Lake Ivanhoe cottage
Location is very good, right on the water. Pictures are accurate, 3 bed, 1 bath house. Mix of old and newer or redone. House appeared clean when we arrived, but definitely needed more attention. Hair in fridge, food splatter on wall behind stove and on the side of fridge next to stove. Dried urine under toilet seat. There was also duck tape on the screen door, and a broken chair on the deck. Good price for two of us who were essential out all day, but needs TLC!

Things I wish I had known before going...
This house is at an amazing location right on the lake but with two little kids there are a few things I wish I had known before going 1. There were no outlet covers in the bunkbed room which left the outlets and wires exposed. My husband is an electrician and took covers from other rooms and put them in bunkbed room so we could ensure that our kiddos were safe. In the queen bedroom there is a tapestry covering a huge hole in the wall that has exposed pink insulation. 2. The railings on the outside porch are rotting so we had to make sure the kids would stay away from them as some parts were already missing and we didn't want them to lean against them and break. The porch screen door was also duck taped in several spots which wasn't very comforting with kids. 3. There was 6 of us for the week and found that there wasn't enough folks to accommodate all of us. We also ran out of dish soap, hand soap and the laundry detergent bottle was empty. 4. The host did say the property was cleaned before we got there but the floors were filthy and were clearly not touched. We tried to vacuum a few times but the vacuum was missing wheels and was blowing out the sand instead of sucking it up. We found it a little odd that we were required to clean our own sheets when they have a cleaning service supposedly come after leaving. location amazing but I wouldn't go back with all the safety hazards especially with young kids.

Beautiful Lakeside Property
Enjoyed time with the family on the lake. Amazing views, great swimming and kayaking and a clean quiet home. Definately got to relax and watch the kids enjoy the end of their summer break. The host was kind enough to reach out and tell us that we did not need to rush on our departure day which was helpful to us as a family of five with a baby. Would reccomend checking if the dock mentioned in the listing will actually be out in the water when you stay. Plan to bring some kitchen items for saving food (tupperware, plastic wrap/plastic sandwich bags, etc) and trash bags if you need them Also, plan to bring your own towels and blankets.

Nice quiet area, not very private.
The view of the lake was nice. The beach area to get into the water had steps into the water, which was nice. One of the next-door neighbors must have been gone during our stay But the others were home. Random mother daughter showed up to get into the water right near where we were staying and then they walked off down the road so they were not staying next-door. I didn’t like that we had to bring blankets and towels. As we walked in our socks throughout the house, we had random bunches of hair got stuck to our feet so it wasn’t clean. Shower was not clean. Tried to communicate with the host several times because there was no hot water in the shower, no response at all. Needless to say, I was dying to go home just to take a shower. Property itself is nice and cabin is comfortable. I don’t think I would stay again.

Amazing long weekend
The lake house is great! Neighbors were so kind and welcoming. (Not super private if that is what you are looking for). Views of the lake while laying in bed. Sandy beach with steps into the crystal clear water. Soft sandy bottom for quite a way out. Kayaks, floats, lounge chairs all provided. We had to reach out to Layce one time but she was so responsive! We would absolutely rent here again!

Our six night seven day stay, was very enjoyable. The lake was beautiful had Some gorgeous sunsets. The house was well appointed with pots and pans grill. our only criticism would be. A little bit of where in tear on the property. The awning on the deck was broken a cabinet door in the kitchen was hanging on by one hinge. The water pressure in the bathroom was a little lackluster. But with that would not keep me from recommending this to family or friends.

Wonderful time away
Staying right on the lake was such a peaceful experience if you’re looking to get away and just relax. It was a quiet lake. Not a lot of boat noise. Very close to neighbors, but the closer one wasn’t there except for the weekend, and both sides were respectful. Not a deal breaker, just good to know if you’re someone who enjoys privacy. We had a blast. Most things people had suggested in reviews were addressed by the owner, who was a pleasure to deal with. You have everything you need to have a wonderful time. Water toys (2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards were the favorites), AC, games, wood sold down the road for $5 a bundle, crystal clear water, grocery store not too far away, and the house was beautiful. Loved every minute. Hope to come back someday.

Cozy and Quaint Lake Ivanhoe
An incredible house right in front of a crystal clear pond. Kayak, SUP, and floats helped us explore the water even on cloudy days. The lake was relatively quiet for a holiday week - not a lot of motor boat traffic. There’s not much shade around the cabin in the afternoon and with a couple of days in the high 80’s, it got quite toasty inside, which was a challenge for our napping toddler, however it cooled down at night. The loons were fun to watch and several neighbors had impressive fireworks display on the 4th! Layce, our host was super accommodating and quick to respond when we reached out. Overall a peaceful and charming location. Absolutely recommend!

Summer Family Vacation
The beach and shallow lake was perfect for our young children to swim and play, and we enjoyed the week relaxing by the water and using the water toys. That being said the cabin could use a thorough cleaning: the stove wasn't clean, and the oven was filthy, wouldn't use. The bathroom toilet paper holder was broken, and the bathroom paper shade needs to be replaced with an operable shade. Bathroom needs a good cleaning/update. We didn't realize until the last night there was a glass window behind the quilt in the bunkbed room which is definitely a safety issue for young kids.

Incredible and unforgettable stay!
Won't ever forget this stay as I proposed to my now wife on the beachfront here. :) The neighbors are AMAZING and the lake is flawless. My wife and I kayaked using the neighbors kayak (very kind to share) all around the lake. Would be very nice jf the property had one for us to use! Paddleboards were broken, but luckily neighbors provided those for us as well. Also, it would be nice if the property stored some logs for the firepit. We had to buy them separately (again, from the kind neighbors, that has a honor system box you put $5 into in exchange for logs). The pros: Very comfortable bed, unforgettable view of the gorgeous lake right when you get up, the LAKE and views, being able to have breakfast on the deck right on the lake. Relaxing on the super comfortable beach chairs in the sun. Watching the stars at night. Great TV to cuddle up on couch and watch Netflix with popcorn after a day of hiking at gorgeous trails nearby (highly recommend seeing Diana's falls, Mount Washington/The Cog, etc). Wow. Whole experience literally perfect. The cons: The water smells very metallic (bring a brita filter if you wanna use it to cook), the heat was very complicated to work (it was cold one of our nights), the lights are wired very weirdly so you'll have to scavenge for which switch works for which light, the pots/pans are VERY scratched up and I would highly recommend the owners to buy new ones. Overall we loved the property, and the minor inconveniences didn't lessen our enjoyment. But we do recommend the owners to take note of our feedback to make some improvements! :)
