BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE, NY) Henry David Thoreau wrote, "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." From the sandy beaches, breathtaking blue skies and fully-equipped cottages at Prospect Point Cottages on Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks, you'd think the owners and managers here took Thoreau literally. All cottages have heat; some are even equipped with fireplaces. Your lodging includes cozy bedding, plenty of traditional Adirondack throws and blankets tucked inside cedar chests, roomy closets and storage space, immaculate bathrooms, full kitchens, cathedral ceilings and delightful screened-in porches on the pristine Blue Mountain Lake. While relaxing on their private porches, guests take in some of the most breathtaking views the Adirondack area has to offer.
Life vests, canoes and row boats are provided to guests free of charge. Launching occurs from a private beach and quaint playground that are steps from your cottage. Add a warm, family atmosphere of friendly guests (your cottage neighbors that often make friendships and book together for the same dates annually) and a staff that's superbly attuned to anticipating your needs and whipping up a divinely-inspired Adirondack included in the modest rental fee (during October-June 20 only), and you really won’t want to ever leave. Warning: If you don’t want to pack on the pounds from these rich meals, you MUST hit the many on-site and nearby trails right after you dine.
After a day of hiking, biking, touring or paddling, retreat to the centrally-located Main Lodge that’s open 24 hours a day. Here you’ll find a blazing fire, beverages, snacks, WiFi, a sinfully comfortable couch, plenty of cozy chairs, a modest library (where famous guests like author Jonathon Scott Fuqua's novels can be found, among others), games and toys, a lending DVD library and a screen projector for evening movies.
A quick trip down the road leads guests to the famed Adirondack Museum (see the front desk at Prospect Point for discount admission coupons) and the nearby Indian Lake Community Screen and Theatre where $5 movies are available throughout the summer.
If you want a retreat that speaks to your heart and soul, call to book your cottage today, as demand is sometimes higher than space allows. Reasonably priced and nationally-reviewed, this is one slice of Heaven you can't afford to miss. Prospect Point is open year-round.
