hunting lodges

Wilderness accommodation buildings

Hunting lodges are rustic buildings in rural or wilderness areas where hunters stay during hunting trips.

They range from simple cabins to elaborate estates, typically featuring amenities suited to the activity: gun storage, game processing areas, and gathering spaces.

Many now operate as commercial retreats: We booked a week at a hunting lodge in Montana.

The term sometimes describes the architectural style—exposed timber, stone fireplaces, mounted trophies—regardless of actual hunting use.
