MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE. 



The Hotel on Raageley Lake. 



Rangeley Lake — Its Indian name is Oquossoc — is beyond dispute the most 

 beautiful of all the lakes in the famous Rangeley region. In its clear waters the 

 square-tailed, spotted trout has ever abounded. In both size and numbers salmon 

 are increasing every year. A catch of a lo lbs. or 12 lbs. fish is not a rare occurrence. 



But the attractions of Rangeley Lake are not confined to its waters, charming 

 coves dotted with lilies; unbroken forests, extending to the very waters' edge; 

 mountains upon mountains, whose wooded slopes and craggy summits never tiie 

 the eye, — these, too, afford delight and satisfaction to sportsman and tourist, even to 

 those who never loved nature before. 



Overlooking a quiet cove near the outlet, flanked by cedars and firs and birches 

 in all their natural beauty, fronting the lake and mountain, just across the cove — 

 hence the name, Mountain View — ^this hotel is indeed "beautiful for situation." The 

 site, alone, has made failure impossible and speaks loudly for the wisdom of the 

 man who selected this charming spot on which to erect a hotel. This important 

 position accounts largely for the ever increasing popularity of this ideal summer 

 resort. 



The elevation is nearly 2000 feet above sea level. The air is dry and invigorat- 

 ing. The pure breezes from fragrant mountain forests are made purer still, if pos- 

 sible, as they sweep across the lake, by contact with the clear waters. Hay fever, 

 in its worst form, yields at once to the gentle influence of the exuberant ozone. 



The house is indeed in the very midst of the best section for successful salmon 

 and trout fishing in the early spring. Some of the best grounds on the lake for 

 trout and salmon fishing are near, while 'tis but a little more than a mile across the 

 "carry" to the Mooselookmeguntic, or "Big Lake." 



The water in the vicinity of the hotel is always calm, which makes boating and 

 bathing especially safe and attractive for ladies and children. 



The purest water from a cold mountain spring, has been piped into the house, 

 and guests are assured that no purer water can be found, even at the celebrated 

 watering places. 



Boats, Guides, Teams, Outfits, etc., are furnished on short notice. Single and 

 double teams always in readiness. The roads are fine, and riding or driving over 

 the hills, along the lakes, and through the forests, is a pleasure not soon forgotten. 



Telephone and Post-ofiice are in the hotel. Two daily mails. Steamer to and 

 from Rangeley touches at Mountain View twice daily. 



Terms, $2.00 to |2.5oby the day, $10 to $15 by the week. For further information, 

 floor plans, etc., address,
