Creston is responsible for breakfast, where guests always have the choice of sweet or savoury fare. Our difficult options: waffles à la bananas Foster or a ham, onion and cream cheese omelet. In season, he uses the bounty of their own garden, from tomatoes to edible flowers.
Recently, the lodge has begun hosting occasional weekend yoga retreats led by an experienced instructor from Plattsburgh, and writers’ retreats as well. But there’s plenty else in the area to keep guests occupied – celebrated scenery, local wineries, museums, hiking, kayaking, even urban attractions (Montreal and Burlington, Vermont, are each about an hour away). And when it’s time to wrap up one’s outing, the charm and peace of Point Au Roche Lodge promise a pampered return.
