Kayaks | Relax by River | 10 Min to Shipshewana |

Escape to The Pigeon River Retreat - Your Home Away from Home! Experience the perfect place for you and your loved ones to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this 2 bed/1 bath ranch, kayak (two provided) on the beautiful Pigeon River, 900 feet from the mouth of Pigeon Lake! Unwind in tranquility as you soak in the peaceful setting. Yet conveniently located near Shipshewana at only 10 minutes from downtown, this retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation and accessibility.

Available via phone, text, or email - I will be available however is most convenient for you. If someone is needed on-premise, I have a manager within 30 minutes of the property.

If you want to get out and explore, it's 10 minutes away from the famous Blue Gate restaurant and the Shipshewana Flea Market; Shipshewana has shops, restaurants, the well-known Blue Gate Theatre. 13 minutes from the Michiana Event Center (MEC). Krider "World's Fair" Garden is a beautiful place to relax, right beside the Pumpkinvine Trail entrance in Middlebury IN. Nappanee has additional Amish culture with shopping, theatre, and dining. All this and more as you relax and enjoy this wonderful area full of culture and hospitality. This property is designed to offer a relaxing stay, regardless of whether you are on vacation, traveling for business, or attending an event at the Michiana Event Center or any other event center in town.

Notre Dame University is only 45-50 minutes away from our house as well. So if you're in town for a game, it's really pretty convenient to get to Notre Dame and avoid the traffic rush.

In the middle of Amish country, but yet near all the local attractions with access to the main road. Rise 'n Roll Bakery (a local Amish bakery known for its donuts); Das Dutchman Essenhaus, Shipshewana, Nappanee.

Self-Check-in - You will gain access to the property via a code entered on a keypad which will be provided the day before check-in.

Check-in time is anytime after 4:00pm

★★★★★ "Talk about a hidden gem! Amazing location quiet neighborhood and the house had absolutely everything we needed." - Jon

Enjoy a slower pace, aka "Lake Life" at our Pigeon River Retreat, less than a quarter mile from the mouth of Pigeon Lake (FYI - a no wake lake). Not only will you have a newly renovated home with great amenities, but also you'll be able to jump on the river with our provided kayaks (pictures coming soon & please use the provided adult life jackets). There are miles of river and lakes that you can explore by entering right off our dock. Enjoy a peaceful day fishing in the river or in the lake, there is a public boat ramp just south of the property about a half mile.
