Mt. Lake Pool & Patio was established in the mid-1960s by Mike and Arlene Stachel. During their first few years in business, the Stachel's worked out of their home, employed only four service technicians and serviced customers all over the east coast. Today, the company has one location with over 20,000 square feet of retail space and a 30,000 square foot warehouse for pool supplies and furniture storage.
