Dear Friends,

We are so happy to tell you that Prospect Point is back - ready to welcome you, our wonderful guests, home once more! These last months have been an extremely harrowing experience for all of us, and it is our hope that the timeless Adirondack Mountains will be an antidote to the many stresses most of us have going through lately. We wish we could say that this horrible pandemic is truly behind us, however, we recognize all too well that the disease is far from vanquished, and so our vigilance against spreading it must not lessen one iota. It is paramount that all of us help to maintain each others safety. We can not let our guard down, and should continue to practice physical distancing and keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe until a true cure or preventative is found.

Please know that nothing is more important to us than your family's safety and the safety of our staff. We have been attending - and continue to attend - innumerable online meetings with our local officials, health personnel, Chamber of Commerce, etc., in order to educate ourselves as thoroughly as possible in the best ways of maintaining a safe environment - both indoors and out - in the face of this new disease. We are following the latest CDC guidelines and recommendations. In addition, one of our staff is trained in blood work pathogens, and has been helping to educate us even further in the latest safety protocols. Above all, we hope to avoid the risk of anyone becoming ill -- whether our beloved guests or our wonderful staff and their families. Staying healthy and remaining safe is paramount.

Regretfully, part of that effort means that we are temporarily forced to close the Community Room and suspend our complimentary Spring brunches, as well as the weekly Summertime social activities that so many of us enjoyed. The wonderful ice-cream socials (which always seemed like a big reunion on Sundays!), the famous (some would say infamous ;-) Wednesday night talent shows, and our other optional group activities must sadly be suspended this year. However, just because we can't have our big cottage-wide bonfire down at the beach doesn't mean that your family can't enjoy your own private bonfires and cookouts by your cottage. For so many of you who love the quiet woods and waters as we do - this is certainly the year to drink in a secluded hike in the deep forest or a blissful paddle amid the islands of Blue Mountain Lake's West Bay.

These last few months have changed us all in very profound ways. Too many of us have lost friends or family members to this horrible scourge - wonderful people who should still be here, living their lives and enriching ours. Many others are still battling the disease, or are, thankfully, in recovery. If we can make a wish for the future, it is for all of us to be well, to be kind to each other and cherish those we love, and for this virus to soon be the subject of yesterday's news. Please stay safe everyone, and hope to see you all soon!

- Your Friends at Prospect Point Cottages

Prospect Point Cottages is nestled on the shores of Blue Mountain Lake, a crown jewel of the magnificent Adirondack Park, with a view of the lake and mountains you'll never forget. All our cottages boast large picture windows and porches overlooking the lake. Most have been completely renovated and feature cathedral ceilings, knotty-pine walls and skylights. Some are wheelchair friendly and have fireplaces.

At Prospect Point, there is no regimen or set time; instead, an atmosphere of relaxation and warmth pervades. When you're feeling adventurous, we'll supply you with a map of nearby hiking trails, or point you to some of our favorite canoe haunts. We have a fleet of canoes, rowboats and paddle boats guests are welcome to use. Or you can rent a power boat from the livery a short walk up the road.

You can take a tour of "Great Camp Sagamore", the incomparable northwoods retreat of the Vanderbilts (a National Historic Landmark, 15 miles away), or embark on a fabulous romantic sightseeing, buffet or dinner cruise aboard the W W Durant on nearby Raquette Lake.


Or step back in time and enjoy a guided historic cruise down our own chain of lakes in an antique powerboat. Among the finest small tours in the mountains, it departs several times daily from the Boat Livery right in town.

RETURN to a world of woods and waters, of towering pines and secluded ponds, a world of campfires and stories and laughter, a place where the scent of cedar fills the air, where bear, moose, bobcat and deer roam free and the loon and coyote are still heard at night; a place far from the grind and worry of urban life. At Prospect Point, the wilderness is never far away. It is just outside your cabin door . . .
