Boat-In Outposts Cottages

Boat In Outpost Cottage – Ivanhoe River – 8, 14, and 22 miles by water to reach these cottages…

We have three boat-in cottages for you to choose from. Guests leave Ivanhoe River Inn on Ivanhoe Lake and boat-in to their cabin. The river is very slow moving and locating your cabin is very easy. All offer great fishing for walleye, northern pike, and jumbo perch. Your package starts Friday 3 PM and ends Friday 10 AM

You will be arriving to a nice clean cottage, therefore you will be responsible to leave it as a nice clean cottage.

The cabins are equipped for full housekeeping including propane refrigerator and freezer (apartment sized), propane 4 burner stove and oven, propane lights, all dishes, pots, pans, pillows, mattresses, and corner sheets. All cabins have a wood-heating stove. The river cottages are all setup with a full electrical system with a solar / battery / inverter system as well as a small backup generator. Moreover, the camps are all wired for electric lights as well as electric outlets – regular 110 volt systems like your used to at home (at least in North America).

Guest Needs: food, sleeping bag/ top bedding, life preserver, axe or small saw, garbage bags, fishing / hunting license (which we sell), first aid kit, and all fishing tackle and personal gear. We recommend that you bring a Coleman or propane lantern with fuel.

AS A RESULT, GUESTS WOULD NEED TO EITHER RENT OR BRING BOATS / MOTORS TO ACCESS THESE RIVER COTTAGES. THE IVANHOE RIVER IS EXCELLENT FISHING FROM MID MAY TO MID OCTOBER.

PLEASE ALSO READ OUR FULL BROCHURE AND PG 10 FOR THE BOAT IN CAMPS.
