It was deemed "significant for its architecture as an excellent example of a vernacular Rustic design influenced by the Adirondack Rustic style, popularized in the Adirondack region of northern New York from 1870 to 1930. Built in 1929, the 22-room summer camp uses native building materials and designs in the context of the mountainous natural environment of the Helena National Forest to evoke a sense of rugged, rustic craftsmanship. Lincoln Lodge is also significant for its associative link with the original owner, Leonard Lambkin, a locally prominent entrepreneur who actively promoted tourism and recreational opportunities in Lincoln."[2]

It is a two-story, gable-roofed log building on a concrete foundation, about 32 by 80 feet (9.8 m × 24.4 m) in plan. Around 1960 it was expanded by a one-story ranch style addition which holds a motel office and residence for the owner.[2]
