The Lodge at Chateau Elan is a much less expensive alternative for overnight stays than the main inn. It's not a luxury inn, but it is clean, relatively new and well kept up. Rooms are of an average size with the usual amenities. They also have a pool, WIFI internet access and offer a free continental breakfast in the mornings. A shuttle runs all the time between the Lodge and Chateau Elan, so you can park your car and leave the hassles of driving behind you. The Lodge is just across the street from the main grounds of Chateau Elan, so it's not like you're far from anything. Parking is ample, the staff was friendly and with advance notice they do let pets stay.
