Welcome to Moose Lodge and Cabins

A One-of-a-Kind Retreat in Bretton Woods

Welcome to a truly extraordinary destination. Nestled on 32 private acres surrounded by National Forest and the Ammonoosuc River, this unique property offers a rare blend of untouched wilderness, scenic beauty, and comfort. With a rich variety of habitats—forests, wetlands, ponds, streams, and nearly a mile of riverfront—this land is home to an incredible array of wildlife. Keep an eye out for brown bears, moose, snowshoe hares, beavers, white-tailed deer, and even elusive bobcats. Bird lovers will be especially enchanted by “Brooks Field,” one of only three open areas in New Hampshire maintained by the National Forest Service as a critical nesting ground.

Four distinct homes are thoughtfully placed across the property, each offering a unique experience and breathtaking views of the surrounding natural beauty.

Endless Adventure or Total Relaxation—Your Choice

Our guests often tell us this is the most incredible place they’ve ever stayed—and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, there’s something for everyone.

Cast a line in the fish-filled Ammonoosuc River
Hike the property or nearby trails
Explore all-season adventures nearby—from cross-country and alpine skiing at Bretton Woods (just 2 minutes away!) to ziplining, snowmobiling, ATV tours, and more

Close to Iconic White Mountains Attractions

When you’re ready to explore beyond the property, you’ll find some of New Hampshire’s top attractions just a short drive away: Santa’s Village, Story Land, Franconia Notch, Whale’s Tale Waterpark, the famous Ice Castles, and countless other family-friendly activities await—making this the perfect home base for a White Mountains getaway, year-round.

Four Seasons of Magic

Maple Season: As winter fades, get a taste of local tradition by watching maple syrup made right on the property.
Spring: Hike to waterfalls, watch the forest bloom, and maybe even spot a moose as the mountains burst back to life.
Summer: Fireflies light up the wetlands, wildflowers bloom, and each home offers incredible outdoor amenities—hot tubs, fire pits, grills, and even an outdoor kitchen at Moose Lodge. (Note: West Mountain Lodge currently has limited hot tub access while we install a Swim Spa!)
Fall: Witness the world’s most breathtaking foliage—right here in the White Mountains. Don’t take our word for it—read what The Boston Globe has to say.
