Once the heart of a 1960s sleepaway camp, this former dining and dance hall, known as Lodge #1 at Elko Lake Camp, carries forward the warmth and character of its past. Set on a wooded ridge just outside Catskill Park, The Lodge offers single-floor living surrounded by sweeping nature in every direction, with traces of its camp-era origins visible in every beam and plank.

Stepping into the former great hall, a towering wall of windows floods the room with light, illuminating the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams that define the home’s lodge aesthetic. A classic wood-burning stove set in a stone fireplace anchors the living area, while hardwood floors and wide-plank walls wrap the space in warm wood. The room easily accommodates both dining and gathering within a single, open expanse.

Behind the hearth, the kitchen feels timeless, with granite countertops, a tiled backsplash in red and purple tones, and stainless-steel appliances, including a Viking range and double wall oven. A skylight filters sunlight across the cabinetry and generous prep space.

Tucked away from the living area, three bedrooms frame meadow and mountain views, while the primary bedroom sits beneath slanted ceilings with exposed beams and a walk-in closet. Just off the primary, a full bath features a steam shower and double vanity, while a second shared bath channels mid-century charm with a glass block wall, skylights, and polished chrome accents.

Outside, meadows turn golden at dusk and mountain silhouettes mark the horizon. A small deck extends from the great room, perfect for watching the light shift across the ridge. Beyond the house, raised garden beds border the lawn, and the original camp trail network still weaves through the woods, now used for hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, or quiet wandering. The two-story detached garage adds both utility and potential, with nearly 1,200 square feet on the main level and 680 above for studio, storage, or future expansion.

Membership in the Elko Lake Property Owners Association includes private access to the lake (non-motorized), along with a shared dock, park, pavilion, and courts for tennis, pickleball, and basketball, all just minutes from the forested edge of Catskill Park.

The Lodge at Elko Lake: Elevated Camp Atmosphere

The Lodge’s past life as the heart of Elko Lake Camp lives on through its wood-clad interiors and soaring, beam-lined ceilings. Every surface, from the wide-plank walls to the warm hardwood floors, reflects the rustic character of its camp origins while grounding the home in an atmosphere that feels both timeless and esoteric. At the center, the grand stone fireplace still commands the room like a gathering hearth, a natural focal point beneath the vaulted ceiling and wall of windows that flood the space with light. The open space’s open proportions invite long tables, shared meals, and fireside evenings that echo its former life as a great hall.

Each bedroom carries a subtle bunkhouse nostalgia, with views stretching out over meadows and mountains. The layout feels instinctively social yet serene, equally suited for slow mornings by the fire or dinners that spill from the great room to the mountain-view deck. All around, the surrounding forest, open fields, and distant peaks complete the sense of retreat, a continuation of the camp’s original spirit reimagined for modern living.

The Stone Cottage at Mill Brook in Glen Spey, NY

Set within Black Forest on six wooded acres, the Stone Cottage at Mill Brook blends the permanence of stone construction with the thoughtful precision of modern design. Its cottage-like exterior leads into a 3,400-square-foot home where vaulted ceilings, generous proportions, and carefully chosen finishes define each space. The home’s design balances lodge-like warmth with meticulous detail, from stone masonry and exposed beams to globally sourced finishes and integrated systems.

Through the main entrance, the home opens into an airy living area rising under vaulted ceilings and rustic exposed beams. To the right, a sitting area centers around a grand stone fireplace framed by arched windows and a circular candlestick chandelier. To the left, the kitchen and dining areas offer a space for gathering: marble countertops, gold-toned accents, a six-burner Ilve range with griddle, and an oversized eat-in island. Three tall, narrow doors open directly to the wraparound deck from the kitchen, while the adjacent dining area features built-in cabinetry and a flat archway that reconnects to the foyer.

Its angular form and natural palette give the home a grounded presence in the landscape, bridging artful design with untamed surroundings. Every line and material feels intentional, creating a home that balances architectural rigor with livable warmth.

Enter through the gallery-style foyer and up a low-slung lighted staircase to the upper-level great room, where white oak floors and a wall of windows frame the surrounding forest. A dual-sided fireplace clad in fluted tile anchors the space, its textured surface adding warmth and visual delight.

Across the room, the color-blocked kitchen pairs maple, gray, and soft green cabinetry with a curvy eat-in island beneath reimagined vintage street lamps, and a perforated shroud above the range nods to Norwegian fjords. The home’s design motif continues in the patterned cutouts of the catwalk-style hallway, which connects the upper-level spaces. A bedroom occupies one end of the hallway, while a half bathroom with locally hand-glazed custom tiles and sconces sits at the opposite end.

Notable highlights include mirrored octagonal rooms with oversized windows, marble countertops and eat-in islands, French doors between living and sleeping areas, and a top-floor unit with a deep soaking tub and balcony with sprawling Hudson River views.
