The A-frames opened last month at the century-old resort and will be available every summer from May through October. Each woodsy, dog-friendly cabin features a plush bed, massive windows, electricity, Wi-Fi and solar-powered lights.
Outside, guests can sit around firepits in Adirondack chairs for s’mores and stargazing. A shared bathhouse with private bathrooms and rain showers is just a short walk away and adds to the camping vibes.
The new A-frames are just one of the lodging options at the historic resort, which dates back to 1905. Groups and multi-generational families will love the diversity of options, including the original boarding house, the pool house, ridge rooms and a private two-bedroom cottage. Other amenities include a sauna, lawn games, yoga classes, a gym, firepits, swimming, hiking trails and more.
