and the kids swam off the dock. They had a blast searching for frogs and running around on the property. The house is in perfect shape and the property is peaceful and beautiful. While the pictures are great, this place is better than the pictures. Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful before and throughout. We hope to return, as the title said, this place is heaven on earth. We fell in love with the Northwoods and can't wait to return!

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.

February fun

We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the area. Even though there was no snow and chose not to go ice fishing, there were plenty of outdoor activities including hiking, hanging out in town, and even having a couple outdoor bonfires. The Cedar Lakehouse provided very cozy evenings to relax around the fireplace. It was a great time and look forward to booking with the family again.

Great start to summer

The house is really nice. The kitchen is amazing especially if you like to cook. We loved the fire pit area and grilled our food over the campfire. Our weather wasn’t great but we enjoyed the big screen tv and many games available. The lake is beautiful and we were delighted to see so much wildlife. The guys had good luck fishing from the pier and we spent many hours kayaking. Erik the owner was terrific to work with. Great value for any age group.

Summer vacation

The home is beautiful! Very well laid out, nice bedrooms and bathrooms . Close to St Germain and Minocqua. Enjoyed our stay. Owner very easy to contact. We just wished kayaks were easier to access but do understand that they have to be on a rack under the screened in porch , but for us to use was hard because they are heavy to move. The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood and the lake is not busy . Fishing good , also . The views from the big picture window of the lake were outstanding . Pier nice for fishing although we rented a pontoon and there is a nice public landing for guests to use and easy to access. All in all very nice !!! Thank you Eric for sharing your home.

Our experience was absolutely perfect. Communication with the owner was top notch. Cabin instructions were easy. House was furnished with everything you could need or want. Very comfortable lodging. Close to quite a few attractions, but in a fairly secluded area. Can't wait to go back! We would highly recommend to anyone.
