The Point Resort

The experience at The Point is unlike any other. The Point is the former Great Camp of William Avery Rockefeller and although The Point is currently operating as a hotel, we like to make your time enjoyed at The Point as close to that known by the Rockefellers; our residents are more guests in our home rather than at a hotel. Whatever the season there is so much to enjoy right here on property. There are group activities available such as boat outings on Upper Saranac Lake in our 33' classic mahogany Hacker-Craft, sunset cocktail cruises in our 32' ELCO electric launch, and water skiing and group hikes on our two trails or guests can, of course, take our smaller inboards and outboards, canoes and kayaks and on their own little adventure, maybe to a small island for a picnic or spend the day playing tennis, croquet, horseshoes, badminton, and swimming in the lake in the summer. In the winter there are group cross country skiing and snowshoe excursions across the lake, ice hockey games, hiking, sledding and ice fishing or perhaps curl up with a good book or a Stave puzzle and a glass of wine in front of a cozy fire. In the evenings our guests dine together around two dining tables, hosted by the General Manager or his assistant, and enjoy great food, wine and conversation. While there are no menus at The Point and every night our Maître d’Hôtel pairs the perfect wine with each gourmet course, we do always pay special consideration to our guests’ preferences. In keeping with the Great Camp tradition, guests dress for dinner and Wednesday and Saturday nights are a 7-course black tie affair. As always, The Point can suit the needs and desires of all its guests and a more intimate evening can always be arranged. Should guests request a private dining experience, their menu too will be followed course by course, as though it were being served in the Great Hall.
