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 home was as described, clean and ready for check in. Great location and we will rent again this summer. No issues at all, the host sent all info on time and everyone enjoyed the games in the garage and the cool lighting in the family room. Well worth renting.

    This house did not meet our expectations unfortunately. We did enjoy some aspects - it was clean, they let us check in early, the kitchen was well-stocked and the pool table in the game room was a bonus. The view of the lake was gorgeous. The cons: It is not four bedrooms - it's only three. The top two bedrooms are not separated - they are connected and only semi-private from each other. It's more like a sleeping loft with a stair case in the middle. The lake is not swimmable from the dock (unless you want to fight through a ton of lily pads, which are pretty but unpleasant and difficult to swim through). One person from our group messaged ahead of our stay and was told it is swimmable, but I can't imagine anyone swimming in the water at that section of the lake. There isn't a public beach at Lake Ariel, so we drove 20 minutes to Lake Wallenpaupack to swim. We did use the dock to go out on the canoe.The shower was so small I bumped my elbows when washing my hair, and it was difficult for me to bathe my two year old as there is very little space and no tub.Overall I felt the listing could be more transparent, and my group was really bummed about not being able to swim off the dock.

    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

    It is a nice house located very close to lake Ariel and a 10-minute drive to St. Tikhon's monastery and seminary.

    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!
