An architectural master piece made from giant Eastern Spruce logs featuring full scribe notch and dovetail joinery, chiseled granite and sandstone, Trout Point's main lodge celebrates the Great Camps erected along the U.S. & Canadian Eastern Seaboard in the early 20th century. This three-story structure houses guest facilities, the Great Room, mezzanine library, dining rooms, kitchen, two bars, and recreational facilities on the banks of two wilderness rivers. Replete with mica and Tiffany lamps, oriental rugs, log & twig furniture, and extensive indoor and outdoor public areas, Trout Point is the ideal nature retreat. All spacious guest rooms in the Great Lodge feature log walls & beam ceilings and full amenities. Many have hand-cut stone fireplaces and porches or patios, as do the Great Room and the two dining venues.
