"The Point Resort in Saranac Lake offers a luxurious, rustic experience with 11 rooms housed within four log cabins—an elegant choice for a cozy Adirondacks stay." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"Occupying 75 acres of Saranac Lake shoreline and run as a plush Relais & Châteaux property, this fiercely private, all‑inclusive retreat is accessed via a five‑mile single‑lane road and a locked gate reserved for guests. The intimate property has only 11 lake‑view rooms with fireplaces, is furnished with antiques and fine art, and offers nightly multi‑course communal dinners in a Great Hall; guests are sometimes fetched from the nearby regional airport. A formal dress code governs most evenings (cocktail attire generally, black tie on select nights). Reopened in 2018 after a multimillion‑dollar renovation, it typically welcomes guests 21 and older (unless booked exclusively), operates late May through December 2024 with limited winter dates, and all‑inclusive rates for two start around $2,650 per night, covering meals, afternoon tea, wines and spirits, and use of sports equipment and facilities." - Suzanne Rowan Kelleher
"Set on 75 acres of Saranac Lake shorefront, this renovated Adirondack Great Camp—originally built by William Avery Rockefeller and updated with a multimillion-dollar restoration in 2018—operates as a secluded, all‑inclusive Relais & Châteaux escape with only 11 rooms, each offering a lake view and a fireplace. The property preserves Gilded Age grandeur with antique furnishings and fine art, enforces strict privacy (a gated, guests-only approach and no signage), and provides highly attentive service, including private transfers for guests who arrive by plane." - Laura Dannen Redman, Lyndsey Matthews
"What’s to love: Go back in time to the Great Camp era of the late 19th century and experience a harbinger of American glamping at William Avery Rockefeller’s former private estate, The Point, in Upper Saranac Lake. Sleep in one of four rustic log houses, where guestrooms feature period furnishings, a roaring stone fireplace, and bonafide Rockefeller relics. Take to the forested lakeside grounds for active pursuits, from curling, snowshoeing, and ice skating in winter to hiking, waterskiing, and boating in summer. Romance factor: Impeccable hospitality and bucolic surroundings recreate a lost-in-time glamor. Staff stand at the ready to pour glasses of sparkling wine and serve an array of gourmet snacks throughout the day—the all-inclusive policy and culinary excellence of noted chef Loïc Leperlier and his team make it hard to say no. In the tradition of the Rockefellers, nightly dinner is an elaborate, formal affair and a chance to dress to impress, namely on black-tie Wednesdays and Saturdays. There’s plenty of romance during the day, too. Anticipate morning mimosas at the private ice bar over frozen Upper Saranac Lake in winter. Come summer, indulge in a private, multi-course lunch at Camp David, a tiny cabin hidden within The Point’s network of nature trails, as well as picture-perfect sunset cruises on a vintage wooden boat. Get there: Direct Cape Air flights from Boston and New York City to Saranac Lake, NY with complimentary transportation to and from The Point; about a five-and-a-half-hour drive from New York City or Boston" - Paul Rubio
"Built as a retreat by William Avery Rockefeller, The Point is an all-inclusive resort on 75 acres of property in the Adirondacks, off of Saranac Lake. Rustic comforts like log mansions with fireplaces make this resort a peaceful, relaxing getaway—perfect for roasting marshmallows, reading a good book by the fire, or trying the outdoor activities: picnics and boating in summer, ice fishing and skiing in winter. Here, you'll experience a simple, secluded stay with sparkling views of the lakeshore and surrounding nature—the perfect location to wile away your days in quiet comfort." - Jamie Spain
