At A Glance

A working inn, a private bridge, the river running beneath.

Five guest rooms, each with a private bath. A three-bedroom owner's suite. The Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe drawing tourists from across the country. And the bridge itself, one of the few in private hands in all of New Hampshire, anchoring it all.

A First Look

Cross the bridge. Then meet the inn.

The bridge first, because the bridge is why guests come. Then the gift shoppe under its rafters. Then the inn itself, holding the road above the Saco. A private tour walks all of it.

The Covered Bridge House bridge at the Saco River's edge, its weathered red Paddleford-truss roof framed by summer foliage and the White Mountains — Saco River, late afternoon. The bridge at the river's edge, where the property begins.

The Covered Bridge House bridge spanning the Saco River, its weathered red Paddleford-truss roof set against summer foliage and the White Mountains beyond — From the riverbed. The 1850 Paddleford truss seen the way Route 302 travelers saw it for nearly a century.

The bridge approached from the road, its red siding framing the Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe sign, with a vintage red service truck parked underneath — The shoppe at the threshold. The Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe occupies the bridge itself, a turn no other inn in the valley can offer.

Front facade of the Covered Bridge House Bed & Breakfast, a white clapboard New Hampshire farmhouse with deep red shutters and a hand-painted hanging sign at the lawn — The inn from the road. White clapboard, ox-red shutters, the kind of New England face that has been welcoming travelers since the 1900s.

Elevated view of the Covered Bridge House inn from above, showing the standing-seam metal roof, the maple tree in summer leaf at the front lawn, and Route 302 below — From above. The standing-seam roof, the maple at the front lawn, the inn's full one acre held quietly off the road.

Looking out through the wooden lattice trusses of the covered bridge to the rushing Saco River and sunlit foliage beyond, with a corner of the Home & Bridge Gift Shoppe sign at the right edge — From within. The Paddleford trusses framing the river, the same view the bridge has held since the year Henry Clay died.

“More than a business. An opportunity to live and work in a place where others come to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories.”

The Inn

Stewarded for 32 years. Ready for the next.

Offered for the first time in three decades, the Covered Bridge House Bed & Breakfast is a fully operational hospitality business sitting on the banks of the Saco River in the heart of the White Mountains. Five guest rooms, each with a private bath, anchored by a spacious dining room and a sitting lounge with a gas fireplace. A separate three-bedroom owner's quarters keeps the household life private from the guest life.

Repeat guests come back year after year. The reputation has been built slowly, the way Yankee businesses build reputations: through charming rooms, exceptional service, and the kind of timeless character a modern boutique inn cannot manufacture. After 32 years of dedicated stewardship, the keys are ready to be handed on.

The setting does most of the selling. Attitash Ski Resort sits 1.6 miles east. Jackson Village and its world-class cross-country trails are minutes north. The fall foliage pulls visitors from across the globe. The summer pulls them to the Saco for swimming and tubing, and North Conway's shopping and dining are a short drive south. Four seasons of demand, one location.

The Bridge

Built In 1850

Originally carried Route 302 traffic across the Saco from 1850 to 1939. Paddleford truss design reinforced with laminated wooden arches. One of the few privately owned covered bridges in New Hampshire, and one of the largest.

The Shoppe

A Beloved Stop

The Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe operates inside the bridge itself. A highly profitable retail destination visited by thousands of tourists each year.

The River

Saco Riverfront

Direct access to the Saco from the property. Summer swimmers, autumn anglers, and the steady sound of moving water four seasons a year.

The Details

What makes it singular.

A Private Covered Bridge

The 1850 Paddleford-truss bridge stands today as one of the few privately owned covered bridges in New Hampshire. It is the spine of the property and the reason guests photograph it from across the country.

Five Guest Rooms

Each of the inn's guest rooms is well-appointed and includes a private bath. The mix that has supported strong repeat bookings for more than three decades.

A 3-Bedroom Owner's Suite

Comfortable owner's quarters keep household life separate from the operating inn. Live where the guests stay, but with your own front door.

The Gift Shoppe

A highly profitable retail destination operating inside the bridge itself. Thousands of tourist visits per year and a second income stream that runs alongside the inn.

Four-Season Demand

Attitash 1.6 miles east, Jackson Village minutes north, the Saco River at the property line, fall foliage drawing the world. The location books itself year-round.

Lounge With Fireplace

An inviting sitting lounge with a gas fireplace anchors the inn's common space. The room where guests gather over coffee in the morning and a glass after a day on the trails.

Jackson Village and its world-class cross-country trails are minutes north. North Conway's shopping, dining, and outlets are a short drive south.

Summer brings the Saco River to your doorstep, autumn brings foliage tourists from every country with a flag, and winter brings the skiers. The reservation calendar fills itself.
