From the guide to the Lake Mohonk Mountain House records, 1870-1968., (Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library)

The Lake Mohonk Mountain House was a noted summer resort hotel located on Lake Mohonk in the Shawangunk Mountains of Ulster County, northwest of New York City. The hotel was begun in 1870 by Albert K. Smiley (d. 1912), but like most resort hotels it underwent a nearly continuous program of enlargement and modernization. The grounds eventually included a bungalow colony and a private water supply system. Albert's half-brother Daniel Smiley served as manager of the Lake Mohonk Mountain house from 1880 until his death in 1930.
