"This upstate New York retreat, which welcomes guests age 21 and older, was initially built by the Rockefeller family in the early 20th century. Today, the waterfront property pays homage to its past with 19th-century-era artwork and antiques. Each guest room is distinctively decorated with rustic-chic touches like handcrafted beds and en suite fireplaces. Upon arrival, travelers are greeted with a glass of bubbly, setting the scene for a relaxing stay. Guests can also lounge in one of the common areas, watch the sunset from the wooden terraces, sip cocktails in the on-site bars (including the Pub, a fully stocked bar and game room), or cozy up in one of the fireplace lounges. Other options include a gourmet picnic lunch, a dip in the lake, a boat ride, or a scenic hike. The impressive food and drink offerings (three-course lunches and four-course dinners) feature seasonally inspired dishes paired with fine wines from the resort’s private cellar. Also, every Wednesday and Saturday evening, the Point hosts black-tie dinners—extravagant seven-course affairs." - Lauren Dana Ellman
