Dog-Friendly Lakeside Escape w/ Hammock & Fire Pit
Escape to this peaceful lakefront cottage on Little River Lake, where comfort, nature, and convenience come together. Start your mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee as you look out over the quiet water, unwind in the hammock, or spend an afternoon fishing. You can also visit the nearby Little River Lake Facility to rent a canoe and explore the shoreline at your own pace. While the setting feels secluded and serene, you’re still close to great restaurants and the conveniences of town.
Inside, the home offers 3 comfortable bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and 2 full bathrooms, including one with a private en suite. The layout is perfect for couples, families, or a small group of friends looking for a relaxing getaway. Outside, the large back deck features a hammock, a seating area, and a grill for outdoor meals. The spacious yard includes a cozy fire pit—ideal for winding down under the stars.
We happily welcome up to two well-behaved, vaccinated dogs (pet fee: $87 total). Due to allergies, we cannot host cats. Please note that swimming is not permitted in the lake.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape, an outdoor adventure hub, or a comfortable home base near Durham, this lakeside cottage offers the best of all worlds.
