This is a remarkable property and a perfect base for an active or laid-back weekend in the Adirondacks. It's a wilderness lodge and the rooms are small and basic, with fans but no A/C, so if your accommodation standard is "Chateau" and you need gilded bedspreads to be happy, this won't suit you. On the other hand, if you keep... More

This is the quintessental wilderness lodge, the setting is heart stopping, dining has great view of lake, staff very friendly and helpful, mind the bells for meals, food is good not great but who cares! Canoes and kayaks ready to go for exploring lake: we saw trout,loons(ok one loon), a beaver lodge 8' tall, mother merganser duck with 10 babies... More

Horrible, needs new beds. Nasty foul suage smell. Duck crap on beach. Other than that not too bad.

We were on day trip, it is awesum.. We are planning on come back with our friends from the south for some R&R.

If you're an "outdoors" person, this place is pretty close to heaven. For 3 glorious days, we hiked on well maintained trails to beautiful mountain overlooks and a secluded waterfall. We canoed beside the loons, beaver huts and blue herons. We even used a rowboat on a more blustery day that brought back memories from my youth. We stayed in... More

Elk Lake Lodge was more rustic than we originally expected, but we found a lot to like. The scenery is beautiful. The lodge sits on 12,000 acres. The lake is pristine, calm and quiet (no motorboats allowed). We enjoyed rowing around the lake, swimming and lots of skipping stones! Folks were fly fishing, and many of the guests enjoyed the...
