History
The inn was constructed in 1898 as part of Millionaires Row on the lake. The stone mansion served as a residence through the 1960s, when Charles Wood expanded the property to include Sun Castle Resort. The building was then sold to the current owners, who renovated the interior into its current form as a lakefront resort.

Stop what you're doing right now and book the Inn at Erlowest as your wedding venue. I cannot even put into words how PERFECT, amazing and truly magical my wedding day was because of the Erlowest. Julianna and Alexis are AMAZING and helped me throughout my entire wedding planning process. I specifically emailed Julianna back and forth every week for over a year and a half before my wedding. Julianna and I had hundreds of emails back and forth to each other. She answered every single one of my questions and always had the answer for me, she is amazing. She is such a sweet, down to earth person and beyond organized and answers emails so quickly; she is a gem and made my entire wedding planning process stress free. Julianna and Alexis helped out so much the day of my wedding, always smiling and calm which helped calmed my nerves knowing I was in good hands. My guests will not stop raving about how spectacular our wedding was. I cannot even count how many of our friends and family said that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to (and we are from New Jersey, where we go over the top with weddings). The food was beyond spectacular. Everything we ate was phenomenal and the chef blew it out of the water and nothing like any wedding food I have ever had. We had guests telling us it was the best food at a wedding they have ever had. My wedding was beyond beautiful and absolutely perfect and not one little thing went wrong, all thanks to the Erlowest staff. Juliana, Alexis, Laurie, Jo were all such a joy to work with and be around all weekend, always smiling and accommodating to all of my guest and I's needs. Besides the staff being absolutely magnificent, the location of the Erlowest is everything and more. I was married right on the water and boy was it a dream location. My wedding pictures are breathtaking and I will recommend this venue to every single bride I

Best place on the Lake!
When looking for a wedding venue on Lake George, the Inn at Erlowest was quickly to to the top of our list after seeing the gorgeous Inn and hall. The point on the lake was exactly what we wanted for our wedding, but there was a perfect back up plan in case of weather. The very best thing for us was the benefit that all of our family and friends could stay right on sight at Sun Castle Resorts and the Inn! From the moment we met Jordan she was incredibly professional, responsive and made everything as easy as possible for us. Our wedding was nothing short of incredible. I had a few hiccups had to hold things up for a VIP guest - Jordan helped to me keep me and everyone with me calm and reassured. I cannot thank her enough for helping to make my day as stress free, fun, and enjoyable as possible. The food was spectacular. Everyone continues to raved about the entire weekend and wedding day every time we see them. From start to finish the staff made the planning process as easy as they could for us, and made the weekend one to remember and talk about for years to come. Choosing this as your wedding site will be one of the best decisions you make!
