My family with 3 children 10 -13yrs old were lucky enough to be the first renters of this fantastic property on Lake Ivanhoe! Irene and her husband were wonderful hosts! They were very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. We spent the 4th of July week here. There were spectacular fireworks nearby on the 4th and also on the lake several times.(beautiful to see from the spacious deck!) Days were spent enjoying morning coffee outside, lots of swimming, fishing, boating, and playing outside games. Evenings were spent grilling steaks, burgers and dogs, eating outside while enjoying the sound (like no other) of the loons calling each other home for the night. The lawn and beach are well maintained and i think one of the nicest looking on the whole lake.While sometimes it is hard to find rentals that supply boating of any kind, here there are several kayaks and a large paddleboat which everyone enjoyed! There were plenty of comfy large beds for everyone (linens and towels provided which is another thing some rentals don"t supply) Who wants to fill half of their vehicle with bedstuff and bathtowels? The house smelled fresh, very clean and well maintained. Views of the lake are amazing to see with big windows everywhere! Kitchen is brand new and fully stocked. So much to do in the area. I could go on forever and still not convey how great it really is! Irene thank you for all the thoughtful touches that made our vac exceptional! Hope to visit again!
