Charming riverside cottage at the woods' edge, 5 miles from North Conway. Mornings on the deck with the Ellis River 20 feet below, and evenings by the wood-burning fireplace or out around the private fire pit. Explore the White Mountains, or enjoy mountain views while the kids play outside. Sleeps four across two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with private laundry inside the cottage. Across the street from a grocery store, minutes to Story Land, ski resorts, and Cathedral Ledge.
This cottage is one of our three at Rivendell Haven, a five-property compound along the Ellis River. 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 busier parts of town.
Our cottage is single-level with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The open kitchen-living-dining space runs through the center under vaulted ceilings, with a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the living area, two couches, a dining table for four to six, and the kitchen along one side.
The back deck sits along the river side of the cottage. Outdoor dining for six and a BBQ on the deck for slow mornings and evening cookouts. Beyond the deck, the shared lawn opens up to a communal fire pit (permit required), outdoor games, and a private beach access point along the river. At the back of the lot, a private fire pit sits in the woods - just for our cottage.

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.
