Big love for Little River
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!
