The Red Elephant Inn Bed and Breakfast is nestled in the heart of the Mt. Washington Valley in North Conway, New Hampshire. Just a short walk from all the activity of the village, this New England inn is located on a quiet wooded lane just off Route 16. Here you can experience comfortable lodging accommodations, warm innkeepers, beautiful views, and all of the varied activity of the White Mountains.

The Red Elephant Inn is appointed with everything you'd expect from homeowners who have cared for old houses all their lives. The Inn's library is great for just relaxing, with a full library of books plus an exhaustive selection of local hiking, biking, and trail maps. Pop a classic movie from the Inn's collection into the VCR/DVD player in the den to view on the big-screen TV. The den is also a great place to get to know fellow guests.

The eight unique guestrooms, each with a private bath, are air conditioned as well as heated. Their modern comfort is matched only by their vintage charm, exemplified by the collection of antiques and art your hosts have accumulated over the years. Choose from amenities such as gas fireplaces, single or double Jacuzzi tubs, and mountain views. Two queen rooms can join together to form a suite ideal for a family with older children or for two couples traveling together.

Wake up every morning to a hearty breakfast served in the dining room. The courses are as intriguing as they are satisfying, and special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice. The dining room also has tea and cookies out all the time.
