Hiking, paddling haven! Free Boats, Shared Bath & Sauna, Private Cabin

Located a short walk from Little Lyford Ponds and nestled within 100,000 acres of conserved land, Little Lyford Pond Cabins is operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club, the country’s oldest recreation and conservation organization. Staying at Little Lyford will provide opportunities to hike, bike, ski, fish and paddle out your front door. Your stay supports the AMC’s ongoing conservation efforts.

Pillows are provided with a pillow case. There is no electricity in the cabin. Cell service is poor and there is no internet available on campus. There are propane lights for illumination in the evening, but a headlamp or flashlight is strongly recommended.
This cabin does not have a private bathroom. A shared bathroom with composting toilets, hot running water for showers and sinks is a short walk away. A shared sauna can be lit by staff upon request.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included with rental of this cabin. All meals are served in the main lodge which also has a living room which includes a library and small retail store. Breakfast and dinner are served buffet style while lunch is a bag lunch provided immediately after breakfast to take on your adventure for the day. We can accommodate major dietary restrictions.

The drive to Little Lyford takes you on gated logging roads which can be difficult to pass after major rain events in early June and late October. The roads are accessed through a gate operated by a third party which closes at 9:00pm. Arrivals after that time are not permitted. RVs, ATV and motorcycles are not permitted past the gate.

Free use of our fleet of canoes and kayaks is included in your stay and can be launched off our boat slip on Little Lyford Pond. You can swim off the boat slip but there is no sandy beach area available. If you intend to swim or boat, please bring your own beach towel.

There is a single campfire ring in camp with benches, and chairs. Firewood is provided and staff will light the fire upon request.

Our staff is knowledgeable about local recreation opportunities and can point you in the right direction for gravel biking adventures, hiking trips, fishing spots, ski tours and great locations to spot local flora and fauna on land and on the water. Natural history presentations are often offered on site as well.
