Cold River Retreat - Your Peaceful Refuge
Come to the river and wash your cares away! Relax, renew, and refresh. Quiet hideaway for two right on the Cold River located in Sandwich, NH.
2 Guests · 2 Bedrooms · 1 Bathroom · Cottage · 720 Sqft
Step out of your car and immediately be embraced by the sounds of the river! Cold River Retreat is a quirky little cottage that sits right beside the Cold River in Sandwich, New Hampshire. Step through the door to a cozy, comfortable space filled with unique art and textiles, all overseen by the cottage mascot, Marcel. This is the refuge that you've been looking for!
The main living area has a wall of windows/doors over-looking the river. On warm days, open them up to have the sound of rushing water fill the space. On colder days, turn on the electric "fireplace stove" for the warmth and cheer. Step into the kitchen, where you'll find basic kitchenware to prepare your favorite comfort food or beverage - or take your cooking outside to the electric grill. Enjoy your meals on the deck or at the dining table by the window.
The main bedroom has a queen bed with comfy bedding. I love to switch things up from time to time, so the actual quilt might be different than in the pictures, but it will always be colorful and comfortable! There's even a USB charging outlet in the lamp by the bed for your cell phone.
The smaller bedroom is fitted with a twin size antique metal bedframe and will be made up upon request. This would be perfect for two friends traveling together that might want the privacy of separate rooms.
In the bathroom, you'll find a neo-angle shower with rain shower head plus a hand-held shower for your convenience. Of course, basic toiletries are provided.
Although the inside of the cottage is "cool" and a bit quirky, it's the river setting that is so compelling. Spend your time swinging in the hammock, watching the water flow by. Be mesmerized by the sound of water tumbling over rocks, the smell of the large hemlock tree over-head, and the sight (if you're lucky) of the water birds flying up-river. Immerse yourself in the magic of the river.
Around the property you'll find several pieces of "yard art". Some pieces were made by my son and others are things picked up along the way. Each one adds a certain sense of wonder to the yard. Speaking of the yard - we don't use chemicals any more than absolutely necessary, so if a golf course type lawn is on your must-have list, you won't find it here.
You will be in an area of lots of protected forest, which means that you might be fortunate enough to see wildlife passing through. We have bears, deer, foxes, turkeys, etc. who all at one time or another wander by. Respect their space and they'll do the same for you! But please don't leave food out overnight. We also ask that the bugs stay outside, although every once in a while they don't listen! You can help them to remember by keeping the screen door closed.
Cold River Retreat has been my "go-to place" for renewal, and I hope that it will be the same for you! A place for quiet contemplation, reflection, and rejuvenation, CRR appeals to that inner voice that we have telling us to slow down and just be. Like the river -- let it flow.
