We had a wonderful stay at the Little River Cabin. Emmy and Seth were responsive and welcoming. The cabin was clean, comfortable, well equipped and as described. Good location and easy to get to. Would stay there again.

This cabin was as advertised and more. In addition to the boat and kayaks there were tubes and paddle boards that were amazing and fun. It is a very peaceful serene place. It was one of the most stocked places we have ever stayed from towels, linens, kitchen stuff to a couple great junk drawers! Overall a great stay.
