Ponce Log Lodge; A Private Luxury Lodge Created for Unforgettable Gatherings
Escape to Ponce Log Lodge, a spectacular 6,500-square-foot lakefront retreat set on 2.5 private wooded acres in the gated community of Treasure Lake.
With approximately 400 feet of pristine shoreline, panoramic 180-degree lake views, and no neighboring homes within 300 feet, the lodge offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, luxury, and space.

Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 18 overnight guests, Ponce Log Lodge gives large groups plenty of room to gather without ever feeling crowded. It is an exceptional destination for multigenerational family vacations, reunions, milestone celebrations, executive retreats, strategic planning sessions, team-building getaways, wellness or church retreats, intimate weddings, and other approved small gatherings.

Wildlife at Your Doorstep
Ponce Log Lodge’s 2.5 wooded acres provide wonderful opportunities to experience the wildlife of the Pennsylvania Wilds. Deer are frequent visitors, and guests may also spot black squirrels, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and occasionally black bear. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, but keeping watch from the decks and patio is part of the Ponce Log Lodge experience.
For everyone’s safety, guests may not approach or feed wildlife and must keep food and trash secured.
Kayaking, Fishing and Lake Life: Four kayaks and life jackets are provided for guest use. Paddle through Treasure Lake’s quiet coves, explore the shoreline, or find the perfect spot to watch the sun set over the water.
The two docks and lakeside deck are available for relaxing, swimming, fishing, and enjoying everything lake life has to offer. Fishing is available during both the summer and winter seasons. Pennsylvania fishing regulations apply, and fishing licenses are required.
Whistles must be carried by each person using a kayak. A portable white light is required when kayaking after dark. Families with children should bring properly fitted children’s life jackets.
To protect Treasure Lake from invasive species, guests may not bring personal watercraft, powered or non-powered, into the community.
