The Glen Choga Lodge is a historic lodge in rural Macon County, North Carolina. It is located in a clearing on the south side of Little Choga Road (North Carolina Route 1402), in Nantahala National Forest. The lodge is a large U-shaped two-story log structure with a metal roof. The Glen Choga Lodge is the only saddle notched Adirondack-style lodge made of Wormy Chesnut Logs known to still exist. It was built in 1934–35, at a time when Little Choga Road was a major route between Franklin and Murphy, North Carolina. The builders were Alexander Breheurs Steuart and his wife Margaret Willis Hays; they operated the lodge as a summer vacation destination until 1941 and the United States entry into World War II. It did not reopen for commercial use after the war, and has been converted into a private summer residence.
