Amazing experience up here! Beautiful views and great people. Maria, Justin, Natan, Callie, and Josh were great hosts and made the time up at the huts special ⭐️ Well worth the hike and will be making a trip up again soon.
We stopped by while hiking the lonesome lake trail from Lafayette Place. It had been raining all morning, so this was the perfect stop for a quick snack and hot soup. It is super cozy, would recommend taking a break here. It is conveniently located for other trails as well.
This was my first hike in the snow and it was a little challenging but totally doable with micro spikes and hiking poles are helpful. The hut host was super friendly and helpful. Bathrooms and sleeping cabins were clean. They have a little wood burner that you can get warm at and a stove to cook on. They have lots of spices and fridge space. Its currently one of the only three huts open for winter. Make sure to bring a 0 degree sleeping bag! Its so beautiful
Stayed there in the summer, but climbed up there in February. Sliding down is so much fun
After an invigorating hike in (via a detour due to a temporary closure of the Lonesome Lake Trail), we reached a breathtaking lake with a mountain backdrop. The water was briskly cold, but we welcomed a swim to cool off. The bunk houses were well maintained, the Croo was very helpful, the meals (per AMC standards) were delicious, and the naturalist program was loved by the kids and adults alike. This hut is definitely family friendly.
What an awesome experience! My daughter and I hiked up together and stayed overnight in the AMC hut. Beautiful views and lake!! The CROO was great and very entertaining. Food was very plentiful and served family style. The lodge was warm and inviting and a good place to meet other guests.
Stayed here in February - it was great! I was surprised how many people were staying there which made the common area a bit cramped, but the kitchen had everything you needed, the fire in the afternoon/night was hot and there was always hot water to keep you warm. The caretaker Eugene was nice and helpful as well. Short trek in made it a great place to do the Kinsman peaks or cannon.
Great place. Been there many times. So inviting. The croo is always ready to answer your questions and address your concerns whether you’re a guest or passing through. The views are insane. The Echo is deep. If you tell u hear your voice amplified a 100 times. The way up there is super fun and there are so many options. Open year round. Lodgings year round. Not to pricey, but in the summer it can be over $150 a night. Well worth it.
