My niece was married two weekends ago at the Inn at Erlowest on Lake George in upstate NY. On the…read moregrounds of the Inn are a series of lake-front split-level townhouses and smaller villas known as Sun Castle Resort, and that's where the wedding party and family members stayed.
The resort is located about a mile north of Lake George Village, which makes it very close to the outlet malls, Six Flags Great Escape, and all of the wonderful hiking and boating options in the Adirondack Mountain region. You check in up the hill, right as you turn into the property off of Rte. 9, and then drive down, past the stone castle (Inn at Erlowest), and down a steep hill towards the lake. From there you have an assigned parking space, literally feet from the shores of the lake.
My split-level townhome was spectacular with hardwood floors, granite countertops, two separate bedrooms with private bathrooms, a sleeper sofa in the living room, a fully-stocked kitchen, seating for six around a dining room table, washer & dryer, barbecue grill, and two balconies facing the lake. Some of the other townhomes had fireplaces and even more bedrooms for larger groups.
Sun Castle also has private cottage-style villas which are a bit more rustic, but also have the same amazing views of Lake George. These are designed for couples or small families.
On the property you'll find a heated outdoor pool, also overlooking the lake and the mountains. They have a kiddies playground, and free use of the resort's kayaks and rowboats. There are also private sandy beaches along the lakefront, as well as boat launches and dock space.
My niece decided to hold the wedding on a point of land, right next to the lake, and adjacent to the townhomes, and so we were treated to these amazing views of the water and the mountains while enjoying her service.
Fabulous place, and a great little "hidden gem" for those wanting to enjoy a romantic weekend in the Adirondacks.
