The land rises with a gentle slope to the edge of the terrace facing the stream, meadow, and mountains on the south.
With no stagnant water, there are practically no mosquitoes, and it is confessedly one of the most healthful spots of all this health giving region.

Being on a lea shore, the cold air from the snowy summits of the mountains tempered by the warm soil of the foothills and level area, there is no place on the Lake better adapted for bathing and boating, especially as the beach is sandy and shallow, sloping off for some distance from the shore.
The accompanying photographs give some idea of the hotel and its cottages, together with some Al-Tahoe homes.

The water supply for the town and hotel is gained from beautiful and pure Star Lake, 3000 feet higher than Lake Tahoe, and where snow may be seen during the entire year.

The Al-Tahoe Company owns its own electric generating plant and supplies all the cottages with electric light.
The hotel itself is conducted on the American plan, and in every modern way meets the requirements of the most exacting patrons.
Amusements of every kind are provided, and there is a good livery stable and automobile garage.
The town itself is being built up with a select class of summer residents.

No saloons are allowed.
