Large Lake Gilmore Cabin

Our family of eleven which included grandparents , married children, grandchildren and one dog spent a week on beautiful Lake Gilmore in this very nice cabin. The cabin itself was set up perfectly for our family with four bedrooms and four bathrooms and easily provided enough space. The dining area was just big enough for every one to squeeze around the table for meals. The kitchen was recently remodeled with a large center island which helped with all the meals that were prepared during the week. The deck was very spacious and had the built in hot tub which was a hit with the grandchildren. We brought our own boat but did use the provided pontoon boat and the kayaks. We mostly spent time on the lake fishing, water skiing, tubing and swimming. The cabin is only about 25 to 30 miles from Hayward which provided a fun day trip. Also, close to Hayward are some very nice mountain bike trails. The owners were very easy to work with and we got the sense that they really did want us to have a good time on our vacation. The only negative was the cleaning of the cabin. There was a group at the cabin just prior to our family and maybe there was not enough time to do a thorough cleaning. We had to do a few other things on our own such as buy a refill for the propane tank on the grill because it was empty. We considered these as minor issues and had a great time spending a week at this rental property. We would recommend this property to others.

This property is in wonderful condition and very very clean. The beach was sandy as pictured and the fishing was great! A big plus was the rental included a pontoon boat which we used every day for fishing as my son brought his spead boat for water skiing, tubing, boarding, etc. The lake is great for swimming as well. It was great to have two laundry rooms, two kitchens when you have a group of 15. It would have been nice to have had a great room in the basement so everyone could have been together but we managed on the back deck. However, the sun hits it in the afternoon and it gets pretty warm. The owners are wonderful to deal with and answered any questions we had along the way. We all enjoyed the hot tub which was another plus. I would highly recommend this property. Hopefully the owners will replace the outside furniture on the back deck as that did need some work. They did have lots of chairs in the basement we could use around the fire pit in the back yard and wood was plentiful. We brought a chain saw along to assist us in cutting wood for the fire which we certainly used. We took several trips into Hayward which was 30 miles away for canoeing and river tubing. Lots to do around the area.
