Writer's place in the wilds? (5)

I believe the answer is:

lodge

I believe this is a double definition.

'writer's' is the first definition.
(David Lodge)

'place in the wilds?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for lodge that I've seen before include "Gatekeeper's house" , "Deposit the house at the estate entrance?" , "Masonic association" , "Small gatehouse" , "British physicist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
