Our Story - Rock Castle

Our Story.

Rock Castle Resort is one of the loveliest settings in the foothills of the Adirondacks. We are located within steps of the Queen of American Lakes, Lake George. We offer rooms in our historic “Castle” Lodge, as well as 17 beautiful cabin units scattered throughout the property, all newly renovated and updated. Relax on our four picturesque acres, with the scent of floral pines in the air and a beautiful view that is sure to be memorable.

As a new or returning guest, we invite you to enjoy the property and our hospitality. The open space and amenities are wonderful accommodations for a family reunion, weddings, event cookout, and many other functions. We enjoy meeting and knowing our guests and making their stay delightful and memorable.
