Each room has a call system for service and the master suite has a deck that looks down at Riverview Park and the river. A private dock and pontoon boat offer the best fishing in the area and cruising up and down the river to Lake Michigan. Hear concerts in the park while docked, go swimming on Silver Beach, have a picnic aboard and view elegant waterfront homes. The Arts and Crafts show in July offers crafts from around the world, and the Venetian Festival in August with its spectacular parade of lighted decorated boats is a major midwest event. Visit historic Saint Joseph with its brick streets, many fine shops and restaurants and visit the surrounding farms where you can pick fresh blueberries, raspberries, peaches, apples and many farm grown vegetables.
Antique shops abound.
Cross country skiing and ice skating are available on the grounds. After your outdoor fun, enjoy one of three fireplaces, all down comforters, and restful views of the river and night sky. Riverbend Retreat has more acreage than any other bed and breakfast, hotel or motel in the area. Hence, it is quiet and peaceful with no one nearby to disturb the tranquility of the setting.
