1. A cottage or cabin, often rustic, used as a temporary abode or shelter: a
ski lodge. We stayed in the lodge at Crater Lake.
2. A small house on the grounds of an estate or a park, used by a
caretaker or gatekeeper. The grounds keeper's lodge sat at the rear of the
manor.
3. A local chapter of certain fraternal organizations. The dinner was at the
Fraternal Order of Moose Lodge on Friday night.
