🌲 What Makes Brookledge Unique
We’re often asked: “What is Brookledge?”

We're not a 5-star luxury hotel—we're a 5-tree happy-to-be-here nature getaway. If you’re searching for stars in the sky, chipmunks at your feet, and the smell of campfire smoke in your flannel, this is your place.

Brookledge was once Girls Inc. Summer Camp and many of its original buildings, bathhouses, trails, and pavilions have been lovingly restored with a deep respect for history and nature.
