DESCRIPTION: Step into a different world. Lake Atitlán is one of the most exquisitely beautiful places on earth. Surrounded by volcanoes and steeped in indigenous culture, it's an intoxicating place to spend your vacation. Palatalik is a lovely, comfortable new lakeside house, designed by a Guatemalan architect and built by local craftsmen. It's on the "car free" side of the lake -- accessible only by water taxi from the nearby town of Panajachel. Wake up to the sunrise over Atitlán and Tolimán, two of the three volcanoes visible from our house. Fall asleep watching the natural light show created by storms caught miles away behind them. In between, you can swim from our dock in the clear, cool waters of the lake, walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch, take a boat to a nearby village to study Spanish, climb the volcanoes, or ride horses...or just hang out on one of the three terraces and read or watch the local fisherman go by in their wooden canoes. The house is great for families. The kids will love the loft bedroom and the large oval bathtub. Adults love the huge kitchen, the outdoor shower, and the lovely views from every window. It's a great place to relax, hang out, and experience a different way of life. A few comments from previous guests: "Thank you for making your home available for people to enjoy. I imagine few people (few as in a percentage of the worlds travelers) take the stretch to visit Guatemala, then to the lake and into the other villages. Those who do have taken the road less traveled. To find at the end of that road, a home as inviting as yours to call your own during the stay… That, has made all the difference. My entire family thanks you for the lifelong memories." -- Stewart, OR "We had a fabulous time. The house is just such a convenient location. Zip lining was great but I can honestly say I was NEVER so terrified in my entire life. What a thrill! Many thanks for a great time." -- Lorrie, PA "We had a fantastic trip to Guatemala! We loved Palatalik and Lake Atitlan and had many many fun adventures." -- Laurie, KY
