A Place to Return to Yourself
Elka is a four-cabin boutique hotel on Mink Hollow Road, tucked into the forest in the heart of the Catskills. Designed for guests who want the privacy of a rental with the thoughtfulness of a hotel. No front desk. No small talk. A creek cold plunge runs through the property, and the tallest waterfall in New York is down the road.
