The Point

A pristine lakeside altar under the open sky

For those who wish to exchange vows with the sounds of the lake and the scent of pine in the air, The Point offers an unparalleled outdoor ceremony experience. This manicured lakeside lawn juts out into the water, providing a true 360-degree immersion into the Maine wilderness. It serves as a picturesque natural altar where the horizon and the water meet. Beyond ceremonies, the lawn is a versatile site for tented celebrations or open-air cocktail hours, offering a front-row seat to the region’s legendary sunsets and a starlit canopy for late-night festivities.
