Main Lodge

Since the purchase of the facility in 1946, many changes and improvements were necessary.  However, a genuine effort has been made to preserve the basic Main Lodgecharacter and architecture of the main lodge. The outside appearance is essentially as it was during its hotel days. 

One of the most interesting architectural characteristics of the spacious lodge is its continuous porch measuring 398 feet in length by 14 feet in width, which is the original "piazza" of hotel days. The porch encircles the building on three sides and serves a very practical purpose for campers during inclement weather. It provides an area for scattered informal groups and A few of the many of rocking chairs that line the porchextends a cordial invitation to all who arrive to sit down and rest awhile on any of the more than 100 rockers which are now a tradition at Doubling Gap.   

The following areas are found on the first floor of the lodge: lobby, offices, library, classroom, restrooms, auditorium, dining hall, and main Front desk in Main Lodge lobbykitchen. Adjacent to the lobby is a furnished guest room, first-aid room, activity/craft room, and   kitchenette. The lower level of the lodge includes shower rooms, game room, fitness center, seasonal nature center, and mechanical areas. On the second floor of the lodge, there are two dormitories which include several staff suites and two resident apartments.
