Located on the southernmost point of Moose Island in Lake Placid, The Point House has been in our family for over 100 years. It now features a newly constructed log-sided home with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a spacious modern kitchen and dining area, and a great room with a fireplace and big-screen TV.

The 2000-square-foot main house is equipped with modern conveniences, including new LG appliances, a washer and dryer, Starlink satellite internet, and big-screen TVs in the great room and master suite. The master suite has a king-size bed, ample storage, and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower and soaking tub. The second bedroom has a queen bed, the third has twin beds, and the fourth offers bunk beds.

The property boasts 270-degree views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Positioned to the south, it enjoys sunshine all day, making it one of the premier locations on the lake. The main house has a full-length deck overlooking the lake, with a covered area for enjoying the view in any weather.

Right on the water, a lovingly restored 1880s cabin features a hand-quarried granite fireplace, a ‘lofa-sofa’ that converts to a queen-size bed, a camp kitchen, and a small bathroom with a composting toilet and washbasin. This cabin can function as either a rustic fifth bedroom or a remote office.

The rental includes a four-slip boathouse (two inside and two outside) with a party deck on top, a lakeside fire pit, gas grill, paddle boat, two paddle-boards, kayak, and firewood. A caretaker is on-call for any needs during your stay.

Access to the mainland is via a dedicated boat slip and parking space at the beautiful Whiteface Club & Resort, where guests are just a short walk from the golf course, two on-site restaurants, a grill, and tennis facilities.

The Point House comfortably sleeps 8 (six adults & two children) and being accessible only by boat, it is the perfect island getaway for families or groups who enjoy boating, privacy, and a true Adirondack wilderness experience—all with the comforts of home.
