Point Au Roche Lodge

I’m a frequent business traveller and usually stay at an Embassy Suites or Marriott. But this week while on travel in Plattsburgh NY we chose the Point Au Roche Lodge.
I’m really impressed. It’s about a twelve minute drive from downtown, and it’s located in, or right next to a park (point au Roche).
It’s December, there’s a wonderful warm huge sitting room with a fireplace, where we sat and talked for hours. There’s beer and wine available.
In the morning eat breakfast (citrus French toast) and pick up the binoculars for bird watching.
Don’t expect brand new fixtures. Expect a host who knows your name, a super clean and comfortable bedroom and bathroom, and nature.
Point au Roche lodge is serene. It made our trip more of a vacation, and I want to come back here with my family.

Wonderful, peaceful, beautiful, immaculate. I loved our stay at this B&B. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I was impressed at how quiet and peaceful it was, despite being at full occupancy.
Cannot say enough about the gourmet breakfast! Citrus French toast, cooked perfectly.
I would absolutely stay here again, and my compliments to Karen and Creston on what a great spot they’ve made for a true getaway.

Me and my boyfriend choose Pointe Au Roche Lodge for a weekend getaway/​birthday weekend. It was the most relaxing weekend We’ve ever had. The room was gorgeous and so were the views. Karen and creston do an amazing job especially with breakfast. And having the trails right across the street were amazing. It was so nice to just go for a walk on a trail to the point and see a gorgeous lake view and mountains 300 degrees around you. The bed and the sheets was amazingly soft and the hot tub was so nice. It was one amazing weekend and the lodge made it that much better. If you are looking for a place to stay, relax, and get an amazing breakfast you want to go here!

We chose Point Au Roche Lodge as the central point for a family reunion/​birthday party for the matriarch of a clan that grew up nearby but now stretches coast to coast. It was absolutely perfect — each of us had lovely rooms, and the big central lounge area was a great spot to gather between meals and activities. Karen and Creston keep the place immaculate, and the breakfasts were so good that we were wishing they had a dinner service.
Even if we got dumped on with rain that made hiking and other outdoor activities unsavory, we still came away feeling relaxed and renewed. Hoping that all future family reunions will take place at the Lodge…

A few miles outside of the city and across the road from one of the country’s newest and pristine state parks.
The rooms are spacious and cozy inside a modern log estate. Each with a large private bath, sitting area and balcony with chairs and table.
Views out to the fields through meticulously maintained grounds add to the visual appeal.
Breakfast was amazing, with fresh fruit, juices, and a choice of French toast or a leek, ham, cream cheese omelette.
Fortunately the park, beach and walking trails are right across the road to help burn off breakfast!
The main lodge area is a cavernous log frame, with loft rocking chairs looking out to the park and Lake Champlain beyond.
Grab a book (or your Nook) and relax!

This is a wonderful Bed and Breakfast located about an hour south of Montréal — right across the street from Point Au Roche State park. The owners are delightful, friendly and fun. Breakfast is included and it’s always delicious.
The great room is immediately welcoming and the individual quarters are all lovely. Some have hot tubs and/​or fireplaces, but if you’re expecting to watch TV, you’re out of luck. They do have wifi, so if you need to watch something, bring a device.
If you’re traveling for business, this is a wonderful alternative to the generally lousy local hotels in Plattsburgh. If you’re looking for a great place to get away and relax, go to the Point Au Roche Lodge. You won’t be disappointed.

Being a new ‘yelper’, I’m a little surprise that there isn’t a review already so I will add my review from another site posted in January 2008.
It’s been 10 and 11 years since our first visits and 1 since our most recent, but not our last. On our second visit to the Lodge I proposed to my wife. Unfortunate circumstances brought us back to Plattsburgh last year, but staying at the Lodge was a foregone conclusion for us.
I called to make the reservation for last year’s trip and explained that we had been there before. The proprietor asked if I had a room preference based on our earlier trips and I was delighted to learn the very first room (our favorite) was available.
In the time between our visits the ownership had changed hands. This change in ownership has had no negative consequences from our experience. In our conversation the new proprietors told me about trip advisor and I am only now making good on my promise to add my two cents. The new proprietors were delighted to hear about the events and memories of our first trips and gave us an update on the original owners — who complimented us with a bottle of Champaign upon learning we just got engaged upstairs.
The Lodge has not changed since our very first visit. I will not try to provide a better description than previous reviewers as they have already done a far better job than I could. I can only echo their comments. The great room with fireplace is a serene place to ‘get away’. There is also a photo album with contributions from previous visitors. I am only sorry I have no contribution to make.
The breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Meeting others on their travels and sharing each other’s stories makes the Bed and Breakfast experience truly special. Couple this with the special memories we have there is no other place for us when we visit the region.
