Several permanent members of the club have been sold land and permitted to build $100,000 homes in the development, but Grover and Harry have reserved the right to say how the house will be situated, what trees can be cut, and even what kind of roof will be built.

It is Treadway Inns Corp., whose 28 hostels include such disparate stopovers as Nantucket's 120-year-old Jared Coffin House, once a whaler's mansion, a modern downtown motel in the Treadway headquarters town of Rochester, N.Y., and an Alpine chalet in Franconia, N.H., known...
