An Adirondacks Christmas Tree
This stunning tree must be at least twelve feet tall!** It graces the main gathering room of The Point, the former Adirondacks "Camp" of William Rockefeller, now the most fabulously luxurious hotel in Saranac Lake, New York -- one of our very favourite places to come and be shamelessly pampered. We're here to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary (tomorrow!).
Here is a great description of our home for the next three days:
"In the vast wilderness of the Adirondack Park, Gilded Age magnates built magnificent palaces made of logs. Sumptuous retreats that married luxury to nature. Some were lavish, some simple, but none expressed more fully the collage of mountain charm than The Point. Painstakingly constructed on 75 acres of peninsula stretching into Upper Saranac Lake, The Point was originally Camp Wonundra, the home of William Avery Rockefeller. There in the heart of the deep woods, he lived quietly and entertained in the gracious style of the Great Camp era."
** Update: I asked how tall the Christmas tree is, and was informed it is a whopping 18 feet!
