A Relais & Châteaux property regularly ranked on Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious annual “Gold List,” it has also been honored consistently for the past five years as the top resort in the country by the Zagat Guide to Top U.S. Resorts.  The Point was built as a “rustic” retreat for the William Avery Rockefellers, who relished the quiet mountain splendor as a peaceful counterpoint to their busy life in Manhattan. Originally furnished with antiques and carpets that overflowed from the family’s city residences, in addition to local pieces befitting the mountain environment, it now retains the same gracious, eclectic style for present-day visitors. The peaceful setting is enhanced by exceptional multi-course dining from the talented Chef Kevin McCarthy – a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America – personal service, and a variety of recreational pastimes that make one feel like a guest at one of the fabled “Great Camps of the Adirondacks” – harking back to that far-away world of Teddy Roosevelt and Edith Wharton, where relaxation and romance were taken very seriously.
