Great place for a relaxing getaway
My friends and I had a great experience here and loved the serene & scenic atmosphere and well-equipped property. Would recommend for anyone looking to just get away for a while in a beautiful environment, for a group looking to meet up and enjoy a quiet lake, and anyone in between.

Hay Lake Retreat
This is a new, comfortable and stylish A frame cabin. It was perfect for our immediate family of 5 (from Upstate NY) and grandma and auntie (from the Twin Cities). There are views of lake from all 3 floors. There is central A/C plus a separate humidity control when you don't want the cold air from the A/C but also don't want the humidity from outside. The loft provided an excellent space for the kids to sleep and hang out - as did the basement game room. The cabin isn't right on top of the lake but rather sits back some, so there is a usable back yard for outdoor games. My teens played a lot of frisbee there. Wonderful family room with more than adequate seating. One great find was the Tripoli game that my family often played when we were children. The game provided hours of enjoyment and it was fun to teach to our children. We canoed, kayaked and swam whenever the weather permitted. Do note that the road the house is located on is a small dirt road (about 2 miles off main road). We don't own a 4 wheel drive, so we found it a bit bumpy but the lovely location and home were well worth the journey!

Amazing fishing
Between 4 boats we caught well over 200 bass/pike in one day. Not a lot of size but an amazing clear water lake that would be a lot of fun for kids or novice anglers. Cabin was amazing and we are already looking to book for next year
