Johns Brook Lodge

06/08/2020

Due to challenges associated with the coronavirus pandemic, Johns Brook Lodge will remain closed to overnight reservations through Labor Day 2020. Based on guidance from local and state officials, we do not believe it is possible to safely host guests in a communal backcountry facility during a pandemic. However, because they are single-occupancy, our other facilities on the property—Grace Camp, Camp Peggy O'Brien, and the Johns Brook lean-tos—are now open for new reservations. If you have questions, please contact our reservations staff at 518-523-3441 or by email at [email protected].
