About this lodge

This stunning A-frame style lodge is the perfect getaway for lovers of the outdoors.

Nestled in the heart of a picturesque neighborhood filled with charming, quintessential, New England homes, Lookout Lodge offers the perfect private retreat for your next vacation. This serene property is ideal for those seeking a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

While the scenic road is well-maintained, it's important to know that parts of Chestnut Knoll Rd. are sloped and may present a challenge for smaller cars driving in the snow. However, with an AWD or 4x4 vehicle, you'll have no trouble navigating the area, even during the winter months.

Experience the beauty and tranquility of New England with a stay at Lookout Lodge.

Wha a perfect cozy pre-holiday stay! The Christmas Tree was a beautiful touch. We loved sitting listening to the record player with the fireplace on. It was a windy and chilly weekend, but the home was perfectly warm.

We had a fantastic stay at this property for a ski trip. The house and land are as lovely as the pictures and are very private. Visited on an extra chilly and windy stretch but house incredibly warm and cozy even during a brief power outage thanks to an automated generator. Outstanding responsiveness from host. We would return without hesitation!

What an amazing experience! Heather was absolutely wonderful to work with, making everything seamless. The house exceeded our expectations—it was cozy, beautiful, and had everything we needed. We didn’t even feel the need to leave during our stay since we could sled right in the backyard! It was the perfect getaway, and we truly hope to stay in this lovely cabin again in the near future.
