Within 10 minutes, guests can access downtown Elkton or Newark, the University of Delaware, W.L.Gore, DuPont and many area businesses and attractions.
For approximately 200 years, Elk Forge was the center of an industrious community featuring a Forge, Grain Mill, Saw Mill, Textile Mills and Farms covering over 1,000 acres.
It began as the Elk Forge Company prior to the American Revolution and then was purchased by Daniel Lord and was held by his heirs (the Baldwins) until 1981 when it was purchased by the Lendermans.
Dr. Harry and LeAnn Lenderman (BSRN, MMgt.) renovated and expanded the existing buildings to become the Elk Forge Inn and Spa as you see it today.
Along with Gardens, Landscaping and Natural Beauties of the Woods and River, Elk Forge can help transport the weary travelers and romantics to a more restful age.

Massages
Practiced by numerous cultures for 5,000 years, the benefits of massage have long been appreciated, and with modern research, are now better understood: massage reduces anxiety and decreases production of stress hormones, bolsters the immune system, eases muscle tension and relieves pain, improves circulation and lymph production and drainage, increases flexibility of muscles and joints, aids in the removal of metabolic waste and increases oxygen and nutrient supplies to the cells—you can add to this list after your massage!
Facials
The most abused skin of the body is found on the face and hands—and the first to show the signs of aging, neglect and environmental damage. Careful cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing with natural products can nurture and revitalize these fragile areas, improving the health and appearance of the skin.
A deep cleansing, exfoliation and nourishing treatment for all skin types featuring tea and tisane infused products, rare earths and plant enzymes.
Wraps & Polishes are also available. Visit our website for a full menu of services.
