I will admit I am more of a beach kind of girl…but today I am dreaming of escaping to the luxury lake front resort, The Point, in the Adirondacks.
A throwback to a different era when the wealthy magnates of the Gilded Age retreated to the mountains to breath the crisp mountain air and swim in the refreshing lake, The Point was originally the home of William Rockefeller. It kind of gives a whole new meaning to the idea of “roughing it”…

Doesn’t this look like a perfect place for a summer weekend?
Where is your wanderlust taking you today??
I LOVE The Point in Saranac! JFK Junior used to go there too! THis and the Lake Placid Lodge are wonderful and what a peaceful setting.
What a gorgeous spot. Just sent your link to the Mister. It would be beautiful in the Fall.
I too am a seaside type of girl because I grew up in L.A. and the ocean was always my destination for cooling off, but now that I live in Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes (and more, I believe!), I have come to appreciate and admire the lakesides that are flanked by the most gorgeous lake homes and cabins you'd ever want to see. TAKE ME NOW, SANDY! Anita
Gorgeous, Sandy! I'm a seashore girl, too, but have always wanted to take Mr. H. to The Point because I think it's the perfect combination of his love of a more forested lakeside retreat and my love of comfort and luxury.
My wanderlust is taking me to Provence right now – with the Tour de France underway and memories of our adventures there last summer, I'm wishing we had a Provencal retreat planned… maybe next year!
XOXO
This is a place I would love to visit.
Now that's my idea of the perfect "rustic" vacation!
Sandy a very good friend of mine goes every single year and last year invited us to go with them, (they go with a big group) and take over the place. Unfortunately it hasn't worked out but i am really hoping possibly next summer, we can work it out if I plan ahead of time…it looks amazing and she said it is unlike any other resort they have ever been to. Beautiful pics!!
It's on my list!!!! The fact that it's in NY makes it a someday "must do"! I had the lovely privilege of staying at a private retreat, very similar to this one, that used to belong to the Merriweather Post family. Remind me to tell you about it! 🙂
xoxo Elizabeth
Dearest Sandy! HELLO! Thank you for coming by to visit Sandy, and yes, I can't wait to see what everyone has to share as I take my European vacation with you all! Big hugs, Anita
I'm also a beach-kinda-gal but with a place like this? I'll trade it anytime!
Love The Point and hope to stay there one of these days! It looks like a perfect spot to celebrate with family and friends. I really love spots that have that old world allure where every need seems to be met elegantly~
