Welcome to the Gilmore Lake Getaway!

Enjoy this relaxing, classic, northern getaway on Lake Gilmore. Embrace the outdoors as you grill and spend time on the deck, swimming and jumping off the dock, and then finish the night cozied up to a bonfire or the indoor fireplace. This is an especially quiet lake as there is no public access. Located just 8 miles north of famous Dorset and 7 miles from Nevis. Local towns offer a large variety of dinning to include La Pasta, Compeñeros, Zorbaz, and the Iron Horse.

The Gilmore Getaway offers a beautiful walk-down stairway to the dock and lake. Clear water and sandy bottom, along with incredible bass fishing right from the dock!

Both cabin bedrooms feature a queen size bed (bedding and linens provided), dresser, and bedside lamp with device charging stations. One bedroom has an available closet while the other bedroom’s closet hold the washing machine.
A full bath offers both a shower or bathtub with towels, face cloths, and a few essentials provided.
Kitchen is fully stocked with essential cooking items, toaster, and coffee pot. The Living room hosts a smart TV, DVD player, and an array of movies, games, and puzzles.
Additional space can be found in the *seasonal* bunkhouse, featuring 2 bedrooms, one room having a full size and bed and the other having two twin beds.

The cabin is located centrally between Dorset and Nevis, both towns offering a variety of restaurants, adult beverages, and treats! A short drive to Park Rapids or Walker for groceries and essential items in addition to more restaurants, breweries, and tons of shopping! Other sites and attractions include the Itasca State Park, The Heartland Trail, Evergreen Fun Park, and Summerhill Farm.

Great experience!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Gilmore Getaway! It was very much the lake cabin experience that we were looking for. There were a great number of shops and dining options within a short drive. The host was very responsive to a minor issue, communication was excellent. The fishing from the dock was excellent as were the provided outdoor games and water “toys”. Would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful MN Lakeshore Heaven
This charming cabin had everything we needed for a Labor Day getaway. The peace and calm of lake enhanced the beauty. The paddle boat was a way to get out on the lake and say we did cardio. Jenn is a great host - the property had all the amenities we needed to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Thank you

We were working in the area and need a space for respite!
It was very nice and welcoming! She even went out and bought me coffee, because I inquired about what type of machine they had! So sweet!

This was a very nice place to stay. It was clean. The area was peaceful. Nice
I would definitely rent this again. The place was clean and very nice inside and out. The bedrooms were perfect size. It is peaceful and nice to sit outside and enjoy the lake view. Sit by a fire and relax. Many amenities, for the lake there were water floats and other thing such as fishing gear. Yard games as well. It was just so perfect.

Beautiful, relaxing weekend
Our family of five had a fantastic long weekend at this cabin on the lake—probably the best out-of-town weekend ever! The kids played in the water with the owner’s paddle boards and floaties from morning until night. The kitchen was easy to store our supplies and easy to find everything we needed for meals. The bunk house was amazing for the teens, and there was enough room for everyone to watch a little tv in the evening. It’s also an easy 30 minute drive to Itasca State Park (our kids’ favorite place). We have already talked about booking another trip here next year. Thanks Jenn, for answering all of our questions quickly—you were an awesome host!
