The Point Resort

History

The Adirondack Great Camps. Built along rugged shorelines between ancient forests and shining mountain lakes, in the late 1800s and the early part of this century, they were sumptuous retreats for the very wealthy and their friends.

None was more lavish or expressed more fully the collage of mountain charm and luxury sought by their owners than The Point. Painstakingly constructed on ten acres of peninsula stretching into Upper Saranac Lake, The Point was originally Camp Wonundra, the home of William Avery Rockefeller. There, in the heart of the vast Adirondack wilderness, he lived quietly and entertained in the gracious style of The Great Camp era. The Point combines that tradition of honoring guests with its unique combination of warm hospitality, grace and rustic elegance.
