Elk Lake Lodge is at the heart of a 12,000-acre private preserve amid the Adirondack Park High Peaks Wilderness. The lodge is a unique example of construction with vertical pine logs and large hand- hewn beams from the Preserve.

The Owners undertook a building project to ensure the longevity of the original Lodge structure that included completing the following: 

•   The re-building of the foundation and new floor framing at the first floor to ensure structural stability and proper insulation and heating for the future. 

• The restoration of the original vertical log wall construction to retain their exposure. 

• The complete installation of a sprinkler system integrated into the log structure included removal of and reinstallation of original logs and the ceiling to restore the original history. 

• The rebuilding of the wrap around porch to maintain original features of the lodge. 

• The re-siding with cedar shakes and Marvin windows and Doug Fir Entry door.  

• The expansion of a small library for quite reading and small group gatherings. 

• The complete safety upgrade of the electrical and plumbing systems to bring it current with today’s building code.
