    Goddard Shelter in VT has or had a great view. its also in wilderness area with quite a walk in from the road so less prone to partying.

    Hard to beat Madison Hut and Lake of the Crowds Hut in the whites with Greenleaf Hut right behind. Definitely hard on the wallet.

    Personally, although I prefer my tent or hammock, I like having the shelter option. But too many of them are rodent-infested and/or party spots. They're expensive to build and maintain, yada, yada, yada.
    Did someone say rodents?

    Yeah, more manicured tent areas and fewer shelters might be all right.
