Accommodations

Rooms

Gorman Chairback Lodge & Cabins offers a spectacular location "off the grid" by the shore of Long Pond, on 66,000 acres of forestland permanently conserved by AMC. The lodge is drive-in during summer and fall, and is accessible by ski or dogsled in winter. Accommodations include four private, "Deluxe" cabins (one ADA accessible) with private bathrooms. Each includes a combination of queen-size bed, bunk beds, and a futon. Eight private shoreline cabins sleep one to five people, with a combination of queen-size, full, and bunk beds. Each cabin has a woodstove and gas lamps. There is no running water in the shoreline cabins, but water jugs are provided for guest use. A separate bunkhouse can accommodate 10 guests. The central bathhouse, conveniently located in the main lodge, has composting toilets and hot showers as well as an available wood-heated sauna. Linens are provided to cabin guests, including pillowcases, sheets, and towels (bunkhouse guests must provide their own linens).
