“The Inn At Erlowest strikes me as an idyllic spot for couples, with adults-only suites and a truly special igloo dining experience. I picture quiet mornings, maybe a kayak on the lake, followed by dinner at the 4-Diamond Shepards restaurant; it seems a place designed for romance. The proximity to Lake George Village adds convenience, though the real draw is the castle itself.”
