The Adirondack Boys

Found a cool new Adirondack blog over the weekend in spite of feverish Oaxaca blogging.

The Adirondack Boys

Welcome to our blog! We are two guys who built a home in New York State’s great Adirondack Park and love to share its treasures with our friends. We have been on the hunt for the best of the Adirondacks in a single place, one great reference for all things fabulous in the Adirondacks. And this is it! We can’t wait to share our Adirondacks with you — from its Great Camps to its great camp. — The Boys

A great addition to our corner of the blogosphere! They probably got some good snow – Yeah! Welcome to the Adirondacks.

The Point – Again, Most Expensive

August 8th, 2006 · No Comments · News

Update Again: The Point Resort is back open for business.

Update: Hi all you PBS watching Adirondack Fans! Just so ya know, The Point was sold.


The Point was again mentioned as one of the world’s most luxurious and costly hotels. Anyone else, sick of hearing this? In all reality, for 99% of the existing world, this place doesn’t even exist. I’m not proud though, you can still donate to my Camp Fund (sidebar).

The Point, a Relais & Chateaux property in the Adirondacks that was once a Rockefeller Great Camp, has just 11 rooms, each with lake views and a chiseled-stone fireplace. Included in the room rate, which starts at $1,250 a night and puts it on our list of the priciest hotels, are activities such as fishing, horseback riding and golfing. All meals and alcoholic beverages are covered; guests fill out a dining survey weeks in advance of their stay to ensure that their desires are catered to.
