Stay in comfort surrounded by nature.
Elk Branch Lodge is very secluded and remote; yet it's an easy drive from the DC-Baltimore metro area. This five-bedroom/three-bath home is situated in the historic Shenandoah Valley on 120 acres of wooded and pastoral land, surrounded by public forest.

Enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer.
Bring your mountain bike, canoe, fishing rod, hiking gear, and binoculars. We have a well-marked trail system for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking. The adjacent public land also offers miles of public hiking trails, and a 205-acre fishing lake. The lake is also a great place for canoeing. Box stalls and a pasture are available, if you want to bring a horse. Horse rental can be arranged upon request. View complete list of amenities.

You can spend the day visiting Civil War sites, antiquing at local shops, or golfing at one of the many local golf courses. View list of local attractions.

If you are just looking for a place to reflect and read a book, we specialize in peace and quiet. The evenings offer beautiful sunsets, wildlife viewing, a whip-poor-will serenade, and a relaxing soak in the hot tub -- followed by reflecting by a crackling fire. The lodge is also a great place for a romantic getaway.
