Hal's Hideaway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Situated on a quiet side street, about five minutes outside of Beulah, Hal’s Hideaway is the perfect getaway for your group. The well-maintained cottage has plenty of space for the kids to play, with a spacious side yard and single-hoop basketball court. The backyard firepit offers privacy for those toasted s’mores cookouts before winding down for bed.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy living room with plenty of space for the kids to cuddle up in front of the TV for some late-night movie streaming. The kitchen has an attached dining nook, while the enclosed porch and deck offer the perfect space for that early morning coffee.

The Crystal Lake public access is right across Crystal Drive, about a two-minute walk away. Unlike many waterfront lots on Crystal Lake, the public access lot for Hal’s Hideaway is deep, adding a bit more safety for the little ones to play. While the lot may be deep, the water stays shallow for quite some time, becoming sandy after the first few steps into the water.

Cutest cabin

We live Hal’s hideaway! You really can’t beat it for location, charm, and value. Always clean and well stocked. Thank you for sharing your home with us again.

Very Disappointed

The photos and description are deceptive for Hal’s Hideaway. Pictures don’t show that to get to the bathroom, all paths go through the master bedroom. House is not on the lake like pictures suggest. Dusty window ledges and carpenter ants. Ugh! Complaint calls did not bring local manager.

Gorgeous cottage just a few steps from public access

Gorgeous cottage just a few steps from public access to Crystal Lake. Hal’s Hideaway was the perfect retreat for our family’s up north get away. Cottage was very clean and well equipped. We loved the three season room! We would definitely stay again!
