Monthly Rentals in Ivanhoe

We were so pleased with the peace and quiet that surrounded this adorable cottage. We were met by two deer that bounced off into the woods beside the cottage. Everything was very clean. The beds were heavenly!! The most unexpected treat was watching the sunset sitting on the front porch each night. We will be back!! Thank you James!!

Clean and comfortable little cabin in absolutely gorgeous surroundings! Very close to great walks. My wife and I walked along the Fries to Fries Junction section of the New River State Park trail, a gentle stroll of around 11 miles there and back. I had a more strenuous hike along the Iron Mountain Trail/Bourne Branch loop in the National Forest. The trailhead is about a mile further along Arrowhead Drive. I later discovered that the ridge trail at the back of the cabin extends beyond what's indicated on the map, and actually connects to the Iron Mountain Trail, so you don't need to get the trailhead. I'll definitely remember this for next time. The birdlife was amazing! The rose-breasted Grosbeak outdoing Paul McCartney's blackbird, and the Whippoorwills hauntingly serenading us at night. Wonderful wildflowers as well. Getting up the driveway in our VW Tiguan was fun - it just needed a bit of a running start to get up the first steep part, and then we just bounced along!

This is a quaint converted farm house; from early century I'm guessing. The decor is nostalgic and the building is authentic. If you're looking to get away to a quiet area with all the little necessities of travel, this is a great place. You're only a few miles off the highway and there are no commercial enterprises nearby. It's very quiet and peaceful. It is adjacent to an old run down school house so the back view is not great but the spaciousness and grounds are very accommodating. The rooms and kitchen were all very well equipped and they provided the biggest basket I've ever seen of "things you may have forgotten" for travelers to use as needed.

We absolutely loved this little cabin in the woods. Beautiful and peaceful stay for us and our fur family
