The Point Resort (New York)
The sign says no visitors, but it doesn't really mean it. In fact, it wants visitors (if they've brought a well-oiled checkbook). The Point, a New York state Adirondack Great Camp, one of the most splendiferous of them all and built by a bona fide member of the Rockefeller family, is now a super-luxury resortopen to you, should you have the dough. Once you've made your reservation, you fly into the airport at Saranac Lake, drive 20 minutes, veer onto an unmarked road and proceed down the wooded peninsula until you reach... The Point. Unbeatable canoeing and kayaking, walking and hiking await. And eating: Three gourmet meals a day come with the tariff, as does absolute seclusion and serenity. Which is not to say The Point doesn't hop. On Wednesday and Saturday nights, black tie is recommended for the gents. The pub pours till dawn, at which hour you retreat to your room to find the fire already burning. Children are not allowed at The Point. It is for romantic couples, away from it all.
