The Point

The Point is designated as the only Forbes Five Star property in Upstate New York. Thirty-five years ago it also became the first Relais & Châteaux member of North America. Built by William Avery Rockefeller II a century ago, the lakeside retreat of fanciful log mansions, crafted of native timber and stone, personify the 19th Century romantic notion of “roughing it” in great comfort, style and luxury.

Today, The Point pays tribute to this tradition by honoring guests with its unique combination of gracious hospitality, privacy and thoughtful services in each detail of one’s visit. Enjoy an unforgettable stay at The Point, the only Adirondack Great Camp from the Gilded Age open to the public.

When to go

An autumn or winter getaway at The Point is as quintessential and cozy as it seems, while a spring or summer getaway brings back fond memories of going to camp. We recommend a stay of at least three nights.
