We enjoyed our time at the cottage on Little River. It was in a good location for us and dog-friendly, so we didn’t have to board our daughter’s aging fur baby. There were a few minor maintenance issues that popped up, but Shannon and Chris were good communicators. The whole family felt comfortable and relaxed. As one said, “It was nice but not fancy.”, and that made it a great getaway for us.

The views are absolutely gorgeous! The cottage was well stocked, clean, and hosts promptly responded to all questions. Hosts are accommodating and beyond helpful! Boat slip was easily accessible and worked well for our pontoon boat. We really enjoyed checking/catching crabs in the crab pots. Pool was nice after a day on the sound and in the evenings. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the cottage. Thank you so much for your hospitality and use of the property!

We had a great week and really enjoyed our stay! The private pool was definitely a favorite, and we loved having the game room in the garage with shuffleboard, darts, and the pool table. There was plenty for everyone to do and enjoy.We also really enjoyed being right on the water. Having the kayaks and canoe available was a great bonus, and some of us were able to spend time fishing as well. It was such a nice place to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the water.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and a great family vacation. We would definitely recommend it!

Refreshing

We had a marvelous time. Early morning fishing and all day crabbing was a blast. When the mid-day sun became exceedingly warm, the pool became the oasis for everyone. Plenty for everyone to do and the best part was the view!.

This property exceeded our expectations! The house its self was beautiful. Located down a quiet private road right on the water. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The host even provided us with a basket of goodies and treats for my dog! We saw dolphins our first day there and enjoyed relaxing in the pool. Wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to return again next year.
