Important note for the colder months before you book:
The Ivy Lodge is an iconic lakefront property built in the late 1800`s so there is no furnace in the house because of the age of the home. However, we have a large gas unit in the kitchen, a gas unit on the wall of the first floor. We also have an electric wall unit on the lower level, and an electric wall unit on the 1st floor. We also have space heaters for rooms.
Guest have access to the whole house.
The Ivy Lodge is an iconic lake front property built in the late 1800`s. We do our absolute best to maintain a clean bug free experience, and there is an exterminator appointment every 2nd day of the month at 10am. However, some bugs will be around due to the location right on the lake.
Minimum age to book is 25
* Note, this property also has an additional 30 five-star reviews beyond what you see on the listing from the previous property owner, from guests who stayed here in the past that didn`t transfer over with new management.
