Arrowhead
Lake Company
The
Tonic of Mile High Breezes
There
is more to vacation a Lake Arrowhead than a glorious
playtime. There is more than beauty; more than sports
and entertainment –there is health –new
vigor for residents of sea-level and hot valley districts.
Dr. J. Fraser Barbrick, well-known retired physician,
and student of climatic effect on health, says of Lake
Arrowhead:
“
Too long living at sea-level leads in many cases to marked
toning down of the system, to loss of or poor appetite.
For those cases requiring certain stimulation –to
whom heat and dryness of plains, the fogs and chills of
the coast, as well as the dust and dryness of the valleys
are disagreeable and irritating –a change to
a mountain resort where the air is pure is of inestimable
value.

“Lake
Arrowhead,” continues the well-known Dr. Barbrick, “is
the loveliest resort of them all. Lake Arrowhead, with
its great outdoors, its magnificent scenery, its glorious
pines and heavily wooded slopes, its sapphire lake and
bubbling brooks, its climate beyond compare, and its
matchless beauty rivaling, or even surpassing, the noted
resorts
of the east and Europe meets completely all the requirements
of the vacationists, the health seeker and the summer
home builder.”
And,
standing by the lake, looking out over its deep blue
surface, feeling the clean sweep of the soft winds
on one’s face, drinking deep the fragrance
of the pines, who can doubt but that Nature heals
and
builds
up the run-down bodies of city dwellers?

Incomparable Advantages
But
there is more than beauty and comfort at Lake
Arrowhead ; more than having a summer home in a
sportsman paradise, near hotels famous for their
appointment
and cuisine –for Lake Arrowhead combines
solidity with beauty and comfort.
For
example, every lodge owner at Lake Arrowhead
has running water piped to his lot –crystal
clear and pure, pumped from 145 feet below the
surface of
the lake.
Every lodge owner at Lake Arrowhead may read by electric
light, and motors and radios are much in evidence.
Cooking is done by rock gas or electricity, and every
lot is tapped by a modern sewer system, assuring ample
sanitary convenience.
Telephones
are available. Hence, there is no such thing
as isolation. A telephone
call to the stores, to the laundry, to the ice
company, will bring the same quick attention
that you receive at home. There is a school, a
library,
fire department, garage, drug store, dry goods
store, moving picture theatre –eveything
that it takes to round out life in the mountains,
but which is all too sadly lacking in the ordinary
summer resort type of community.

Yet,
these modern facilities have not spoiled Lake Arrowhead.
There is still the rugged beauty of the mountains and
the pines, the unscathed splendor of the Lake. Everywhere,
buildings and improvements have been made secondary to
the environment. This is one reason why, when they see
Lake Arrowhead for the first time, people cannot believe
that so much improvement and careful planning have gone
into the creating of this mile-high playground.
We
are aware, in setting down these comforts and items of
distinction that we have not told you half –nor a quarter. For Lake
Arrowhead is not so much a smart community in the mountains
as it is “a formula for living” –a background
against which you act our your scheme of life, a spot of
pure loveliness that will repay you a thousand times, in
beauty,
health, and pleasure, everything you put into it. |
| This
was not by chance, nor was it brought about overnight.
Years of work, millions of dollars, careful planning
of constant safeguarding are represented in Lake Arrowhead. The
Arrowhead Lake Company plans that Arrowhead Woods
will never suffer from neglect or from lack of proper control
in
the future. Many safeguards have been created to protect
Arrowhead Woods. Careless hands are stopped from needless
destruction
of trees. No lot owner. For example, owns the trees on his
lot. These are held in trust for the benefit of all property
owners at Lake Arrowhead. The same is true of land on the
Lake’s
edge in front of each lake shore subdivision. This substantial
strip of land is reserved and held in trust for owners of
property. In this way the natural beauty of the lake shore
will be preserved,
and homes will be kept back from too near the water.
Planned and carefully built up at a
cost of several million dollars, Lake Arrowhead is being
developed primarily for the owners of private lodges,
who enjoy special advantages not extended to the public.
Some of the most desirable features, in fact, are reserved
exclusively for lodge-site owners.
For example, only owners of private lodge-sites may
operate private boats on Lake Arrowhead, and only these
people may keep their own stable of horses. |

A Strong Company
To have restrictions and standards is one thing; but to
see that they are carried out is another. The men who constitute
the Arrowhead Lake Company are well known and widely respected
throughout Southern California. To say that the future
of this project is in their hands is to offer ample evidence
that this great, natural playground will always be properly
developed and safeguarded.
