A Glimpse into History:
Lake Ariel is not just a stunning natural wonder; it is steeped in rich history. Formed by glacial activity thousands of years ago, this picturesque lake has long been a beloved destination for recreation and relaxation. In the late 1800s, it became a popular summer retreat for families seeking respite from the heat of the cities. The area’s scenic beauty attracted numerous visitors, leading to the establishment of hotels and cottages along its shores.

By the early 1900s, Lake Ariel had evolved into a thriving vacation spot, drawing both locals and tourists to its pristine waters. The charming town of Lake Ariel, established nearby, boasts historic architecture and a vibrant community, reflecting its long-standing appeal. Today, Lake Ariel continues to be a cherished destination, providing a perfect backdrop for unforgettable gatherings and outdoor adventures.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Lake vacation

It wax a very enjoyable stay. The cottage was perfect for our needs. It was immaculately clean and well supplied. My only suggestion would be to add another mirror or 2. With 3 adults trying to shower, shave, apply makeup and do hair for a wedding, added mirrors would have been nice. But that is my only suggestion for improvement

Quiet and cozy lake getaway

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. This place did not disappoint! The house is situated with a beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast while taking in the view. The house had everything we needed. It was clean and cozy. The house is only a few minutes away from a wonderful coffee place called The Brew. There are also shopping options right up the road in Hamlin. We slept comfortably in the well appointed king size bed, but were also guilty of falling asleep on the comfy couch in the living room while enjoying some movies on the flat screen TV. The kitchen had everything we needed to make wonderful meals. We have hectic jobs, kids, pets, etc. This was the perfect place for us to check out from the hustle and bustle of our daily life and recharge our batteries. Communication from the owner was superb. Thank you for letting us rent this property!
