Department 56 Snow Village Hunting Lodge Lighted Building with Box

A warmly detailed log retreat from the Original Snow Village, Hunting Lodge (item #54453, issued 1997–1999) celebrates rustic American craftsmanship. Constructed in classic Snow Village scale, it features log walls, stone chimneys, garland-trimmed porch rails, and soft interior lighting that captures the cozy warmth of a winter mountain getaway. This example includes the original box and tested working light cord. Cosmetic notes: visible glaze cracking in snow areas on the roof and a small chip to the rear snow ledge, shown clearly in photos. Otherwise, the structure is sound with intact chimneys and no large cracks. Paint and color remain vibrant throughout. Box has moderate shelf wear. A solid collector-grade example of a late-’90s Snow Village favorite — displays beautifully lit and fits perfectly in lodge, cabin, or rural Christmas layouts.
