"Waking up and having a coffee on the deck by the river is bliss." That's what guests say about our renovated cottage at Rivendell Haven, a riverside compound 5 miles from North Conway. Mornings on the deck over the Ellis River. Evenings by the fireplace with the river running outside. Sleeps four across two bedrooms. Across the street from a grocery store, minutes to Story Land and top-tier ski resorts.
Our cottage sits along the Ellis River as part of Rivendell Haven, a five-property compound including The Farmhouse, The Barnhouse, and three cottages. 5 miles from North Conway and a short drive from Story Land, Cathedral Ledge, and the Kancamagus Highway, the location keeps you close to the White Mountains while staying tucked back from the busy stretches of town.
Our cottage is single-level with two bedrooms and one bathroom. Bedroom 1 has a king bed, Bedroom 2 has queen bed. The full bathroom has a bathtub/ shower with a glass enclosure. The open kitchen-dining-living space runs through the center of the cottage, with a butcher block dining table for four, the renovated kitchen along one side, and a sectional facing the electric fireplace.
The back deck sits along the river side of the cottage, Ellis River running below. Adirondack chairs and a summer BBQ are set up for slow mornings and evening cookouts, and a private path leads down to the river's edge. On the front side, the shared lawn opens up to a communal fire pit (permit required), outdoor games and space for the family to run around and play. Kids love this area and parents can rest as it is safe and away from the road.

We love creating homes that are special and being able to share them with guests that appreciate the experience.
Why they chose this property
Ever since I was a child my family had taken me up to the White Mountains for both skiing and winter sports and in the summer to explore the trails, rivers, lakes and just relaxing. As I got older, my love for the White Mountains has grown and we have explored the many unique qualities that the area has to offer.
