Welcome to Moose Lodge and Cabins

A Destination of Your Own in Bretton Woods

Follow a woodland trail to the river. Watch the morning light reach Mount Washington. Spend the afternoon exploring, then settle into your hot tub beneath the stars. At Moose Lodge and Cabins, the place you stay is part of the adventure.

Set on 32 acres alongside the Ammonoosuc River and bordering the White Mountain National Forest, our four distinctive homes combine the freedom of a private vacation rental with access to a remarkable natural setting. Forests, wetlands, beaver ponds, streams, and nearly a mile of riverfront invite you to slow down and discover something new. Bretton Woods skiing is just about a mile away, yet the grounds feel like a world of their own.

Choose a classic log cabin, an imaginative yurt-inspired home, a spacious lodge for gathering, or a luxury log retreat with a year-round swim spa. Reserve one home for your getaway or inquire about several for a vacation together.

Room to Roam, Reasons to Stay

You can fill your days without leaving the property. The grounds and riverfront beach are shared exclusively among guests of Moose Lodge and Cabins, with plenty of places to explore at your own pace.

  • River days: Relax on the beach, cast a fishing line, or enjoy swimming holes and tubing when river conditions allow.
  • Woodland discoveries: Follow walking trails past wetlands, beaver ponds, and quiet stretches of riverfront.
  • Seasonal fun: Enjoy volleyball in the warmer months and the outdoor skating rink when winter weather arrives.
  • Winter wandering: Bring your snowshoes or cross-country skis to explore the trails when snow conditions are suitable.
  • Nature watching: Look for moose, black bears, beavers, deer, and birds, including bald eagles. Wildlife sightings are always a possibility, never a promise.

Each home has its own outdoor spaces and amenities. Hot tubs, decks, and home-specific features are for guests of the home booked; West Mountain Lodge’s swim spa is exclusive to that home.
