“Emily Etta Stevens Pullen, the fourth daughter of Isaiah Stevens who built the farmhouse which is now Glendeven Inn’s main building, kept a diary beginning in 1864, when she and her family made the daring voyage from Maine to Little River, until 1935, tow years before her death. A copy of Etta’s lifelong diary is kept in one of Glendeven’s rooms, aptly named ‘Etta’s Suite.’ Etta lived in Little River until her death at 83 years old. This is her recipe for corn bread.” —Innkeeper, Glendeven Inn--Glendeven Inn
