Little Lyford Lodge and Cabins Review

When you want to get away from everything, head to this rustic wilderness retreat on 66,500 acres of conservation land, part of the Appalachian Mountain Club's lodging network. Moose are abundant, and the fly-fishing, snowshoeing, hiking (Gulf Hagas is nearby), and backcountry skiing are excellent. There are canoes on several ponds, a swimming area on the Pleasant River (depending on water level and flow), and a convenient swimming hole. Well-maintained cabins from an 1870s logging camp that was later a sporting camp have woodstoves and gas lights. Home-cooked fare is served family-style in the lodge. The 1980s addition, like the bathhouse, has mostly solar-powered lighting.
