Welcome to Chestnut Lodge! An unpretentious woodland entrance hides a stunning space. Atop a sweeping hillside meadow, Chestnut Lodge sits in a park-like setting and spectacular views of neighboring mountains. Nestled among 30 private acres of woodlands, hillside, and the West River; the lodge is far enough from the bustle of the resort ski areas but an easy drive to skiing, hiking and everything the area has to offer.
