Once upon a time, this was Lodge #1 at Elko Lake Camp — the beating heart of a beloved Episcopalian retreat where campers gathered for meals, dances, and lifelong memories. Today, it’s been reimagined as a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that somehow still hums with that same intangible magic — a sense of joy and light that you can’t quite describe, only feel. Set on a ridge just outside of Catskill Park, The Lodge offers all cedar, single-floor living surrounded by sweeping nature in every direction. To the south: meadows catching golden light. To the west: mountain views that turn sunsets into daily events. And from the backyard, an extensive trail network begins — the same trails carved out by campers decades ago, now used for hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, mountain biking, or simply wandering. The adventure truly starts at your back door. Inside, the former “great hall” is still the soul of the home — now transformed into a sprawling, light-filled gathering space that fits a 28-person dining table, a massive living area for fireside nights, and a built-in reading and record nook designed for lingering. The kitchen is generous and social, easily fitting three cooks in motion, complete with a Viking range, pot filler, and plenty of prep space. Two smaller bedrooms offer meadow and mountain views, while the primary suite includes a walk-in closet worthy of envy. A large, spa-like bathroom off the primary provides a steam room shower and double vanity. A larger, tucked-away bedroom in back offers quiet retreat when the day winds down. Outside, the two-story detached garage with electric is as functional as it is full of potential — three bays in front, one in back, nearly 1,200 sq ft on the ground floor, and an additional 680 sq ft above for studio, storage, or future expansion. The Elko Lake Property Owners Association provides private access to Elko Lake (non-motorboat), along with a shared dock, park, pavilion, and a court for tennis, pickleball, and basketball — plus year-round road maintenance, all for a low annual fee. And while The Lodge feels utterly removed, Livingston Manor is only ten minutes away — a perfect blend of wilderness and small-town charm. Spend the morning exploring the Willowemoc Wild Forest or fishing the famed rivers, then head into town for coffee at The Walk-In, provisions from Main Street Farm, a pint at Catskill Brewery, or dinner at The DeBruce or The Kaatskeller. The Lodge is that rare place where nostalgia meets now — where every breeze feels like a memory, and the joy and laughter of summers past are quietly woven into the walls.
