Your Own Personal Ski - Skate - Fishing LODGE!

Experience the difference of Morcom’s Mountain Lodge, a new and beautiful property, complete with the amenities you deserve! JAN 2024 UPDATE - Property has just been upgraded with all New Paint, New Vinyl Plank Flooring, Couches, Sectionals and a NEW Pennsylvania Live Edge Wood Epoxy Table. New professional photos coming soon. See last few photos of the Vinyl Plank Flooring. Morcom’s Mountain Lodge gives you an exquisite Modern Contemporary style complete with Real Pennsylvania Woodworking and mountain cabin/lodge feels. Lodge includes local artist Frank Krantz’s REAL Rosignol Ski’s Coat Rack and Mirror, and the Real PA Wood Table, Benches and Storage Bench. These finishes make this a one-of-a-kind residence that is extremely quiet and tranquil. This is a True 3-Bedroom home with a Furnished Basement that also has a Futon that sleeps 2 and a large sectional and couch, perfect for kids to sleep on. Someone said our property was listed as a 4-Bedroom because of the Basement so just wanted to clarify that. 3 Blueberry Trees line the property so feel free to pick and eat. Deer will come by and take some as well. Complete with New paint, New carpet and memory foam pad throughout. Graduation Parties, Company Retreats have used our place. Just need ALL info ahead of time and go over logistics. Tennis Courts are on site in our development for your use, as well as the 8-acre lake and Beach area complete with amazing views and located just 150 steps from Morcom's Mtn Lodge and beach area has a large outdoor Fire Pit and picnic tables.

Only play DVDs so bring some or we have 13 DVDs to choose from. Verizon has Cell Service at the house, but ATT works the best in the area.
The Private 8-acre Elk Meadows Lake is a shared lake with the other homes in Elk Meadows. 10 min walk around the whole lake. Literally across the street 100-steps is the raised 8-acre lake. We are NOT Lakefront. The Elk Mountain Ski Trails photo is from the beach area of the lake which is 150-steps away and produces some high quality photos so bring your camera’s. You can hike Elk Mountain in the Spring anytime you want. Largemouth Bass and various panfish and bluegills are present! By PA law, even your own private lakes require a fishing license. So yes you are supposed to have a license and Game Wardens do come by. Homeowners are active on the lake. Feel free to use the Lake and any of our equipment listed for fishing, swimming, skating etc. We do have a Stand Up Paddle Board and a Kayak with paddle for you to use. They are kept in our garage and you can carry them over or put in your suv or truck to the Beach Area. But they must be put back in our garage. No power boats allowed on lake.
We have 3 NEW Basic Fishing Poles with tacklebox complete with hooks, bobbers, jigs and bait bucket. We do recommend your bring your own fishing equipment as Equipment does break from other guests. PA Fishing license website is fishandboat dot com.

You cannot beat the location of this cabin if you're looking for time on the slopes or some GREAT Ice Fishing. We do supply an ICE AUGER, 2 Tip-Ups, fishing poles, Ice Scoop, and Bait bucket. Lake is FULL of Largemouth Bass and tons of Perch and Crappie. If you want to Ice Fish, but don't know how, we have local Fisherman that may come over for a fee.

Elk Mtn Lodge
Great place to stay. Cannot get any closer to Elk Mountain. Fireplace kept us warm. Beautiful home inside and out. The host left so many condiments (bottle of wine, etc.). Only downside was the strange showers & was very muddy due to the weather, not the hosts' fault of course. Dennis H

Great place to stay in the area!
We had a WONDERFUL stay at this lovely home! The owner was amazing! When we arrived there was a fantastic guide to all things in the area along with anything you needed to know about the house in a lovely notebook. The home location was perfect! We went skiing at Elk Mountain and rented our ski equipment from Guenther's ...both were less than a 8 min drive from the home! The house has all the accommodations you need for a GREAT time in the area!

Great Stay
We really enjoyed the rental. The guidebook was very helpful as well as the host. It was a quick trip to Elk Mountain. After a day of skiing, it was nice to park the car in the garage and use the wood stove. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed playing games and watching tv.

Perfect stay for a nearby family event
My husband and I stayed for 4 days so that we could be near family for a wedding. The home was great - comfortable furniture in the living room, the kitchen had everything we could need, and more, the beds were comfortable and the 2 bathrooms were spotless. There were a few televisions that looked amazing, but we didn't have time to take advantage of them. The host was helpful with information ahead of time so that we didn't need anything while we were there. I forgot my Kindle when we left, and he quickly offered to send it to me - it was much appreciated! The area nearby is beautiful - scenic countryside that is great for biking, and Elk Mountain for hiking (or skiing in season). There is a great rail trail that we accessed from Cables General Store in Uniondale. Cables had seating outside near a waterfall and the trail, and had amazing gourmet quiche, sandwiches and snacks. This home was just the right combination for us to have lots of time outdoors and a quiet place to be near family.

Awesome Pet Friendly Family Getaway Near Elk Mtn
This was perhaps our best VRBO stay - we travel often with our dogs and the hosts have made this a perfect pet friendly getaway. It would be an excellent rental for family and friends all year round. We cannot wait to return!

Great house with everything we needed!
We had 5 adults in our party to attend a family reunion in town. The house is cozy and cute with everything you need. Great cabin feel to it. The lake with the view of the mountain is great. 11 minute drive to Elk Mountain which we hiked twice. Would definitely come back!
