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.

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! ##### Jason W.
