A place to return to yourself
Our Story
Born from weekend escapes and a shared dream to create something different, Elka is a love letter to the Catskills—crafted with reverence for the land, the local makers, and the transformative power of quiet.
Why Elka?
Elka exists to offer an alternative to the noisy, over-programmed getaway. Here, guests are invited to slow down, savor the elements, and reconnect—with nature, loved ones, and themselves.
Design Ethos
Elka cabins are minimal but warm, drawing inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese design traditions. Every element—from window placement to material choices—is intentional and in dialogue with the surrounding forest.
