Illinois Valley Yacht & Canoe Club
Private
The Illinois Valley Yacht and Canoe Club, known as the IVY Club, is a private members' club founded in 1907 on the Illinois River in Peoria Heights, with a harbor, restaurant and lounge, banquet rooms and a pool complex. Its listed youth activities are a free summer swim team open to members' children and grandchildren ages 5 to 18 and paid group swim lessons on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The club's sailing program lists adult learn-to-sail lessons in May and members-only Saturday morning and Wednesday evening races; the club's own site does not describe a kids' summer sailing camp.

I already wrote a review on this place but I have to add some things. So far this has been my favorite place. Good thing, because I got sick and we had to stay. They have a bar & restaurant, washer and dryers. Gas for a the boaters. And had been in business since 1907. A lot of history here. But the employees oh my God the employees were so so nice, made you feel like you've known them all of your life! Hey Anita you're the best, then there was Dona who just wanted to talk and get to know. Got to know a few of the members, there was Nan, (who I will never forget) who wanted to eat all my chocolate, that I got from Donna. Hi Nan! And her husband bill, who sat and talked to us about the next leg of our journey. And Pam who inquired about my health. just a bunch of wonderful people at wonderful yacht Club. Thank you all!!!
I can not express in words how absolutely amazing this place is! The staff was so helpful and went above and beyond! We had our wedding and reception there on 03.01.25! They helped us set everything up. My wife who is all about the extra, and the details were plentiful, but this staff was on it! I mean they helped set up tables with all the arrangements and everything. The catering was absolutely delicious! I just can't express my gratitude for everything they did! I put 5 stars because I can't give them a 100! God bless all of you there and again thank you Sooooo much!
Got married here May 1st. The food was perfect! The day was perfect. It all went just as I’d hoped, even better than expected. I highly recommend the Ivy Club for your events and even for a night out. Come grab drinks and enjoy the view!
A wonderful place to stop! Very friendly and helpful staff, went out of their way to help us. Great nautical bar and restaurant, very nice facility! Loved our stay.
