All 11 of us had a fabulous time at Joan and Ken’s property on Gilbert Lake. Overall, the cabin was roomy and comfortable for all. The kitchen had any and all utensils necessary for all the meals we prepared. The kids enjoyed the ping pong and foosball down in the basement and they especially enjoyed jumping off the dock and paddling around in the paddle boats. We all enjoyed s’mores at the fireplace after catching too many fish to count on Gilbert Lake.

Lots of room, well kept, quality furniture, appliances and washer and dryer. Besides great bass fishing, the ping pong table is a big hit with our family!!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2015
This is a nice cabin with great fishing right off the dock. There is no real swim beach, just a small section of sandy shore. We enjoyed the screened porch room, outside fireplace and patio, and back deck overlooking the beautiful lawn and trees. The cabin sits on a clear, small lake with loons and gorgeous sunsets! This rental is not equipped at all for small children under age 4 but it is perfect for adults and older children. There are not enough life preservers provided for the canoe and paddle boat available. The cabin was short on silverware for our group of 10. When we notified Joan, she did bring some additional silverware for us. We were traveling from out of state and communication with the owners was difficult and frustrating as to arrival directions, furnishings available in the cabin, and eventual return of our damage deposit, which took three weeks longer than the contract stated.
