The Lodge & Cabin


Built as a tourist lodge in the 1930s, Fifth House Lodge has been updated with contemporary features that complement its rustic style. Its many windows and skylights provide abundant light and constant reference to earth and sky.



Fifth House Lodge is a self-contained environment that offers twenty acres of woods and fields. The lodge itself consists of a living room with cathedral ceiling and massive fieldstone fireplace, large kitchen/dining area, open deck off the kitchen, and a screened-in sun porch. It has sleeping accommodations for 8-10 people. Lodging in conjunction with a workshop or personalized retreat is $90 per night.





A charming seasonal cabin on the property has its own kitchen, bathroom, living room with fireplace, wrap-around porch and two upstairs bedrooms with a double bed each. The cabin, with its writing desk overlooking mountains and fields, is an ideal place to immerse yourself in a writing project. While there you may also elect to do some private work with Joan. The cabin is available by the week, Saturday to Saturday, from May to October at a cost of $500 per week; $450 a week for two or more weeks. When available, the cabin may be rented by the night @ $90.

It was most definitely the time spent at Fifth House Lodge that pushed me on to the end of my novel. A more productive writing time I have never had in my life. . .You can quote me

Thank you for creating this wonderful place. My time here was rich and productive. I hope to return later this summer.
