Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'hunting' (the activity of pursuing wild animals) with 'lodge' (a small house or shelter): it straightforwardly denotes a small house used for hunting. This noun–noun composition follows common, cross-linguistic compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Hunting lodge comes from the small houses, called lodges, that kings and nobles built near the woods when they went out hunting. So, it means a small, simple house used as a 'temporary shelter' while people hunted.
