OUR STORY
About Point Lookout
Point Lookout has served midcoast Maine in many capacities over the years.
Initially, Point Lookout was built as a a corporate retreat for MBNA. It continued for that purpose when Athena Health acquired the property. For the first 20 years of its existence, the facilities flourished under the generosity of MBNA founder and philanthropist Charles Cawley. However, after the passing of Mr. Cawley in 2015, continuing operations were financially unsustainable.
Fortunately, the facility was not closed - it was simply redesigned. Gone were the days of weddings and large conferences, but the fitness center and many of the cabins remained open for use as cozy vacation rentals for locals and visitors to enjoy year-round.
While some portions of the property are no longer available, such as the Copper Pine Cafe, the bowling alley, and the summit, other portions of the property will continue to be open to public use and improved.
Some of those improvements include the newly extended trail system, a new outdoor playground, basketball court, and volleyball court, an outdoor pavilion, the soccer field, and the new fitness center. Our recently designed Gathering Room offers a cozy, intimate space for receptions, parties, and more. In addition, the guests can continue to enjoy the beautiful views from the many trails at the neighboring Camden Hills Sate Park.
