AMC Lakes of the Clouds Hut

My family and I stayed here for for just a single night, but it made a lasting impression. We arrived at the hut at 4:00 after hiking up the cog line and the West side trail. The weather on the side of Washington was crazy, with pelting rain, 30-40 mph sustained winds, and a wind-chill of 24°F. I literally jumped with joy upon seeing the hut, and was greeted with the sounds of good cheer and the smell of dinner. The food was delicious, and the bunk rooms were quite cozy. The members of Da Croo were all wonderful and very helpful. This hut was a very welcome respite from the harsh conditions, and has fostered many great memories.

Lakes of the Clouds is one of the most gorgeous locations of all AMC huts. The hut is situated in the clouds between Mts. Washington and Monroe. My friend and I decided to stay here after summiting Mt. Washington from Pinkham Notch. The Croo was friendly and the meals were delicious. The temperature drops so be prepared to bring a warm sleeping bag (required to bring due to COVID protocols).||||The hut system is a unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity in the White Mountains. Highly recommend staying at Lakes, just for the experience and good company. It's a friendly way to meet other hikers.

I just came here for a bathroom break before heading back up to MT Washington, and ended up staying for a whole meal. Crows were amazing food was great, and made my trip just that much better. Overall great place, and is definitely worth it to head over to if you’re swing the lake of the clouds.

I stayed in the hut Aug 31/Sep 1. The hut was sold out (over 90 spots) and it had full crew on board (11 amazing individuals!). It was my first stay in the mountain hut in the US, and my overall experience was way above expectations I could have had. Things that were awesome: - The crew, their attitudes and their educational programs. - Warm dinner and breakfast, served family-style. - The wool blankets. I honestly think they were sufficient and I could have gone without a sleeping bag. - Pillow. - Cleanliness. Everyting was really clean. No smell in the bathrooms nor in the bedrooms. Things that I'd suggest to be considered for improvement: - Give people heads ups to bring cash for payments for small things (cookies, soup). - The three levels of bunk beds is IMO just too much. I took th

We came in during 60 mph winds hungry and tired and were greeted with the kindest most welcoming staff. One of us was really cold and shivering and they offered us some hot “tang” and a blanket. They also accommodated vegan meals and made a tofu dinner and vegan breakfast pancakes. The meals exceeded our expectations meat eaters and vegan alike. We arrived “late” at 6:30p and we were able to sit at a table labeled “late arrivals” for dinner. Coffee was out at 5:30 am and they wake you at 6:30 am for breakfast that starts at 7a. If you’re a side sleeper supplement your pillow. It’s bunk beds with three bunks high. We brought our own pillowcases and were given 3 wool blankets each. We came Labor Day weekend and it was pretty cold sleeping in a sweater. Definitely would recommend this place t
