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.
