-------------------------------
A funky yet modern vibe—refreshingly weird might be one way to describe it.

It is an architectural rarity with lots of luxury. It was originally designed and built by an architect / land developer. The original glory is still largely in tact with a bit of a updated and modern flair. After having spent hours in the property I still walk through it with a bit of wonder and awe. It's a tad odd but a bit awe inspiring.

Come on and enjoy the oasis; take in the architectural awe in all its weirdness!

NEIGHBORHOOD
The property is in a relatively quiet area. There are other houses around, some of which you can see. However you have relative privacy and your own oasis.

Circuses (lol), hoedowns, loud parties, big music speakers, lots of screaming and hollering does not contribute to that. By all means have fun and enjoy yourself but just be mindful. The property and neighborhood is amazing.

This is not the place to live it up and cause havoc. Rather it is the place to come and relax, connect with friends and family, be refreshed, have fun, get exercise, play some competitive games, go swimming, steam yourself with the sauna, roast marshmellows around the firepit, etc etc. Have fun by all means but just consider your surroundings. Cheers!

Our goal is to create a resort / retreat for you to disconnect from normal life and create memories with your friends and family. Memories are timeless. We would love to accommodate memories you can cherish for a lifetime.

Route 209 is closeby which has grocery stores, dining, hardware stores, shopping and much more.

Some of the common vendors within a few mintues are:
★ Wawa
★ Taco Bell
★ Dunkin Donuts
★ McDonalds
★ Dominos Pizza
★ CVS
★ Tractor Supply
★ Price Chopper
★ Perkins Restaurant & Bakery
★ Autozone

For the basics, its all within minutes.

Cozy and Inspiring
We loved the relaxing feel of the place as well as the interior design and inspiring art direction for the rooms. I choose this place as I wanted wellness amenities for me and friends, as well as close distance to hiking trails and it was the perfect spot for that. I also liked that the place has sectioned-off areas for quiet and downtime.

Amazing House - could even be better!
This house was amazing. We had a large group with a lot of kids, and we had a great weekend. However, pool areas did not have locks, and the alarms that were intended alert entry into pool area only worked for one pool. I would also characterize this house as 8 bedrooms vs 9. One of the bedrooms doubled as a hallway connecting the two main areas of the house. It worked for us but could be challenging if you wanted a bit more privacy.

Beautifully unique home
This is not your typical vacation rental. Elam goes above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay to the max. There are so many little personal touches that are fun to discover and you will not be at a loss of things to do, from a beautiful sauna, hot tub and pools to game rooms stocked with games, books and lovely lounge areas. The kitchen is well stocked with the basics plus extras that I don't typically see in rentals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great spot with awesome amenities!
We loved the (2) pools, sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge! The architecture of the house is really cool and has some really cool themed rooms. Elam was a great host and was easy to communicated with from the start. We really enjoyed our time here with friends!

Guys' Ultimate Fun Spot: Elam's Place
Just had the most epic time at Elam's Place! Seriously, this spot is off the charts. First off, the pools – indoor and outdoor! Spent hours splashing, and just soaking up the sun. It's like having your own private waterpark! The mystery room is super fun! Such a cool twist to an already killer stay. But wait, there's more. Board games, and so much more – you name it, they've got it. Plus, grilling up a storm under the stars? Absolutely nailed it. The accommodations were spot-on too – comfy beds and plenty of space to chill after a day of non-stop action. Seriously, Elam's Place blew us away. If you're looking for the ultimate guy's getaway, this is it. Counting down the days till our next adventure!

Very unique, so many options!
This place is WOW in so many ways! There is so much fun for both the kids and adults. The mystery room was a highlight. The swimming pool was endless fun, as well as the games. The place is so big and you almost get lost in it. Even after a few days we still felt like we could explore. Its beyond amazing! We did not want to leave. It is so restful and rejuvenating. The in-law quarters are great if you want to spend some time away from your group. Great neighborhood! Lots of interesting places close by. The host was very helpful and responsive, and the stay was fabulous from beginning to end. Strongly recommended, would like to go again!
