The Lodge

Perfect for retreats, family getaway, friend gathering, or memorable event!

If you are looking for a place to have a retreat, family reunion, a girls getaway, or a birthday celebration - THE AWOSTING CLUB MOUNTAIN LODGE IS IDEAL.

Built in the 1890's as a hunting retreat, the Lodge was then turned into a Girls Scout main Lodge in the 1950's-1960's. A private residence after that, the Lodge boasts rich history within its American Chestnut walls, a wood now extinct. Decorated and added onto by the current family from the 1960's on, the Lodge is a museum of curated artifacts and a feast for the eyes. There are several levels of decks facing the valley, 2 freshwater reflection pools and a 150' waterfall. The sound of running water abounds.

First floor: 1 small bunk room with 2 small 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 1980's when he would stay at the Lodge. Dining room with vaulted ceilings seats 8 and the Living room has another dining option for 8-10. Living Room has an 1880's fire place 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: Queen bed, living room, and dressing room connects to the bathroom with tub and shower. Two queen bed reading nooks can sleep and additional 2 people each.

Additional sleeping for up to 4 people in a large dome tent outside with beds and electricity can be set up during warmer months for an additional charge. (May-Oct 31). There is no heat or Air conditioning in the tent. Otherwise, there are additional Geo-Dome Bedrooms on the property for an extra charge available all year long.

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. There are air conditioning units in the main living room the Falls room/playroom. There is NO Air Conditioning in the rest of the house. Most summer nights are fine, but some can be hot - and fans are in all bedrooms.

Groups and families of 10-12 are ideal with a max capacity of 16 - (With 4 sleeping outside in the dome tent)

This house comes with a host who lives nearby. The host can grocery shop for you prior to arrival, book massages, yoga, suggest hikes and arrange for a private chef to prepare dinners for an additional cost. Inquire for more info.
