★★★★★ "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.

Summary: It was very nice house as described on VRBO. It was very peaceful and definitely got to see lot of birds on the neighbors feeders and fish jumping in the water. But the gas grill was left a mess with the previous stays used foil on the grill and bees flying inside of it and looked like they tried burning a bucket and the aluminium foil in the fire pit.
