River Retreat W/ HOT TUB/ Game room

HOT TUB, GAME ROOM. 12 KAYAKS with life jackets provided for free. Stunning River views!! No close neighbors to worry about being up late or keeping quiet. Enjoy the wildlife from birds to an occasional Bald Eagle. Fish from the banks or jump in a kayak and head out to the sandbar 300 ft from the house where locals gather by boat to hang out when the weather is right. This beautifully renovated home boasts a brand new 7 person hot tub and game room with spectacular views of the Saint Joseph River. Located 10 minutes from Middlebury and Elkhart and only 18 minutes from Shipshewana! Notre Dame is also only a 28 minute drive. There is room to park 5 vehicles. 7 if you want to use the lawn. There is room to park a boat trailer on the lawn if you want to bring your own boat. There is a golf course a couple miles down the road. There is 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 2 full beds/ bunkbeds, 5 twin beds/bunkbeds.

Plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, chalet, fast food etc within 5 to 10 minutes away. Door Dash or Uber eats delivers to this location.

Shipshewana is 18 minutes away and is a small tourist town with one of the largest flea Markets in the US. Lots of small shops, restaurants, bakeries and Amish food.
