Neighborhood Description

The Best of the White Mountains Our home is nestled in a quiet, riverside pocket on the Bartlett/Jackson line. It’s a peaceful neighborhood where the primary soundtrack is the rushing water of the Ellis River, yet you are just minutes away from the most iconic attractions in the Mount Washington Valley.

Jackson Village Charm (~5 Minutes) A five-minute drive brings you into the heart of Jackson, often called the most picturesque village in New England.

You can drive through the famous "Honeymoon" Covered Bridge, grab a coffee at a local cafe, or walk the scenic loops around Jackson Falls. It’s a village that feels frozen in time but offers high-quality dining and world-class cross-country skiing.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

If you’re here for the mountains, you couldn’t be better placed. We are centrally located between several major ski resorts, meaning you can choose your mountain based on the day's conditions. For hikers, the neighborhood offers easy access to the White Mountain National Forest, including favorites like Diana's Baths and Glen Ellis Falls.

Peaceful but Accessible

While we enjoy a serene, natural setting, we are far from isolated. The Red Fox Bar & Grille—a local staple for family dinners—is just 5 minutes away. If you’re looking for the excitement of North Conway’s outlet shopping, breweries, and the Conway Scenic Railroad, a 20-minute drive gets you right into the center of the action.
