Each unit combines comfortable accommodations with practical amenities, including a queen bed, sleeper sofa, private full bathroom, microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker, Wi-Fi and Smart TV.
Best of all, you're already inside Letchworth State Park, putting the park's waterfalls, gorge, hiking trails and scenic overlooks right outside your door.
Stay in the Heart of Letchworth
Pinewood Lodge sits above the historic Glen Iris Inn, placing guests close to some of Letchworth State Park's most iconic scenery.
Instead of making the drive into the park each morning, guests can settle in and enjoy the convenience of staying within the park itself. Spend the day hiking, photographing waterfalls, exploring scenic overlooks or enjoying other outdoor adventures, then return to your room for a quiet evening.
The lodge's location also makes it easy to enjoy other Glen Iris amenities, including Caroline's Dining Room, located at the historic Inn.
Comfortable Efficiency-Style Rooms
Pinewood Lodge's seven units are designed to provide the comforts you need for a Letchworth getaway without the size or formality of a traditional hotel.
Each unit includes:
- Queen-size bed
- Sleeper sofa that converts to a single bed
- Private full bathroom
- Coffee maker
- Microwave
- Small refrigerator
- Wi-Fi
- Smart TV
- Ground-level access
The rooms are designed for couples, families and small groups, making Pinewood Lodge an especially convenient option for travelers who plan to spend much of their stay exploring the park.
One of the seven units has also been remodeled to be handicap accessible, providing an additional lodging option for visitors with accessibility needs.
Relax Outside After a Day of Adventure
The experience doesn't end when you return to your room.
Pinewood Lodge provides shared outdoor spaces where guests can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Outdoor amenities include:
- Picnic tables
- Charcoal grills
- Wood-burning fire pits
- Adirondack chairs
It's a great place to unwind after a day on the trails, gather with family or friends, enjoy an evening around the fire and simply take in the atmosphere of being surrounded by Letchworth's natural landscape.
A Convenient Basecamp for Letchworth
Pinewood Lodge is particularly well suited for travelers who want to experience Letchworth State Park beyond a single day trip.
Stay overnight and give yourself time to explore at a more relaxed pace. Start your morning with a walk through the park, spend the day visiting waterfalls and overlooks, enjoy dinner at Caroline's or another nearby restaurant, and return to your lodge for an evening around the fire.
Staying inside the park also means you can take advantage of the changing light and scenery throughout the day — from early morning photography to sunset views and peaceful evenings after the crowds have gone.
