Inn at Ellis River

Our first time here. Its really nice. Peaceful, friendly, clean. Inn keepers are real nice, breakfast was great. Comfortable. All around great experience here. We would come back.

Came here for my In-law’s 50^th trip and stayed one night. The room was quite, comfortable and clean-​our big 3. The tour by Mary when we arrived was warm and welcoming. I am an early riser and was grateful for the hot coffee dispenser in the eating room. A note for the Basin room: the steps are very steep for older folks and the suite has one bathroom/​shower. Although it was not ideal for our family, it is ideal for you families.
The breakfast had two options (blueberry French toast or a southwest frittata egg bake) and both were delicious.
Thanks for a lovely stay. (

My husband and I stayed here for Labor Day weekend! We absolutely loved the place. It had a classic 1960’s feel and the staff were incredibly hospitable. The breakfast was good and they also provide tea and coffee all day and have homemade baked snacks in the afternoon. It’s about 15 mins from the Conway area, so it’s quiet and right by the river, but close to a busy area if you need anything from that area. It is also pretty close to the mountains. We hope to go back!

Headed to NH for a skiing getaway this past Valentine’s Day, and we decided to use a Bed&
certificate we had received as a Christmas gift. This was my very first time staying at an Inn, as I’ve always found myself to be more of a «hotel-​type gal» (as corny as that sounds!) I don’t know, I guess the Inn style always kinda spooked me out. Well, needless to say — I’ve been missing out all these years! What a wonderful time we had! We knew this Inn was worth 5 stars from the second we walked through the door. Will most definitely be our go-​to winter getaway spot as it is minutes away from Attatash. Highly recommended! Oh, and be sure to have the bacon for breakfast. You can thank me later!

My wife and I came up here directly after our wedding in late March with the goal of getting away from everyone. Our cell phones were off; no e-​mail checking; no Facebook; nothing.
We got exactly what we were looking for. There was only one other couple there, which was fine with us since we didn’t leave our room much except to go across the road to the Shannon, and down the hallway for breakfast and playing some board games. As part of our package, we got some champagne, champagne flutes, chocolate, and a room with a Jacuzzi and fireplace. My wife had even let them know I was gluten-​intolerant so they had picked up a whole bunch of gluten-​free items to be ready for me when I arrived. It was a fantastic way to spend a few days decompressing after dealing with the wedding stress.
The only problem we had was that our fireplace wouldn’t light, so one of the innkeepers and I spent a while getting it working. Not very romantic, but there was a problem, and they worked on getting it remedied quickly.
Short story; great place to get away, and you can tell the innkeepers care about making sure you leave happy.

We have stayed here twice this ski season so far! The first time our room was upgraded due to the previous guest didn’t open the fireplace damper before lighting their fire. There was only a faint smell in the room we booked, but we ended up in a suite called Paradise, which was really wonderful! The Inn is well kept by a very dedicated staff, the beds have the finest linens and super comfortable! The common rooms are cozy and inviting to sit by a fire, play pool in the lounge, enjoy the hot tub in the sunroom, or play their many games. Breakfast was great every day, and we especially liked coming home to fresh baked cookies after skiing. There is always assorted coffee and tea’s available. We have enjoyed getting to know Lyn, Frank, Christine and Peter at various times during our stays! Jackson is a great NE Town to visit and this particular Inn is the best I’ve stayed at. We hope to get back for one more visit this season.

We stayed here last fall. Very nice place. Staff were helpful, room was cute, and the breakfast was nice. Probably the best b&b in White Mt

Clean, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, great breakfast, good price

Wonderful place to stay! No kids under 12 so a couple can go relax in peace. Full bar and game room are fun — hot tub, sauna, and inground pool are some other great things you’ll find here. Breakfast each morning is very tasty — YOU MUST TRY THE BACON!
My husband & I will definitely be back!

Another great stay with Frank, Lynn and Christine at the Inn at Ellis River!
This time we tried to save some money and stayed in the Basin Suite, which normally sleeps four– but they close off the second part of the suite if there’s two of you. It’s a smaller room than some of the others, no fireplace or tub, but it is still very nice and has a very soft king bed.
It was New Years weekend and the Inn was totally full, it seemed. Breakfast on New Years Day had every table full and we’ve never seen that before at this Inn (and we’ve been coming here for almost 6 years!). Breakfast was delicious– there always seems to be a choice of a waffle/​pancake or an egg creation of some kind. There are healthy alternatives if you want… or if you want to indulge, you can do that too. Lynn does all of the breakfast making and she’s amazing (and so nice too!).
One of the days, she made these white chocolate raspberry scones– really, so heavenly…
As always, I can’t wait to come back!

Very clean inside and out, friendly/​helpful staff, delicious breakfast and pretty rooms. There is also a pool and jacuzzi that you can use until 9pm. There is definitely nothing to do in the area after 9 or 10pm, but this inn is convenient set nearby all major local attractions to check out during the day. One night we went to dinner at Red Fox, which I would recommend for casual dining — I got a huge cut of salmon and it was delicious!

The Inn at Ellis River is the best B&B I’ve been to (granted I’ve only been to a dozen or so). Frank, one the innkeepers, met us at the door and gave us a personal tour of the fabulous facilities. The room was fantastic and everything seemed to have a personal touch (little chocolates, bottled water, hot cider, homemade cookies). A new fire log was delivered every night. Breakfast was more than we could hope for: choice of omelet, Belgian waffle, french toast.
We loved it here!

We decided to splurge and stay at this inn. The room was lovely with beautiful furniture and a log in the fireplace ready to burn. They have DVDs, CDs, tons of magazines and books, games, a hot tub and a licensed pub on the premises. Each room is named after a local waterfall and the owners can give you directions to each of the waterfalls if you would like to hike to see them. Rooms are well stocked with necessities, including a hairdryer and an iron. Each day, the housekeeping staff leaves two beautiful glasses and two bottles of water for you. There is also a computer available so guests can check their email during their stay. Also, the inn does not allow kids, so it is nice and quiet — no screaming children in the halls disturbing you.
The woman who serves breakfast (I didn’t get her name) is very nice and very spunky. She was a joy and really seems to enjoy her job and like her customers.
We arrived at night, so we had trouble finding the place. The driveway situation is a little strange unless you know where you’re going. The directions on the website are no longer accurate — e.g. they tell you to watch for a specific gas station, but the gas station now goes by another name.
My major major major issue with this place was that no one informed us before we arrived that we would need to sign-​up for breakfast time slots. We thought we’d just eat breakfast and get an early start… but when we arrived, everyone already staying at the inn had taken all of the early slots and the only slots left were 9:30 or 9:45 or something like that — very very late in the morning. This threw off our plans. While some people might stay there to sleep-​in and hang-​out at the inn, we planned to get an early start for a full day of hiking. Fortunately, the innkeepers made an exception and squeezed us in during the first slot (the earliest slot is 8 AM), but they weren’t thrilled about it and the whole thing just left a sour taste in our mouths from the very beginning of our stay. My recommendation is that if you need to get an early start in the morning, either skip breakfast, or call *first thing* in the morning on the day you arrive and ask to be put on the list during one of the early slots. The sign-​up sheet is put out at breakfast time, so if you don’t call early, it will be like you didn’t call at all.
Our room was marketed on their website as having a river view, but it really only had a river view if you walked over to the window, stood right in front of it and looked out. You couldn’t see the river while sitting in a chair or lying in bed. But we didn’t stay in the room much, so I wasn’t too irritated by this.
The other frustration we had was the room temperature. Granted, it is fall and it can be a difficult time to regulate temperature settings… but even with the thermostat turned down completely, the room was way too hot during the night. We ended up sleeping with the window open (and it was 34 degrees outside)… so we were either too hot or too cold all night long each night. We didn’t get much rest as a result. Then, when we sat down for breakfast, we found that we were sitting under an air-​conditioning vent… that was turned *on*!
Literally everything you come across at the inn is for sale… right down to the «Do Not Disturb» sign you hang on your doorknob and the little salt and pepper shakers on the breakfast tables. So if you fall in love with something, you can probably buy it and bring it home with you.
All said, it is a nice inn. It is pricey. I recommend it IF you are looking for a romantic place where you can sleep in, explore the surrounding area by foot and do some shopping. As people who left by 9 AM and returned after 9 each night, I felt like I made a poor choice. Next time, I will choose a place that costs less and has more flexible eating arrangements so we can be out the door by 7 or 8 AM and get on with our full day. But that is just me… I do think others would really enjoy this inn depending on what they are looking for.

One of my favorite B&B’s. Inkeepers are nice. breakfast is good. love the game room. stayed in a jacuzzi room with a view of the river.

I’ve been here a few times now and have always had a nice stay. It is located in a quiet area, just far enough away from Route 16 so that you don’t hear much of the traffic. The rooms are mostly very nice, though a few are rather small and some of the bathrooms aren’t ideal (the sink in some of the rooms is outside the bathroom). Some of the rooms have balconies and fireplaces, and in a few, you can hear the sound of the Ellis River below. Breakfast is pretty good overall, and is included in the price, of course. The folks who run the place are friendly and personable and are more than willing to help with any questions about the surrounding area. Finally, the grounds are rather nice, with a large grassy area below that leads to the river, and a pool along the side for the warmer months.
If you are looking for a nice place to stay in Jackson, this isn’t a bad choice at all.
