Other Things to Note:
• Open Ceilings: The three upstairs bedrooms feature open ceilings—a hallmark of traditional New England cottages—designed to enhance airflow throughout the space. Please note that because of this design, sound does travel between rooms. White noise machines are provided in each bedroom for added comfort and privacy.
• Tides: The landscape of Little River transforms with the tides. Check the Hi Tide app to plan your activities.
• Amenities: Fully stocked kitchen, central air conditioning, Smart TV with Roku, outdoor grill, and more.
• Bring your bikes, kayaks, or paddleboards, or rent them locally for a full waterfront adventure.
• The boat is not included with the rental of the property; we kindly ask that you do not board the boat or sit on the bow.

We loved staying at Little River and will keep it in mind should we return to the region again! We loved the vintage vibe with all the modern conveniences! The glorious scenery on the river was easily viewed from bedrooms and a spacious sitting room downstairs. We loved relaxing on the dock watching all the wildlife and dining outdoors, surrounded by lovely landscaped stone pathways. There was also a beautiful table for indoor dining and a complete kitchen. Our hosts took exceptional care of us! We can't wait to return!
