Did you know The Rivers Retreat began its journey as a beloved summer camp along the Little Tchefuncte River? Over the years, it blossomed into a magical haven for family reunions and joyful celebrations: where generations come together to embrace the warmth of tradition and the beauty of new memories.

Looking for the ultimate location to reconnect, reminisce, and make new family memories? The Rivers Retreat is a fantastic place for family reunions – where generations gather to laugh, explore, and enjoy the enchanting beauty of our secluded riverfront property.

Every legacy begins with a spark and a dream. The Rivers Retreat was once a vision: a place where families, friends, and new love would gather to celebrate life’s biggest moments among the whispering trees by the riverbank. Today, we’re honored that this dream has grown into a breathtaking 13-acre sanctuary, overflowing with stories and memories that started right here.
