--from Edna Ingalls Adams' 1983 article

This is another farm that grew to be a very large resort.  When the Schmollingers bought the farm from William and Rosie Shult in 1940, they found an inscription, “Cook 1780,” on one of the flagstones in front of the original house.  This farm was on the Schoharie Turnpike and apparently there was a tollgate there.  The Schmollingers moved a small old building by the road and found several old coins.  Today Pleasant View Lodge boasts a German-American cuisine, a large indoor pool and many different types of accommodations.  The Schmollingers advertise, “The breath-taking Northern Catskill Mountains will surround you at Pleasant View.”
