home of The Green Mountain Club. The main building, set between moss-covered ledges in the midst of sweeping woods, is a structure of unique beauty, and expresses, in so far as a building can, the true spirit of the wilderness. It is a real masterpiece of woodland architecture, and yet it is equipped with all the comforts and conveniences of modern civilization. The large dining room, with its beams and columns made from yellow birch logs still clothed in their shining bark, offers meals of unexcelled quality, and comfortably furnished rooms may be rented by members of the Club, their guests, and hikers on the Trail. Five small cabins, each with living room, bed rooms and large fireplace, are of the same novel and attractive design as the main Lodge, and may be rented by the day or week. In addition to these, there are seven small cabins without fireplaces or living rooms, which are available for overnight guests at a lower price. As there are many interesting and picturesque short hikes in this region, The Long Trail Lodge makes an ideal stopping place for those who wish to enjoy the trails and mountains without the strenuous effort of hiking long distances, carrying a pack and living on their own cooking.

One of the very interesting features of The Long Trail Lodge is the identification and marking of the plant life, shrubs and trees in the vicinity of the Lodge by Mr. Maurice Broun, the Club naturalist, who spends the season at the Lodge and is available to parties who wish to study the botany of the Green Mountains.
