AIR IVANHOE LIMITED
INFORMATION PACKAGE FOR
THE “IVANHOE RIVER INN” DAILY GUESTS
REVISED April 3, 2011
PACKAGE
INFORMATION & EXAMPLE PRICING: We operate the Ivanhoe River Inn on a
Daily rental or in a housekeeping package. All rentals start at 2PM on day of
arrival and end at 10AM on day of departure. We expect parties to work with
this schedule unless other arrangements have been made. We need this time
to clean cabins/boats etc. Children’s rates are posted under the general
information guide.
We
offer on our current 2011 Brochure a 5 Day Package which includes the
accommodations, and a Boat/Motor and all Fuel for the 5 days. We can add or
subtract days and give you pricing.
As an
example if a party of 4 ADULTS is staying for 6 days at one of the VIP suites and
bringing their own Boats/Motors then the price as per the brochure is $200 Canadian
per night less 10% or $1080 for the 6 day stay. Once we add taxes to this of 13%
it would give us a base price of $1220 Canadian. We would also charge for
fishing license if needed.
US
CONVERSION RATE: The rate of exchange has been fluctuating and is at par with
this revision. Which means for US Customers that if pricing were at $1220
Canadian, and the US $ was at par the rate would be $1220 US

EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES: If
an emergency happens while you are in at the lodge, we can call an ambulance or
911. If the emergency happens at home and people need to contact you then the
phone # at the Ivanhoe River Inn is 1-705-899-2155. Customers can utilize it;
however we recommend it be used sparingly unless it is an emergency. There is a
payphone on the property that can be used for outgoing calls, and if there is
an emergency when the lodge is closed, we live in the lodge upstairs at the end
of the porch. There is no phone service to the individual rooms. If people are
trying to get in touch with you and you are a registered guest we will try to
deliver a message to your room, as soon as possible. Please let family know of
this number and unless it is an absolute emergency have them call between
8AM-7PM.
FLYING
WEATHER: ONE-DAY FLY-IN’S We fly under a license called VFR, (Visual
Flight Rules.) If you cannot see the end of the lake and or there is fog
hanging on the trees, the chances of us flying are poor. If this is the day
that you had planned a 1-day fly in your options are to wait and see if it
improves or reschedule for another day. All you can do if you are waiting
is be patient, and cook yourself some breakfast/play cards and above all know
that the key on any vacation is safety. We have owned and operated this air
service for 30 Safe years and plan on maintaining our record. The majority of
accidents happen because of bad weather and since our pilots are professionals
and would like to maintain an accident free history, they will not put
themselves or you in harm’s way. Price is $250-$300 per person Minimum 4
persons.
AIRCRAFT
AT THE IVANHOE RIVER INN: Please ensure that boats are out of the way of
the approach to the dock of any aircraft. Our pilots are professional and do
not require your help docking the aircraft. Please stand back and allow them to
do their job. If they need help and you are willing to help, they will ask.
Please do not ever “TOUCH THE PROPELLOR”. While you are at the lodge you
will be part of a work in progress, watching the aircraft come and go. Most of
customers get a thrill out of watching the comings and goings of these aircraft
and generally most people are fine. There is always someone that walks out on
the dock when we are fueling boats or aircraft with a cigarette in their mouth,
It gives us the look of death, and although we have numerous signs before and
on the dock for just this situation, it still happens, so please use due
diligence around aircraft/boats etc.
WHAT
TO BRING:
For a great vacation! Food, flashlight, insect repellant, garbage bags, kitchen
cleaners (dish soap/scrub pads/oven cleaner, etc.), first aid kit, camera,
matches/lighter, rain gear, rubbing alcohol (for bites), mosquito coils, light
colored clothing and head nets for the bug season. Most parties over pack
and bring more than they need. Also from personal experience groups seem to
lack good raingear and under pack clothing in the spring and fall and over pack
clothing in the summer. We supply the first set of towels; so if you are
staying a length of time, bring extra towels.
SIGN
OF A GOOD SPORTSMAN: A good sportsman will always abide by laws of the forest
and fish and game act. Good sportsmen will treat all rental equipment as their
own and if there are problems with the camp or equipment will let us know. They
will also treat the animals and fish that they are not planning on consuming
with due diligence on maintaining their ability to survive.
WATER: We have
filtered/chlorinated well water at the Ivanhoe River Inn, and an independent
laboratory tests the water.
GENERAL
INFORMATION FOR OUR DAILY GUESTS AT THE “IVANHOE RIVER INN”:
Thank
you for taking the time to read this information. We recommend that you also
download the general information for all guests and whatever forms that is
important to your group. The weekends are very hectic with 24 fly in lakes
rotating in and out, and this gives us little time to work with you on the hot
fishing spots and other concerns. Our restaurant is open from Thursday-Sunday
to you as well as the public. Parties are responsible to clean their own fish
at the lodge, however we have a fish cleaning building. Each cabin has a
full kitchen with a large freezer compartment in the refrigerator, where fish
can be frozen for transportation home.
WAIVER
OF LIABILITY:
Wilderness recreation is not without risk. All guests should be aware of
inherent risks associated with a wilderness experience. Ex: operation of
mechanical equipment including Boats & Motors/Walking & Hiking/Weather
etc. It is your responsibility as a guest to ensure that you are
participating in an appropriate fashion. There are few incidents in the
wilderness but a disproportionate # of incidences are related to alcohol and
bad weather. We hope that these tips and helpful reminders will make your
vacation a fantastic experience and that once is not enough, and you will be
back.
We have
also for the first time posted this information on the website and if there are
ideas to add to this, please let us know.
George,
Jeanne, & Joel Theriault and the more than 25 staff that help us make
your dreams come true.
