Cozy log cabin on private pond, near Reid St Park!
Winter or summer, the Little River Retreat will help you step away from the world - but still be minutes from Reid State Park, Five Islands Lobster, the Georgetown General Store, and the rugged beauty of Midcoast Maine.

We love the unique charm of this space and place, and many repeat guests do too. We hope you will treasure (and care for it) as we do!
