Wilderness House is a 7-bedroom cabin built in the early 20th century as a sportsman retreat by a large wealthy family. Situated deep within several hundred acres of forest, Wilderness House sits on one of the highest points in Littleton MA with an unobstructed view of the Wapack Range and, on a clear day, Mt. Monadnock some 40 miles distant in New Hampshire. A series of trails lead from the cabin atop Wilderness Hill through this primitive preserve to a private dock nestled in a secluded corner of Littleton's Long Lake.
Currently - Wilderness House is owned and managed by the New England Forestry Foundation in cooperation with the Littleton Rotary Club. For over 50 years, NEFF has demonstrated that well-managed working forests, both publicly and privately owned, can provide the owner and the community with the prime ingredients for healthy living. In short NEFF seeks to realize that ideal balance of man, industry and nature sought after by Henry David Thoreau.
