A GLIMPSE KROM IHt SPRUCES Lake Mobank Rouse HE house was first opened in 1870, and has been built in many different parts at many different times to meet the constantly increasing requirements. It represents a steady growth of twenty-seven years, and now^ has a frontage of about seven hundred feet. There are over four hundred feet in length of broad piazzas for public use, while nearly all the lodging rooms have private balconies of good size with fine views of the lake and Sky Top and the flower garden , or a broad outlook over the Rondout Valley to the Catskill Mountains. The hou.se is equipped with Otis hydraulic elevator, furnace and steam heat, electric bells and electric lights. In the newer parts of the house the lodging rooms all have open Franklin fireplaces, burn- ing wood. All the public rooms also have open wood fires. For fire protection, beside other appli- ances, there is a system of water-works of sufficient capacity for a good sized village, with twelve stand-pipes and seventy hose- valves, each having hose attached, scat- tered through the house. Water is supplied through an eight inch pipe from two reser- voirs on Sky Top holding over a million gallons, and at an elevation of two hundred feet. The laundry is newly equipped with improved machinery driven by steam power and is fitted to turn out work of the very be.st quality. Boilers, engines and pumps have been placed outside of the house and far enough awav to avoid anv annovance. A Telegraph Office will be open in the house during the season. The W e s t e r u Union Telegraph Company has a direct wire to New York, and connec- tions in all direc- tions. Telegrams .should be addressed to Lake Mohonk House, Mohonk L,ake, N. Y. , from May jSth to October 19th. At other times send to New Paltz, N. Y. The house will continue to be kept as a strictly Tempek.\.nce House. \'isitors are not expected to arrive or depart on the Sab- bath. No dogs allowed. A Post Office is located in the house and letters should be addressed to Albert K. Smiley, Proprietor, Mohonk Lake, Ulster Co., N. Y. Reading Rooms are iu each end of the house, which contain all the leading English and American monthly and quarterly peri- odicals, and weekly and daily papers and a very complete list of books of reference. There is also a circulating library in the ofi&ce free to guests. The Fifteenth Annual Mohonk Indian Conference will be held October 13th, 14th and 15th. The sessions are held in the public parlor and are open to guests. The- Third Annual Mohonk Arbi- tr^ation Conference will be held June 2d, 3d and 4th. The sessions are held in the public parlor and are open to guests. A Livery Stable is connected with the house, where those bringing horses can have them boarded, and light excursion wagons, carriages and buckboards can be hired. The stables have stalls for 120 horses. They are light, dry, well ventilated, well drained, and in charge of an experienced and responsible man, so that guests bringing their own horses and carriages can be sure of having them well cared for, and will find a wonderfully picturesque region, thor- oughly opened up by drives which it is hardly possible can be surpassed in extent or fineness of outlook by any mountain re- sort in the country. A complete list of the drives with charges for livery horses can be had on application. Scenery at Mobonk Lahe •sJl LL who visit the lake are impressed with the wonderful and greatly varied character of the scenery : a beautiful lake ; massive rocks, each of them thousands of tons in weight ; towering cliiTs ; and far extending views in all directions, embracing large portions of six states, and covering several thousands of square miles. Indeed, it is the general opinion of all widely-trav- eled people who visit it, that in respect to the remarkable combination and great va- riety of imposing lake and mountain views, it has no superior, if, indeed, it has any rival, on the Atlantic seaboard. The air is delightfully cool and bracing, the thermom- eter rarely rising above eighty degrees Fah- renheit. The estate connected with the hotel con- tains over three thousand acres, including the top of the mountain for five miles in length. A part near the house consists of precipitous mountain slopes, rocks and for- ests ; a thousand acres of farm land supply the hou.se with a great variety of fresh vege- tables and fruits, there being besides numer- ous apple orchards, many acres of peaches, grapes, currants, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and other small fruits ; the pasture land feeds a herd of more than a hundred cows, selected and carefully bred, especially with a view to their excellence for the dairy, which supply fresh milk and cream in abundance ; while the breezy tops and shady sides of the mountain are trav- ersed by private roads and paths in every direction. 13 P«*B9"W»*«««WP 1 PINE BLUFF Since last season a new carriage road has been built to Eagle Cliff and much labor expended in repairs, regrad- ing and covering with a good layer of slate rock some of the older drives. There are now over thirty-five miles of good private road, with easy grades, and presenting a remarkable variety and extent of magnificent views — winding as they do along the cool top, or high on the side of the mountain, at an elevation of from one thousand to fifteen hundred feet, now plunging into primitive for- ests, and again breaking out into cul- tivated fields, now curving along the green slope of pastured hills, or pass- ing under beetling cliffs among masses of broken rock heaped in endless con- fusion. For a more particular account of some of the special attractions of the place, the reader is referred to the newspaper notices which follow. A VIEW l-RO.W THL WhST I'lAZZA 15 !iiaiai*§i«^_ f*Jcwspapcr f^oticcs I ROM the first opening of Mohonk House, twenty-seven years ago, the plan has been steadily continued to employ no correspondents, and never, directly or indirectly to solicit any newspaper notices whatever. From the scores of voluntary notices that have from year to year appeared, a few brief extracts are here given. (Lev. Dr. Cheodore L. CuyUr, in rfew Tofh Gvangclist "The longer I stayed beside that mountain lake the more fasci- nating it became to me. The restfulness of the atmosphere, the delight of climbing the cliffs, and treading the rocky caves and labyrinths, the even- ing paddles over the miniature lakelet, the glori- ous sunset views from the observatory, filled u]i every hour with rational enjoyment." prof. H. 6uyot, of Princeton small ease." ' ' Few spots on our continent unite so much beauty of scenery, both grand and lovely, within so compass, to be enjoyed with so much "Then two weeks at Sky Top Rev. H. D. Mayo, ^^^^^ ^^^^ Mohonk ; one of those ^" I g rare places where the creative c cgram power seems to have rehearsed for every form of grandeur and gentleness ; an Alpine lake on top of a mountain 1200 feet above the valley, the mountain itself a gigantic monu- ment of rock -scenery wrought into every form of wildness and grace, and from any point on the summit cliffs an outlook over two perfect valleys, with fifty miles of the western horizon crowded with glorious mountain ranges, amid whose mys- terious realms the sinking sun and the morning mist work such magic as only poetry exalted to worship can fitly rehearse." 17 Springfield Republican " A ride of half an hour on the Wall- kill Valley Railroad, from Kingston, brings j'ou to the quiet little village of New Paltz, and six miles of very easy mountain riding lands you at the Lake Mohonk House. Here, on the northern end of the Shawangunk range of lofty hills, is a place foreordained to be a favorite summer resort. At an altitude of 1200 feet above the Hudson, in a deep rocky gorge of the mountain, lies the sweetest of highland lakes, half a mile in length, deep, clear, and surrounded by headlong precipices. The whole mountain is a vast tumble of rock piled in the most fantastic shapes, heavily wooded, and a natural flower gar- den. Here the arbutus, the azalea, the laurel, in succession clothe the rocky slopes with early sum- mer beauty. There is an endless variety in the wondrous rock-scenery, and a whole season would hardly suffice to explore this wild and wonderful labyrinth. But from the two summits. Sky Top and Kagle Cliff, in addition, an outlook is gained not inferior to any in the whole Catskill region ; in some respects unrivaled in .\merica. In the valleys of the Rondout and Wallkill below, beautiful as paradise, lie the great grazing and dairy farms of the city. Eastward can be traced the course of the Hudson, and the line of the Green Mountains, with their most connnanding sumnnts. The whole western horizon is crowded by piled-up walls of azure, stretching from the Alleghanies in the south- west to the cone of Overlook in the north — cer- tainly the most satisfying view we have yet seen of an extended portion of this range. Here is a large boarding-house, admirably kept, for a wonder in this State, without liquor, or the noisy nuisance of interminable dancing, bawling, and racketing that make our American watering places the dis- gust of all quiet souls. For a restful season, amid exquisite scenery, with the best of quiet company, at endurable prices, in easy distance of the great Eastern cities, this is, so far, the best mountain house we have found. Another year the house will be greatly enlarged; and, while as well kept as now, the crowd that comes to it will not diminish." Rev. Dr. Krotcl, in the Lutheran "A few rods more and we began to descend the mountain, and in a few moments caught the first glimpse of Mohonk Lake, one of the most beauti- ful mountain lakes, and unquestionably one of the 19 ^^RO <»;%■■* greatest surprises in the Atlantic States. You did not expect to find such a body of water up there. It is small, only half a mile long, and a few hundred feet in width, but it would be difficult to find a spot more interesting and beautiful. The Lake Mohonk House, a picturesque frame build- ing, with numerous gables and balconies, is built on the lower edge of the lake, and its style of architecture is altogether in keeping with the gen- eral character of this unique spot. It faces the lake, on the other side of which Sky Top rears its lofty summit. The rear of the hotel looks out upon the extensive Rondout Valley, bounded by the Shandaken Mountains, and some of the Cats- kills on the north. I doubt whether there is another house on the Atlantic coast that combines so many advantages. ' ' Xrcnaeus, in INcw 'York Observer "The little world in which the lake is embosomed has peculiar attractions which the amateur geologist or intel- ligent visitor studies with increasing wonder as he goes up and down among these rocks and dells, and caves and dens of the earth. The Sniilevs have made walks and stairs, arbors, seats. and bridges, with skill and taste, and names have easily been attached to the several marvelous places of interest, so that days and weeks are pleasantly spent in exploring the mysterious caverns, the Giant's Workshop and Eagle Cliff, and gazing upon the Old Man of the Mountain. . . Here, upon the lofty borders of this pure lake, among the wooded and rocky cliffs and heights, with rustic arbors and romantic walks, the company — only the best of people, quiet, intelligent, refined, and well- to-do — love to dwell ; always cool and comfortable, without a bar or a ball-room, but filled with the beauty of a glorious world of Nature out of doors, and well cared for with the comforts of a hospita- ble inn." Prof. S. la. Buch in r^cw "Yorh Xn- dependcnt "Words can give no idea of that view. We stood on the edge of a precipice three hun- dred feet high, with the lake five hundred feet below us, sparkling like a jew-el set in the rugged rock. We were seventeen hun- dred feet above the level of the Hudson. The cool breeze, laden with ozone from Nature's own labora- tories, made us entirely forget the heated valley, THE LAKE where the mercury marked 90°. We came down from Sky Top with enlarged ideas of power and sublimity, carrying away pictures of beauty that will live in memory forever. Our concluding ad- vice to all who care for scenery, at once grand and beautiful, is by all means go to Lake Mohonk. There you will find a view equal to any to be had from the Catskills ; a lake which is a perfect gem of beauty ; an atmosphere almost intoxicating in its strength and purity ; geologic records that will excite your unbounded wonder ; and, what is always acceptable in such places, a pleasant hotel, where you can find good society and a comfortable home." prof, jviartin, in IVcw Yorh Cribunc "The company that gather here and fill the house to repletion, despite the annual extensions and additions made by the proprietor, Mr. A. K. Smiley, belong to the genteel and culti- vated class, that go for the real object of seeking health and enjoyment in a quiet and restful place. The excitements of a fashionable resort are un- known on these peaceful heights ; but all that pure mountain air and select society can give ma\- be found at Lake Mohonk." evening post "Mohonk Housse, located on the edge of the lake, commands a fine view of lake and mountain, has good bathing and fishing advantages, and is within easy access of delightful woodland rambles. The house — whose interior arrangements of generously furnished table, good serving by tid}' American girls, appetizing Yankee cookery, sleeping rooms the perfection of neatness and comfort, is worth\- of its beautiful surroundings — is itself a veritable Swiss chalet on a large scale, and blends pictur- esquely with lake and mountain." New "Yorh evening post "Up, up we climb above the mon- archs of the forest ; up to where the air is rarefied ; up to the height of a thousand feet or more; when, lo ! a vision of en- chantment is before us. O, divers after beauty ! here is the pearl of it — the crystal, hill-locked Mohonk Lake. We wish we could describe it to you as it looked that bright July day, sparkling in the sunlight, as it always looks, for no strife of the elements, however fierce, ruffles or disturbs its placidity. The storm-king cannot even jog its rock-bound cradle." 23 THE FLOWER GARDENS Rtv. Dr. Lyman Hbbon. in Christian CClcchly " I have never seen such a variety of beauties crowded into so small a compass — lake, mountain, rock and wide-expanded plain ; here a succession of cabinet pictures of most ex- quisite finish, there a panorama measured by scores of miles. The lake is a gem, exquisite in itself and exquisite in its setting. Its clear water is an emerald-green. In one little cave, where for the last half-hour mj- boat has been lying, the rocks are turned to emerald by the reflection from the water. All around the rocky sides rise in pre- cipitous cliffs, or in masses of huge stones tumbled together in sublime confusion. Pine Bluff, which shades me from the setting sun as I write, rises fully fifty feet, literalh" a perpendicular wall, from the water's edge. The two sentinels which guard the gateway to this little lake are, the one three hundred feet, the other two hundred ; the former nearly perpendicular, the latter quite so. If I leave the lake and ascend either of these cliffs, the pan- oramic scene is one which defies alike the pen and pencil. The view from the Catskills is wider in its range, but here we are on the edge of a knife-blade, and either side commands a prospect equally ex- tended. In this respect I remember no mountain peak that compares with it, not even Mt. Holyoke, which it .somewhat resembles. . . I have never seen before anything analogous to the rock-ramljles of this region. One .such ramble surveyed and ren- dered passable by some little work here and there, but not enough to destroy the effect of nature, Mr. Smiley has well named the ' Labyrinth.' Yester- day I followed him throughout its entire lengtli. For a full half mile, but by the tortuous way we came for at least double that distance, we clam- bered along the mountain side, now^ down through a deep chasm or cleft in the rock, whose walls, towering one hundred feet above us, brushed our shoulders on either side ; now across a similar chasm, looking down from our frail bridge in a cleft as deep beneath our feet ; now peering into a cave whose subterranean recesses I did not care to explore; now into another, where bubbled up a mountain spring of clear, cold water, the only bar within three miles of the Mohonk House; now clamVjering out and up into a .seat built on a shelf of rocks; from which we catch a charming glimpse of the lake and the house upon it, now clanil)ering down again by aid of laurel-lnislies which have 25 Rev. T. B. Olahcly. D. D., in ]Scwburg 'jlounial grown to trees whose trunks my two hands cannot clasp ; while all the way is rich with moss and ferns and lichens, whose varying tints of green and brown make every new step afford a new rev- elation. My cousin George, who is an artist in his way assures me that there is not to his knowledge in America a picture-gallery of such varied scenes, such hosts and hosts of cabinet pictures ; and I can well believe him, though I have neither an artist's hand, nor, alas! an artist's eye." ' ' I think I never had larger ideas of beauty, .grandeur, and magnifi- cence. . . 'Tis difficult to paint a diamond, a sun, or a rainbow ; 'tis equally difficult to describe the indescribable. What a pencil I need, what canvas, and what colors, to do justice to such a scene ; and then I would need an angel's hand to guide the pencil. At the north end of the lake is the hotel or fraarding-house. Everything is neat, in perfect order, and particular attention is paid to the comfort of the guests. At the house, there is always a cool breeze that is always refreshing. I'Vom the house is a splendid western view, wild, grand, picturesque." "It would be difficult to find Samuel B. Ball. O. O.. , . ^ ,, a more charming spot than in Sailors' Magazine , , , i t i i Mohonk Lake, or a pleas- anter watering pla:e to pass a Sabbath, or spend a month. The hotel is beautifully situated on an elevation of twelve hundred feet above tide-water, and overlooks a most picturesque region of very wide extent. It is admirably kept, with scrupu- lous neatness, and in every respect is managed for the comfort and gratification of its visitors. On this account a most agreeable company has been attracted there, characterized by intelligence, re- finement and content. A feeling of Christian kindness pervades the whole establishment, and makes it as near a perfect place as one can find away from his own home." Hlbany Cultivator and Country Gentleman "An excellent hotel, of quiet, genteel character, capable of accommodating a large num- l)er of visitors, stands at the side of the lake ; and we know of no place equal to it for wild and pic- turesque beauty, coinljined with extensive and magnificent views in every direction, where sail- ing, rowing and fishing, with mountain rambles. 27 VIEWS FROM THE VERANDA may be enjoyed to such advantage. Adjacent to the hotel, the grounds have been graded and smoothed and converted into a handsome lawn, interspersed with the native trees, under whose shade the huge rocks form seats of every imagin- able shape and character. We advise every one who wishes mountain air, with all that is pictur- esque, beautiful and grand, with a quiet and excel- lent hotel home, where the annoyance of boisterous drinking and gambling are excluded, to make a sojourn at this place." IHcw Jersey Republican "Lodged in the basin, just large enough to hold it, and threatening to break away at either end, about one half-mile in length, northeast and southwest, guarded on either side by lofty domes of rock, that rise like great fortifications up to the sk}- out of its glassy, green waters, eighty feet deep, Mohonk Lake is a picture, a marvel not to be described, and never to be forgotten. . . . Let me add in conclusion that the table is good, and the waiters — all girls — are models ; polite, attentive and modest." D. Buntington "Mohonk Lake is one of the most interesting places I have visited. BoUl and savage features are combined with the gentle and picturesque in inexhaustible variety. Those huge masses of rock tumbled in wild con- fusion, contrasted with rich forests, distant views of mountain ranges and smiling valleys, with the clear lake reflecting at your feet, form together a scene most impressive and delightful, of which the artist and lover of nature can never wearv."
