They have designated on-leash walking areas with waste bag dispensers and disposable receptacles, cover sheets for furniture, water and food dishes, a pet towel, disposable waste bags and “welcome” treats. You can dine with your dog in the parlor, pro shop and of course, in your room.
When booking a reservation, remember to tell them you are bringing a pet so they can make sure to reserve a dog-friendly room. Dogs are required to be out of the room during housekeeping service. Please have all pets on a leash when outside of your room.

Most of the Little River Inn’s guest rooms feature stunning ocean views. Many have fireplaces, luxurious steam showers, Jacuzzi tubs, or individual hot tubs.
