With the month of November almost entirely behind us, many of our residents have begun to start thinking about what winter getaway they’ll take this year. Up north where the snow falls early, one of New York’s amazing Adirondack towns has so much to offer during our coldest season. Recently recognized by Expedia, Lake George was named one of America’s coziest mountain towns that you’re absolutely going to want to visit this year.
Up in Warren County with a population of under 4,000 residents, the town of Lake George is one that's beautiful to explore during all of New York's seasons.
The Inn at Erlowest is a historic stone castle that sits on a hill that overlooks Lake George, built in the late 1800s this place is unlike anything you'd expect to find in the area.

The rooms inside of the inn all look like they've been pulled out of a storybook, making for cozy accommodations that will make you feel right at home.
