Loved staying here!
Apple Maps couldn’t find this location but we figured it out!! The tv was broken during our stay which was a bummer but would definitely stay here again. So much space and loved the property. If you are getting married at ivory north this is a perfect place for your bridal party to stay the night before or after. Will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful home full of amenities
We loved our stay! Beautiful home right on the lake. It was so clean and the pantry was stocked. This is the first time I’ve stayed at a place offering amenities. It felt like home. The only set back is I wish they allowed for more guests than just 12. I’d love to rent this place for Christmas

Great stay for Ivory North wedding
This was the perfect stop for my large family to stay for my brother’s wedding at Ivory North. The place was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful location. Well stocked. Host was very responsive when contacted. We had guests ranging from age 1-65 and it fit everyone’s needs. 15 minutes from Ivory North. Our only regret was not booking the place for longer so we could enjoy the property more. Highly recommend.

Amazing!
We had a fantastic stay at this property! The host was incredibly helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. The highlight of our trip was definitely the pontoon boat – we had an blast exploring the lake and catching fish. Overall, our experience was top-notch, and we would definitely return for another visit. Highly recommend!

Fantasy Football Draft/Golf/Guys Weekend
We had a very nice stay at this house on Knife Lake. We are a group of 10 (8 came up this year) high school/grade school buddies that have a annual trip for our fantasy Football Draft and to play golf, participate in usual shenanigans and to just hang out. The house was very spacious and well appointed. The local golf course, Spring Brook is very inexpensive and really pretty nice. We did not use the pontoon but spent some evenings on the dock and fire pit area. Also spent a lot of time out on the decks and patio area. Several of us kayaked around the lake which is pretty decent in size, about 1100 acres. All were perfect. Heather is very responsive and everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

Perfect place to stay in the Mora area
We had a fantastic stay. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, we made great family memories. We took advantage of the games available on rainy days. The host was great with communication and hospitality!

Wedding weekend stay
My family stayed here over the weekend of my son’s wedding at Ivory North. We had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen was perfect for preparing meals for our guests. The beds were comfortable! We were able to use the kayaks multiple times throughout our stay which provided enjoyment and relaxation for everyone. Our only negative comment is that the lake water was quite green and mucky, so we were not comfortable swimming.

Amazing and wonderful
This property was so very perfect for our extended family group of 12. Spacious and beautifully appointed, there was room for all, and the main kitchen / family area provided everything we needed for all of our family meals. We only left the property a couple times in 4 days for a few essentials. We brought most of our food and there was ample storage space in the two fridges and walk-in pantry. The beach and dock provided for swimming and fishing fun for the kids, as well as the kayaks that were available. The fire pit was a lovely gathering place and the wood to use was right there for us. We also rented the boat and got to explore the lake over the days we were there. It was fun to see and hear the loons on the lake, and watch a resident eagle frequently soar overhead. Finally, the beds were all comfortable and everyone got good rest at the end of each day. We highly recommend this property and the hosts and plan to reserve again next year!

Annual Family Cabin Vacation
As a family of 12, we rent a cabin every year to gather and spend quality of time together. We were very pleased with the cabin; extremely clean and in order, abundance of essentials such as soap, towels, garbage bags, coffee, etc.., you can tell the owners have put a lot of thought into all the small details that made it comfortable and welcoming. The kids enjoyed the beach and grass area to play and the adults loved the kayaking, fires and the time to relax while the kids played. I would definitely recommend this cabin, I had absolutely no complaints or concerns during our stay. The short drive from the cities was a plus and the town offered everything we needed.

Ski Plans and A Birthday
This is a wonderful property! We originally booked for a place to stay for the Vasaloppet ski race and a 50th birthday celebration. Sadly, the race was canceled, but celebration continued. The place is very clean/new. The open floor plan is wonderful for gathering as a group. The kitchen was so well stocked with all basics. 2 sets of washers and dryers and 2 refrigerators makes it a great fit for a larger group. The hosts are very prompt at answering the questions we had. Our group is already looking forward to our next booking here!

We absolutely LOVED this VRBO property! The hosts were fantastic, the house was beautiful, and everything was just as advertised. Many essentials were provided, and our hosts were easily reachable if we had questions/concerns. If you're a family or larger group looking for a nice lake vacation home---this is it! We went as a family group of 8. We all had a great time, and all agreed we would book it again in the future. To our hosts? THANK YOU SO MUCH!
