Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“We couldn’t believe how much there was to do. We skied in the morning, played pickleball and used the game room in the afternoon, then relaxed in the jacuzzi at night. It was perfect for our ski team.” – Ray

“Every detail felt intentional. The kids loved the indoor playhouse, the teens claimed the game room, and the adults got to unwind in the hot tub. It was a win across generations.” – Jenn

"It’s one of those rare places where everyone actually puts their phones down. We reconnected in a way we didn’t even realize we needed. The lodge gave us our family back for a weekend.” – Olivia

☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆
Completely renovated from top to bottom, this luxury lodge features seven thoughtfully designed bedrooms crafted for comfort and relaxation. Guests enjoy premium Purple® and organic mattresses, paired with organic duvets and comforters and Supima cotton sheets, ensuring a restorative night’s sleep and refreshed mornings.

Elk Haven Lodge sleeps up to 20 guests. On the first floor, you’ll find the primary suite with a king bed, along with two additional bedrooms, each with a queen. On the lower level, two sleeping suites feature two queen beds and a trundle (with two twin mattresses), and there are two more bedrooms—each with a single twin bed. This layout offers a flexible setup that works beautifully for families, multi-gen groups, retreats, and ski teams. For guests traveling with little ones, we also provide a Pack ’n Play, a high chair, a toddler booster seat, and a first-floor bathtub perfect for younger children.

Each bathroom at Elk Haven Lodge has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. On the main level, the primary suite includes a full bathroom with a large soaking tub, a luxurious walk-in shower, and dual sinks. On the first floor there is also a second full bathroom with a tub—ideal for little ones—and dual sinks serves the two queen bedrooms, and there’s also a convenient half bath off the main kitchen and living area. The lower level features a full bathroom shared by two bedrooms that each sleep up to six guests, plus two additional bathrooms located near the twin bedrooms for added flexibility. All bathrooms are stocked with premium Public Goods toiletries so you can settle in and feel right at home. Each guest receives a freshly folded set of hand towel, bath towel, washcloth, and makeup washcloth upon arrival. A set of eight hot tub towels is available in the lower-level cabinet for guest use.

☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆
The state-of-the-art kitchen and adjoining sitting area provide ample space for relaxed, family-style meals and are fully stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and modern appliances to make cooking a breeze. Between the leather banquettes, dining chairs, and bar seating, the kitchen comfortably seats 17, with an option to expand into the dining room, which currently seats 10 but can accommodate up to 22 with our two additional 6-foot tables—perfect for large gatherings, holiday meals, or multi-family stays.

☆☆ LOUNGE SPACES ☆☆
The main level of the home boasts soaring ceilings in the den with exposed rafters and a clear view of the pond. There are three separate indoor lounge spaces around the property: one on the main level, one on the lower level and one on the side of the pickleball court.

The main-level lounge boasts expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, offering sweeping pond views from the comfort of the sofa or cozy chairs. The space also features a large flat-screen TV and a decorative fireplace.

The lower-level lounge is a bright and airy gathering space with 9-foot ceilings and a large wall of doors and windows providing views similar to those upstairs. It includes a big-screen TV and a small collection of games stored in the cabinet beside the fireplace. The fireplace is decorative while new panels are being installed.

☆☆ GAME SPACES ☆☆
A full-size indoor pickleball court (located in a separate garage) comes complete with a spectator lounge, making it a favorite gathering spot year-round. Inside, the game room delivers nonstop entertainment with air hockey, a dual arcade featuring 6,000+ games, and a basketball pop-a-shot. Little ones have their own bit of magic too: a charming indoor playhouse with a kitchenette, a whimsical “mouse door,” Lincoln Logs, and imaginative toys designed to spark hours of pretend play.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
Even with so much to do nearby, the lodge offers its own private outdoor oasis: soak in the hot tub under string lights, take in pond/nature views from the decks, or gather around the firepit for s’mores. Bring your fishing gear for catch-and-release in the stocked pond (bass, catfish, sunnies), explore the quiet creek, or paddle out in the kayaks from April through October. Whether you're here for adventure or slow moments in nature, there’s something for every guest.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly LeDonni

Host profile image
My husband and I are from Bucks County, PA and have been coming to this area for decades, 40 years for me and 25 for him. It’s a place our family has returned to year after year to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time together. From sunsets and bonfires to teaching our kids to ski at Elk Mountain Ski Resort, hosting allows us to share what makes this area so special and invite others to create meaningful memories of their own here.

Why they chose this property

After nearly a decade of searching, this quiet corner of Union Dale stood out for its natural beauty, privacy, and small-town feel. Set on 20 acres and surrounded by woods, a peaceful pond, and mountains peeking through the evergreens, the setting feels tucked away while still being just 5 minutes from Elk Mountain Ski Resort.

What drew us here most was the balance. Peaceful and scenic, yet close to year-round outdoor activities, it’s a place where days move a little slower, nature is always present, and it’s easy to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the people you’re with.

What makes this property unique

This home offers a rare combination of thoughtful indoor spaces and immersive outdoor experiences, all on one private property. Nearly everything inside has been renovated with intention, creating places to gather, relax, and enjoy time together in every season.

What truly sets it apart is the range of experiences for all ages, including an indoor heated pickleball court, game room, and lower-level bar with hot tub access, as well as an indoor playhouse with a hidden mouse door. Outdoors, guests can explore walking paths with bridges over creeks, kayak or fish on the private pond, or simply unwind on the deck swings surrounded by woods and mountain views.

It’s a place designed for connection, comfort, and variety where every guest can find their own way to relax and have fun.
