Great house for the summer

The house was great for my family although we didn't realize the porch beds would be so cold. This would be a fantastic property in the summer.

Thanksgiving Family Getaway

This was a very clean property that delivered everything that was promised. It was a very peaceful, relaxing location and the accommodations were well-appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed fishing off the pier…caught and released quite a few bass. We liked it so much that we’re thinking about coming back this summer.

Wonderful place to Stay

This lake place was just what we needed to relax. It is located on a beautiful private lake which made the stay even better. Our host took care of all the needs we might have had. We are so glad we came and would like to return.

Above & Beyond!

We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay! The kids had a blast out on the water and didn’t want to come in each evening! Will, the host, went above and beyond to accommodate us as we had my MIL with us who has Alzheimer's We will be back sooner than later for sure!

Excellent Holiday

Relaxing and very clean

Neat and very clean. This is one of the best stocked homes we’ve ever rented. Plenty of paper goods, cooking utensils and soaps and laundry products. The back porch was our favorite place to sit and enjoy the great weather we had while there. Nice clean fishing dock. And very dog friendly. Great WiFi

Perfect Getaway

The Lake House was the perfect Spring Break getaway for our family of four and our dog. The house itself was well maintained, clean, and comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was provided. The owners were excellent about communicating when we had questions. The views of the lake are amazing! It was so peaceful sitting on the covered patio watching the sun rise and set. We had fun kayaking around the lake, fishing, and playing games. We will definitely be back again!

Best little getaway

We had an absolutely wonderful time. We brought our two dogs who also had a great time. We all got to relax on the lake and enjoy absolute Peacefulness. The dock was great for the kids and the dogs, to jump off of. In fact even the homeowners had dog life Jackets available . There was plenty a room for everybody to Rome. The house was very comfortable. We will definitely be back. This is one of the best little weekend escapes. I definitely will be recommending this little gem!

Taylors Ivanhoe 2023 Visit

This was our second stay with Will at Virgil's place. There is something so peaceful and serene about this place, we all did not want to leave. I thank Will for sharing this place with us all. I had a chance to recharge my batteries some just enjoying the views, Kayaking, swimming/floating, perch fishing, family games and exploring the area on our golf cart. The place has everything you need to chill, relax, be comfortable and entertained if that's what you need.. We want to come back in the fall or winter if time permits and also definitely next summer. Thanks!

Amazing Lake Cabin

We are so happy we found this stunning property to stay at with family over Spring Break! This Lake Cabin has all the comforts of home and an amazing deck that overlooks the beautiful lake! This was a favorite hangout spot for the family and our dogs. Hubby and the boys loved getting up in the morning and going to the dock in the backyard for fishing. Lots of rest and relaxation enjoying the outdoors of the cabin and strolling around the neighborhood. The inside of the house is very cute and had everything we needed for our stay. The home was immaculate when we arrived and had a kitchen stocked up very nicely with cookware, great space for cooking and a BBQ area on the deck. We also had the opportunity to meet the owners and they were the nicest people!

Wonderful waterfront house!

We had a great stay at this house. We’ve been coming to Ivanhoe since we were kids, so we were very excited to return and stay ON the lake! Great house, deck and pier! Kayaks and plenty of floats for some relaxing fun in the water.

Amazing getaway

Just what the family needed. Beautiful house that is full stocked with everything you would need. Beds are super comfy and cold A/C and hot water. The best part is sitting out on the deck and enjoying the lake view. I’m any activities for the kids to do as well. Will definitely be back.
