Built in the 1890s as a hunting retreat, the Lodge was then turned into a Girls Scout main Lodge in the 1950s-1960s. A private residence after that, the Lodge boasts a rich history within its American Chestnut walls, a wood now extinct. Decorated and added onto by the current family from the 1960s on, the Lodge is a museum of curated artifacts and a feast for the eyes. There are several levels of decks facing the valley and 2 freshwater reflection pools as well as another facing a 150' waterfall. The sound of running water abounds.
First floor: 1 small bunk room with 2 single beds and two bedrooms with queen beds all share a bathroom. 1 queen bed with en-suite bathroom is off the dining room on the first floor. This bedroom was copied by Ralph Lauren in the 1980s when he would stay at the Lodge. The dining room with vaulted ceilings seats 8 and the living room has another dining option for 8-10. The Living Room has an 1880s fireplace with reading nooks and a Grand Piano. Also a chess nook, and a quiver of classic board games. The second floor is a suite unto itself with an open concept with a queen bed, living room, fireplace, and two queen-size reading nooks that could also sleep an additional 2 people each. A dressing room connects to the bathroom with a tub and shower.
For larger groups, we also have additional Geo-Dome bedrooms on the property for an extra charge available.
This house is NOT for everyone. It is rustic and a unique experience. The terrain around the house we call 'expert' terrain. It is uneven and requires attention. We have just added Mini Split AC/Heat units in both the fall room and the living room. There are fans in all of the bedrooms.
Groups and families of 10-12 are ideal with a max capacity of 14.
This house comes with a host who lives close, but not on the premises. The host can grocery shop for you prior to arrival, book massages, do yoga, suggest hikes, and arrange for a chef to prepare dinners for an additional cost. We would love to help make your experience more enjoyable. Inquire for more info.
This lodge resides on Private Reserve land open to members and their guests. The 1-mile driveway requires a 4-wheel drive in winter months (or we can arrange for transport from the base of the mountain to the top where the lodge is). There are several private cabins, tents, and geodesic domes on the Reserve also for rent for larger groups. Unparalleled proximity to 30,000 acres of Park and Preserve land.
Incredible views and surrounding nature abounds. It is a hiker's and nature lovers' paradise.
Hike to Awosting Lake 1.5hrs.
Hike to Gertrude's Nose 1 hr.
Hike to private Atwater Falls 25 min.
Tillson Lake 2 min away: for fishing and kayaking. (equipment not supplied and permit required for fishing)
