"For a romantic getaway on Lake George, look no further than Highlands Castle, a family owned and operated hotel that took decades to construct. Design elements include 19th-century stained glass doors, hand-carved wooden knights, a roaring fireplace, European tapestries, cathedral ceilings, and antique furnishings. Best of all, it’s just minutes away from the region’s best beaches, shops, restaurants, hiking trails, and more." - Travel + Leisure Editors
