Unique farmstay mountain experience promised. Stay in our quaint, romantic cabin, our most central cabin to all the farm amenities!
Honeymoon Cabin will take you back to yesteryear, it's both a romantic spot or perfect for a small family!



Your little guest cottage is mountain style dressed up with modern day decor and features a convenient little kitchenette, complete with dishes, cooking utensils, stove, microwave, toaster over and a small fridge. We like to say "bring spices and food and you are all set!" The cozy living area is complete with a KING bed, a wardrobe housing a flat screen TV, a rocking chair and lamps on end tables. The bath area has a unique yesteryear claw foot tub, just like the good old days (not to worry, it has a long shower handle for those longing for a shower not from yesteryear!). The loft area has a sitting area overlooking the creek, a double bed and a chest of drawers. This cabin is comfy and cozy for two, but welcomes up to 2 adults and 2 kids (4 adults is not an option). And the kids will truly be one with nature (as will you) with acres to explore, frogs to find, birds to watch, swings overlooking views, swings over the creek, swings by the creek, stones to skip ... the list goes on and on.
The front porch is covered so you can sit on the swing and listen to the birds singing and expect a lot of flying wildlife on property! The deck is complete with a hot tub for you to take in the stars while relaxing alongside your 1000+ feet of Little River frontage access! There is also an outdoor table and chairs to dine out.
The property has so much to offer. You can take a walk around the property (15 fully accessible acres) or hike through the surrounding woods. Beautiful seasonal flowers can be found all over the property for your enjoyment. Picnic spots are also available throughout the property to rest your legs or simply sit to enjoy your own slice of mountain life. You might see some wildlife, as there is an abundance and the area land is not as developed as other towns. There are also two ponds on your property, however, they are NOT for fishing - they are for the ducks! Tube down the lazy creek or stroll through the vegetable garden, relax, sit back, take a load off, you have earned it. You deserve it!
You are sure to find something that will be a memory to take home. "Calming, stress relieving, and peaceful." These are the words we hear time and time again to describe this beautiful well-maintained, gated and secluded property. Hike up to the mountain views, enjoy the open space, play in the river, enjoy the fire pit, lazy time in the hammock, jump in the lake. Our acreage is your oyster!
No Contact Entry!

Quiet, peaceful, with wildlife and nature all around. The Bethel community is known for its neighborly charm and beautiful land.
Easy access to property. This is NOT a 4x4 required type property during the winter months, but we will always recommend 4x4 while visiting the mountain in the winter. No steep inclines too and from the property and located off a state-maintained road.
Parking area is designated.
Respect our pet rules/limitations for the safety of our animals.

Mark, thanks for the visit. 4 star reviews can be hard to swallow with the work that goes into the cabin and land by our caretaker, especially at the price point the owner wants to keep at Little River (being super affordable is so important to her) as she continues to add amenities - please email us how we can do better for your next trip and/or for future guests!

Hi, I am Connie and you will probably see me caretaking the cabins and land, alongside our full-time caretaker, Reeky. Yes, I love, love, love meeting guests, and I certainly have been blessed with the gift of gab, but having done this for a decade, I know most guests just want to be left alone :)

Why they chose this property

We will let the property photos answer this question! Wait until you arrive and you will understand why!

What makes this property unique

This property is amazing, truly a piece of heaven. Many creative touches on property for you to discover (we don't want to give everything away!) Little River Honeymoon Cabin is a place to go back in time and enjoy the marvelous beauty of the country and mountain life. This property has it all and it is no wonder why guests continue to return. Everyone is at home when they are here, a mountain paradise.
