For coddled canines needing to get away from it all, The Point welcomes them warmly – in the style to which they are accustomed.   

Up in the Adirondacks, The Point (among the top 10 U.S. hotels in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2004 Best Hotels in the World issue) caters to four-legged guests, as well as their human escorts looking for rustic alpine luxury.  There is no bare-bones sense of style to the accommodations at these Relais & Châteaux resorts.  In a traditional “Great Camp” mountain setting, harking back to a time when Man’s Best Friend was the boon companion of every hunting excursion, dogs are as welcome as people.  From the time the historic Adirondack camps and resorts were built, furry guests have had the freedom to wander through the vast, wooded mountain properties with their clear, inviting lakes and miles of trails offering endless opportunities for exploring, game stalking, and raccoon chasing.  Alternatively, toasty hearthsides and quiet nooks offer as many excellent napping opportunities.   

The resort’s resident Golden Retriever, Buddy, is always on hand as a canine host, ensuring that others are made right at home.  Warm, cozy beds and handsome ceramic food and water bowls handcrafted locally exclusively for The Point are placed in the room prior to arrival; if a dog gets attached to them, the bowls are available for purchase in the Gallery.  Those who are patient enough to wait the duration of a seven-course dinner will even be rewarded with the real stuff and juicy bones; and to mark a special occasion, the kitchen will prepare an exclusive meal to suit the tastes of the dog of honor.    

Upon arrival, dogs are encouraged to check-in with their owners as their security deposit triggers a barking order to deliver the canine welcome amenity:  a dog bone.  For dogs of discriminating tastes looking for a change of scene without sacrificing luxury, The Point is the destinations of choice that host with a canine touch. 

The Point, Lake Placid Lodge and The Inn of The Five Graces, all operated by The Garrett Hotel Group, are members of Relais & Châteaux, the prestigious international association of privately owned hotels and restaurants embodying the highest culinary standards and the French “art de vivre.”
