One of our three cottages 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 one bathroom. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, Bedroom 2 has a double bed. The full bathroom has a tub-shower combo. The open kitchen-living-dining space runs through the center of the cottage, with a dining area for four, the kitchen along one side, and a sofa with a smart TV in the living area.
The back deck sits along the river side of the cottage, Ellis River running below. Outdoor dining 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.
