The Point
Hotel and restaurant on a lake
The Point was built by the Rockefellers as a woodland retreat, during the heyday of the Adirondack Great Camps. Today it is a marvellous marriage of rustic simplicity and extraordinary luxury. Set on the wooded shore of Upper Saranac Lake, The Point’s magnificent guest rooms are spread among four log buildings; here the silence and peace of the Great North Woods reign supreme. The Point is a study in delicious contrasts: the exceptional meals, the blaze of the campfire on the edge of the dark lake, the fine art and antiques, most of which are original to the camp, and the supply of snowshoes and skis for exploring the magical white forest. Enjoy gourmet picnic excursions, journeys through the rippling waters in gleaming mahogany boats, and a staff that organizes each day according to the pleasure of the guests. ...Read more

The Pitcher Inn
Hotel and restaurant in a village
Above your bed is a blackboard covered in chalk-written algebraic formulae.

There are in-room massages and lots of sport is on offer at the foot of the Sugarbush ski and golf resort. ...Read more
