Lake Ariel Salem Public Library Hotels

"We were 9 guests; 4 adults, 5 kids. Family Ties suited us perfectly. The proximity of the rental to the Hideout’s pool and beach were awesome - if anyone wanted to go back early, we just walked! The lower level was great for the kids to go and hang out, leaving the adults some quiet relaxation upstairs lol. The balcony was perfect for morning coffee. The kitchen comes with dishwasher, coffeemaker, and a good assortment of cooking utensils (a big thing for us as we love to cook! I brought my own chefs knife and didn’t need it.) Linens and towels all included, BUT bring your own pool towels! Now, some things that weren’t the best, but certainly not a deal breaker: we had to go hunting for a broom, finally found one in the shed out back. I almost went and bought a new one - with 5 kids and the beach, there was sand to be swept every day! Also, there was no vacuum to be found. I know, who wants to vacuum on vacation? It would have made things much easier, is all I’m saying. Both showers in the house are TINY. Again, nbd, but my husband is a bigger guy and I just would’ve liked to know beforehand. Overall, this place is a great find, and everyone was super helpful and communicative. It’s inspired us to start looking for our own vacation house in the Hideout! "

"Excellent house and property! There were so many games and activities in the house and outside in the yard. Loved it! Coming back again :)"

"Great property! Family friendly. "

"It was a pleasant experience. Nice wooded area with your occasional friendly fauna walking by. The area had a nice public pool and lake to swim in. Plenty of restaurants in the area outside of complex. "

"Nice size very clean. No air conditioning in common areas. Very disappointing. The book with activities and house facilities etc. Very helpful. Candace the property manager was outstanding and quite an asset to you, the community and the homeowner. Helpful and fast with every need. Minor plumbing issue handled. The mattresses in the basement could use replacing. But overall we were very pleased. Would return and recommend to others."

"Love, love, love. My family of 7 really enjoyed our stay. The house is super clean and cozy. It stocked with all needed supplies. The house has many welcoming heartwarming details, and is decorated with great taste. We want to come back in the summer because the community has many beautiful lakes and beautiful surroundings to enjoy. "

"The place was great and was able to support our family of 8. The kids absolutely loved the love area as well as the basement! So much fun stuff to do. The only thing we’re disappointed about was the firepit. We asked the property manager if there was a firepit (where you burn wood) since in the welcome back there’s a solo stove and they said yes and that we can pick up firewood in the area which we did however… there was no firepit which is totally fine but now we have firewood we can’t use. However, don’t let this steer you away, this place is great!"

"The pictures look great. The reality is a very small, musty cabin with uncomfortable furniture that is too big for the space. Upon arriving I was met with a large dead raccoon, a bag of dog poop at the door and a very moldy grill on a wet moldy deck that I wouldn’t even let my dog sit on. I let the “superhost” know as soon as we arrived about the issues and they quickly responded. They offered me a credit and sent a cleaner over. I still have not received the credit despite reaching out twice and there was no way I would have put food on that grill even after cleaning. Overall communication with the host was unclear, confusing and contradictory. I will add that the host’s name changed throughout our chat so I had no idea with who I was even communicating. This is clearly an investment property where corners were cut and no one has any sort of personal interest in. The community was awesome and I would definitely go back but I’d choose a different house. "
