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.
