Rooms

Little Lyford Lodge & Cabins offers a spectacular location “off the grid” on 66,000 acres of forestland permanently conserved by AMC. The lodge is drive-in during the summer and fall, and accessible by ski or dogsled in winter.

Accommodations include nine individual private cabins sleeping 1-6 people, with a combination of doubles and bunk beds. Each cabin has a porch, a woodstove, and gas lamps for year-round use, as well as cold running water in during the summer and fall.

A separate, shared, co-ed bunkhouse can accommodate 12 guests.

The central bathhouse, conveniently located near the main lodge, has composting toilet and hot showers year-round, as well as a wood-heated sauna available in wintertime.

Pillows and blankets are provided, but guests must bring their own sheets or sleeping bag and a towel.

Little Lyford welcomes well-behaved dogs to stay in their owners’ cabin for a $10/night fee (fee excludes service dogs). Maximum of 2 dogs per cabin.

Top Things to Do

What to Bring

The right clothing and gear are essential in the unpredictable weather of the Maine Woods. Even if it feels like summer during the day, it can be cold and winter-like once the sun goes down. Use our gear guides to make sure you’re packing everything you need for comfort and safety.

Blankets and pillows are provided at Little Lyford, but guests should plan to bring their own sheets/pillowcases or sleeping bags. We have hot showers year-round, so bring your towel and toiletries, and don’t forget your swimsuit if you’d like to use the sauna!
