AMC's lodges provide great accommodations in spectacular wilderness settings.
The White Mountains lodging provided by the Appalachian Mountain Club allows you to experience the outdoors in the most spectacular natural settings in the Northeast. Our Destinations offer easy access to some of the best hiking, canoeing, kayaking, biking, skiing, and snowshoeing in New Hampshire. Whether you're new to outdoor adventures or consider yourself an experienced wilderness explorer, our lodges and huts provide a wonderfully unique way to enjoy the White Mountains outdoors.
A wide range of choices
The Appalachian Mountain Club operates two large lodges in the White Mountains and many smaller sites that include huts, cabins, shelters, and campground sites. If you want to stay in one spot and make day excursions for hiking, paddling, or other outdoor activities without having to carry heavy backpacks, one of our full-service lodges is perfect. They offer private and shared rooms, bath facilities, communal living room areas and a dining room complete with dinner and breakfast provided. Our White Mountains lodges are the Joe Dodge Lodge, a popular base for hiking Mt. Washington in Pinkham Notch, and the Highland Lodge in Crawford Notch near Bretton Woods, an excellent starting point for hiking the southern Presidential Range.
If you want a more wilderness-oriented adventure backpacking through the White Mountains, you may want lodging in the form of one of our eight huts placed in strategic spots, a day's hike from each other, along the Appalachian Trail. These huts are a great way to experience the White Mountains without carrying all of your gear on your back. Your stay at our full-service huts includes a bunk, full dinner, and breakfast. Also available are a variety of cabins, campgrounds, and camping sites, which can accommodate your own tent.
Our lodging sites are perfect for outdoor education activities and group events.
We use our White Mountains lodging sites for our own outdoor education classes and AMC meetings as well as for groups — from corporate retreats to outing clubs, weddings to summer camps — who wish to reserve the locations for their own events. We use our lodging sites in ways compatible with our organization's mission of promoting the protection, enjoyment, and wise use of the Appalachian region's mountains, rivers, and trails. We host more than 138,000 guest nights each year at our AMC lodges, huts, camps, shelters, and campgrounds, a large proportion of them in our White Mountains lodging destinations, all in ways designed to have minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Our White Mountains lodging is an integral part of our ecologically sound approach to recreational and educational use of the wilderness areas of the Northeast.
