Ben Lomond: A visit to this peerless resort Hoel Ben Lomond

Article describes impressions by Mountain Echo staff of the grounds and facilities of both resorts. Both are damming the San Lorenzo River to provide for swimming and both are adding lighting to their properties or evening enjoyment. Both are already booked or expect to be full for the summer resort period. The article credits the owners of the two large resorts, D.W. Johnston and Thomas L. Bell for their civic contributions and setting a standard for smaller properties to emulate.
