Ivy Lea – Anniversary trip part 2

We went to Gananoque for a two-day overnighter.  Since our room was not ready, we took a drive. As always, the homes are quite different, side by each.



You can tell how many boaters there are in the area. Lots of marinas. It follows with the history of the area, changing over from providing wood to steamships, farmland, and now tourism and a playground for the rush.


There are lots of side streets, with homes on the water. The resort is right on the water, while we waited to get into our room, we went to Ivy Lea.



But, then, there is Ivy Lea!


There are lots of boat tours, as well.


I like the sun deck and the sun porch. The BBQ seems a bit far away for me. Mine is on our back deck!


Here is another place, I had to look it up! On the left in the photo is the fence, the home is long and not all that wide.
Only $575,000 for two bedrooms and two bathrooms!

It appears that the realtor took a photo from the neighbour's house. It's not a lot, 'scuse the pun, for the money on the water.


I do like noticing architecture. Many places have such a wide range of size and style. What IS common, are decks facing the water.


We stopped at a lookout. The area has a long history.


This is Darlingside. It used to be a wood depot, where steamboats would stock up on wood. It was named after Thomas Darling, who bought the depot in the late 1830s, then added a general store. Steamers brought goods, and then local products were sold. This predated the railways, which connected farmers and lumbermen to the interior.


We like a good fence and gate!


Rock cuts...


From here, we went back to the resort, hoping to snag a room! Or, at least, a drink by the water.

Signage: "Autocorrect is my first enema!"
P.S. Today marks a new week of Gramma Camp! We have them Monday to Friday. Friday, I take them home. Caitlin and I are going to see Come From Away in Ottawa, Friday night. Girls night!
