The resort hotel is a melding of modern design concepts with a new “Vermont-Alpine” aesthetic.  The lodge’s exterior features a picturesque façade of woven Western Red Cedar timber and shingles that draw upon the natural harmony found in nature, as well as stone veneer created from the Champlain Quarries in the Adirondacks, and expansive glass to bring the beauty of the lodge’s outdoor surroundings to the indoors. 

The interior design incorporates a color palette of the local seasons – vibrant reds, deep oranges, warm yellows and soothing greens.  These warms tones, plush furnishings and soothing amenities dot the interiors, which are used as a showcase for Vermont’s most renowned international artists and artisans, including glassblower Simon Pearce, furniture maker Charles Shackleton, potter Miranda Thomas, artistic woodworker Parker Nichols, blacksmiths from Hubbardton Forge and several local painters, all of which enjoy a global following.
