Lake Ariel Vacations from $558

It was awuite area nice view when driving

Our stay was amazing! The check-in process was very easy, the house was clean and very accurate to the listing description. The community location was very private and quiet. The house has everything you need: extra linens, dish soap, laundry detergent, cleaner, pots + pans, cups, etc. The beach was right down the road, and the stay came with 6 complimentary passes to Boulder Lake Club. If you have more than 6 people for your stay, the additional passes are $25/day. There are so many fun games and water activities to do at the beach club! Some negatives: We did have a snafu with security... someone made a complaint that we had too many cars (we had 4). Not really sure how you would have 12 people in a house without having at least 3 cars. My only other complaint would be the mattresses..... most of them were not comfortable at all. Very minor complaints overall, but worth mentioning for future renters! I would love to book a stay in the winter and get to experience all the winter activities and ski lodge. Great stay for the price and great location!

I have been here many times over the years, with the last visit being several years ago. It has been outdated for some time (which is just aesthetic and does not really bother me) but this time the maintenance and cleanliness have gone out the door. It is very unfortunate because this resort has beautiful potential. The restaurant in the main building as well as the one at the lake have both been shut down. The mini golf is dirty and we noticed the bricks collapsed off the side. The house where you used to get the rental equipment is abandoned. The hotel room was horrible - stained walls and curtains. The hallway and elevator carpets were dirty. The toilet in my room did not flush and the knob for the shower fell off upon touching it. I heard many people making complaints to the front desk, as did I. The waterpark was ok, although it needs repairs on the steps up to the slides and the kids play tower was closed off for use. The arcade looked clean. We did not have time to go to the movie theater so I cannot comment on that. The activities were fun - bingo, karaoke, hiking, arts and crafts. The outdoor pool was clean but there is no life guard and it did not open until an hour past the stated time. It is clear that ongoing maintenance could have avoided most of these issues but at this point they will need major repairs throughout a lot of the property. Overall due to the lack of cleanliness and maintenance I will definitely but sadly not return. Very unfortunate.
