About this property

Some later August dates still available - Sleeps 10+ - Hidden Waterfront Retreat

Welcome to Agape Hidden Valley! Come relax on 35 acres of private land. You can launch your canoe or kayak in the river or just float down on an innertube. Spend some time walking the trails through the woods and wildflower fields on the property. Bring your fishing poles and cast into the river right from the backyard. The Dowagiac River is known for its Trout, Steelhead, Small/Largemouth Bass, Pike, Coho Salmon and many more. (local guidelines do require a fishing license for anyone 17+ visit www.mdnr-elicense.com for more details and to purchase an annual or day pass).

The home is a rustic 2100 sq. ft., barn-shaped home with an open floor plan. The living room has a large sectional with reclining seats and a few wooden rocking chairs. A large smart tv hangs on the wall. Catch views of the river or pond from any room in the house.

There are three bedrooms:
The main floor bedroom has a King bed which can be used together as one king or pulled apart to make two twin beds. There is a powder room attached (toilet & sink).
The bunk room (second floor) has one king bed and two twin over full bunk beds. The bunk beds are separated from the king bed by a shelving unit halfway through the room to give some privacy.
The main suite (second floor) has one California king bed with an attached full bathroom. This bed can be 2 twins, if you choose.

Stay on the property as the destination for a relaxing retreat, swim in the pond or tube in the river, hike the trails, or get out and visit the local attractions:
Downtown Niles has many antique stores and unique shops and food options.
The University of Notre Dame is less than 30 minutes (13 miles) away.
Lake Michigan is only 40 minutes away! There are several public beaches to choose from, all with local shops and eateries around them. Spend a few hours or the whole day!

If those don't catch your eye there are golf courses, the Potawatomi Zoo, the Studebaker Museum, movie theaters, arcades and family fun centers.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Tara Perkins

Host profile image
My parents had this home built by the Amish in the late 80's to their very unique specifications. My mom could talk anyone's ear off about the design of the home and the property including the drawbridge stairs and man-made two acre pond that she and my dad commissioned. Nearly every antique and piece of furniture in and around the house has a story. When I inherited this property I wanted to keep those stories alive.

We have had many family gatherings at this house. It was always filled with friends and loved ones for every holiday or any occasion we could think of. I'm happy to keep the tradition going by opening it up to all of you!

What makes this property unique

The property and house itself promote nature, recreation, and relaxation. It is a peaceful, quiet place to renew.
