Green House Araque Inn  

Perched on the shores of Lago San Pablo in San Pablo del Lago, minutes from Peguche Waterfall and a short drive to Otavalo — about 1.5 hours north of Quito at the foot of Taita Imbabura (≈2,660 m). This family-friendly, pet-friendly guesthouse is ideal for travelers chasing lake and volcano views.

Small and personal with just a handful of individually furnished rooms, the inn serves panoramic lake and mountain vistas from terraces and gardens. Rooms include desks, electric kettles and entertainment docks, plus private bathrooms with rainfall showers, complimentary toiletries and daily housekeeping.

Big on play: a complimentary aquapark/water park, indoor pool, hot tub and sauna set the tone, while a terrace, garden, library, picnic and BBQ area keep things relaxed. Staff offer supervised childcare, shuttle service to the bus station, on-site parking, gift shop, laundry and express check-in/out.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and in-room desks make it easy to stay connected while you soak up the lake air.

An on-site restaurant and bar showcase local gastronomy and a la carte choices, with breakfast served each morning (local specialties and English-style options noted) and room service available during hotel hours.
