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.

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!

Great getaway! Well equipped with everything we needed from pots and pans to towels to kayaks!
Our group of 2 families (4 adult parents, one 20 something and 3 late teens) had an incredible long weekend at Virgil’s Place. Great communication, easy check in and super easy checkout. The house is very comfortable, with plenty of room for our two families to come together or find quiet space. The deck is fantastic, with comfy furniture, tiki torches and a grill. We spent a lot of our time sitting there watching the lake when we weren’t in the water or fishing. We look forward to a return visit! Thanks so much for hosting us!

The house and property are just as wonderful as the pictures show. There are tons of activities if you are so inclined or you can just float around on the lake. This was the first vacation where I was completely relaxed and recharged.

Great and Relaxing Stay
We had such A wonderful time at this beautiful lakehouse. Will, the host is very easy to work with and is very quick to respond with questions. The view is incredible and the house is warm and inviting. They even had a bottle of wine waiting for us! The beds were super comfy and we all slept great! My husband and daughter caught quite a few fish off the lower deck and we enjoyed coffee and relaxation on the deck overlooking the lake. The area is extremely quiet and calm. It’s beautiful inside and out. Thanks so much for an incredible stay!

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!
