If you were stuck inside watching the rain all through Memorial Day weekend, this is your do-over.
The weather forecast for Sweetwater this weekend is flawless. The kind of weather that’s perfect for adventuring or paddling during the day and relaxing by a riverside fire in the evening. We are mid-70s and sunny all three days. By some absolute miracle, we have a last-minute opening (BOTH COTTAGES 😎), leaving a single open gap in our otherwise fully booked summer calendar. This Friday through Sunday is the only weekend available for either cottage until August.
Bring your favorite four-legged copilot; because we are completely dog-friendly and your dog deserves a vacation too. Even better.. you don’t have to haul any gear. We provide the kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards so you can get right out on the water.

If you want to spend your weekend paddling in the Pines instead of sitting in shore traffic, click the link in our bio to grab the dates. See you on the water!

It’s true what they say.

Right now, the gardens at Mullica River Cottages are getting plenty of sky juice (aka rain!) and preparing for a May full of blooms. Just imagine trading the rain for this spot!

Here, a spectacular, massive waterfall of Clematis winds itself right around our 20x20 platform dock, situated directly on the Mullica River. This is where you’ll want to be / the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee, find your center with a quiet Pilates stretch, or drift off for an afternoon nap. All while surrounded by this serene scent and view. Our May (and beyond) cottage booking calendars are open and available for reservations.

A true bird’s eye view of your summer plans.

They say the early bird catches the worm, but at Mullica River Cottages, the “early bird” catches the best summer dates on the calendar!

From this height, you can see exactly how our little slice of paradise is laid out - from the cozy fire pit area to the lush gardens and paths. It’s the perfect spot to launch a kayak or just float into the quiet of the river for the afternoon.

We have a “perch” with your name on it, but our summer weekends are already starting to fill up. Whether you’re looking to explore the Mullica or just need a quiet place to “nest” for a few days, come see why this stretch of the river is so special.

Let’s be real. This winter was rough. Crazy low temps, a blizzard, ICE, power outages and dock damage. The ice has melted, the trees are finally waking up, and that “I need a vacation” feeling is hitting hard.
Whether you’re craving a quiet spring reset or a full-blown summer vacation, the cottages are ready for you. Come visit the Pines!

A little thank-you.
A little adventure in our beautiful downtown.

Honest review as a customer:
Incredible pastries. Even better human. Amanda truly is one of the kindest people. She works so hard, and it shows in the shoppe and everything she bakes.

The cottages are dressed in their holiday best, and so is our tiny Santa. Winter cottage stays are open if you’re craving a cozy escape.

If Mullica River Cottages had a winter ornament, this would be it. These bird feeders are foraged and hand strung from berries, sprigs, suet, cones and seeds gathered here on the property and are right at home on a shepherd’s hook, in a window view, or tucked beneath the bough of an old cedar.

A gift for the birds, and for the people who love watching them. Visit the shop tab at mullicarivercottages.com
