Great lake front property! Beds super comfortable, even twins in loft area, and shower head pressure was best I’ve found almost anywhere! Thanks for the family weekend memories!

We stayed here while working in Woodville for a week and it was the perfect location to kick back and relax and enjoy the scenery after a long day. The house was great, and you can't beat the view on the deck while grilling and relaxing.

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.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and are very sorry to hear it was cold outside in January. We usually recommend guests don’t bring the bedding outside. Please let us know if you would ever like to come back!
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.

We booked this h9me for a HS graduation family celebration. Very spacious living, kitchen, dining & deck areas. Bedrooms were spacious & beds super comfortable. Our family totally enjoyed our time & will return again. Highly Recommend this VRBO 100%. Will ( host) was very responsive, friendly & helpful.
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.

Beautiful deck and view of the lake with a firepit and comfortable outdoor furniture. Nice dock for fishing. Comfortable bed and big couch for Netflix and chill!
We just needed a place to stay close to family. However, when we arrived at the property we were disappointed we couldn't stay longer.
The house has a great layout and is super inviting. The view of the lake, the deck and all the other amenities were outstanding.
I would definitely recommend this property!
Quiet, relaxing, clean, and plenty to do. Easy communication. Great porch for hanging out or drinking coffee with a beautiful view of the lake. Fully furnished and with the extras like games, kayaks, paddleboard, life jackets…

About the host
Hosted by Will Chesney
I am a retired Navy veteran who purchased the lake house after being medically retired to spend more time with family on a beautiful lake. We have currently purchased an RV and are traveling the country and want people to enjoy our beautiful lake house. We have had some amazing times at the lake and would love to share the same experiences with other people!
Why they chose this property
It is the perfect getaway for anyone traveling through, having a vacation with the family or just wanting some quiet time away from the city. Especially if you love relaxing on the back deck by the water or fishing.
What makes this property unique
The back porch and the amazing view of the water is definitely the highlight of the property. Perfect for spending some alone time reading or family gatherings with a BBQ pit you can use. Don't let this take away from the large, open and very comfy inside of the house. If there is a rainy day, no worries we have you covered with video games, dart board, puzzles and plenty of board games. There is also a large television in the living room with Apple TV and multiple streaming services but with all of the other activities you might not need it! High speed Wifi is also available if you need to get any work done.
If you want to fish there will be multiple poles you can use along with a couple of kayaks and a paddle board. Fishing right off of the dock is always fun as well, where there's a table and chairs for relaxing or dinner right on the water.
We will be adding unique items people may enjoy looking at from my time in the military and my military working dog Cairo.
