At the head of Lake Pleasant and facing Sacandaga Lake is the little hamlet of Lake Pleasant, in the midst of the fish and game preserve of the Adirondacks. The hotels are situated on a knoll, with a gradual rise of 60 feet above the lakes, and 2,00 feet above the sea level, with an uninterrupted view over mountains and lakes for twenty-five or thirty miles in almost every direction.

At this point will be found one of the finest summer resort hotels in the Adirondacks, which in conjunction with the Inn, accommodates 250 guests. The large hotel opens June 1st and is run without a bar, while the side-board of the Inn is stocked with the finest brands of wines, liquors and cigars.

Mr. J. D. Morley the popular and well known Proprietor, as well as Mr. G. Arrighi, Manager, who have had many years experience in the hotel business, aim to make the stay of their patrons one which will be enjoyed. Boating, Bathing, Fishing, Hunting, Tennis, Dancing, Etc., go to provide pleasure and recreation. The drives to the many Lakes in this region are fine, the country roads being the best. Good and trusty guides, dogs and all the necessaries for hunting and fishing can be supplied.

Particular attention is given the table, which is first-class in every respect. Game and fish in season, butter, eggs, milk and vegetables from hotel farm. Water of the purest. Daily mail and telegraph communication keeps one in touch with outside happenings.

Morley's, to be brief, can offer to its patrons, a good up-to-date hotel with open fire-places and modern conveniences, such as sanitary plumbing, baths, gas light, good beds and good fare; and overlooking two of the most picturesque Lakes in the region; together with tennis court, bowling alley, pool room, orchestra, house physician in attendance; good livery of boats and horses; good service, and good bathing on a fine white sand beach on Sacandaga Lake.
