Welcome to Balsam Point Lakehouse, a private waterfront retreat located in the town of Indian Lake in the heart of the Adirondacks, set directly on the calm waters of Lake Abanakee. Designed for families and small groups, Balsam Point offers a quiet, comfortable setting to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Adirondacks—whether you're here for long summer days on the water or the color and stillness of fall.
