Adirondack Wilderness Lodging

Make yourself at home

Nestled atop the landscape are eight unique cottages and our newly renovated Main lodge all with Adirondack mountain and lake views.

The main lodge at Elk Lake, built in 1904, is a typical rustic example of Adirondack architecture featuring a large fieldstone fireplace with Adirondack and Craft Movement furniture, and is home to the Elk Lake Lodge dining room. The lodge offers six comfortable rooms, each with twin beds and private bath.

Eight private cottages nearby all have Adirondack mountain and Elk Lake views. Each cottage is unique, varying in size and offering seclusion for one couple or larger groups. Each Adirondack cottage has a living room and modern bath. Some of the cottages also have kitchens and fireplaces, giving you all the comforts of home while staying in the Adirondack wilderness.
