About this property

Lakeside Haven at Upper Hay Lake

Above & Beyond Homes | RE/MAX Results - Escape to Hay Lake Retreat, our serene lakefront cabin nestled on 80 feet of sandy shore overlooking pristine Upper Hay Lake. Spend your days swimming, paddling and soaking up the lake views from the spacious main cabin or guest house.

The spacious main cabin sleeps up to 7, features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, screened-in porch overlooking the lake, and upper deck with beautiful views of the water. Relax with free WiFi, flat screen TVs, a sound system and smart home features. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need.

The separate guest cabin sleeps 7 adults comfortably with 4 beds and a full bath. It offers additional privacy and space for your group.

🚨Prior to Booking🚨

1. We charge a $150 pet fee for one dog under 80lbs. Sorry, but no other pets are allowed. Dogs are welcome only from September to May.

2. Unfortunately, Vrbo doesn’t let us offer discounts. To keep things fair, we set our base rates below market value for small groups. For parties larger than 4, there’s an additional $50/night per person. This way, small groups pay less, and larger groups still get a good deal.

3. Double-check all the details before booking—dates, number of guests, and pets (if applicable)—so all fees are calculated correctly from the get-go.

Not our favorite 😔
The pictures online looked perfect for our family stay, but unfortunately the maintenance was just not up to our standards. All the amenities were very outdated, but to be fair they had a lot of items to use. The exterior of the cabin was full of cobwebs and bugs. There are holes in screens and the main door facing the lake had no screen at all. This was our biggest issue of all, as the weather was perfect and we wanted to enjoy the breeze and fresh air off the lake. Our trade-off was letting in flies and some mosquitoes. The sauna wasn’t working and should be noted or taken off the listing. There is no TV for families of small kids to enjoy or getting comfy and cozy for a movie if you should wish. The main cabin TV is in the corner of the kitchen. The guest house TV did not work for streaming or watching DVDs. The guest house was the best sleeping accommodations on the property. Clean and cute!! The ping-pong table was our favorite activity on site and we had a blast with a family tournament!! The property itself is great and there’s so much potential for future visitors if they just spend a little bit of time/money updating. Host is fantastic for recommendations and communication!!

Has Great Potential But Needs Some Love & Elbow Grease
Our adult family enjoyed the lake and the large yard during our week long stay. The provided supplies and linens in the homes were great for a vacation rental. The newly added AC units were a pleasant surprise during our stay in July. We have/had some concerns with the cleanliness and the upkeep of some key items in the main house that the mgmt company appears to be taking seriously.

Family vacation
It worked perfectly for our large group , nice lake but it is a weedy lake , the littles loved the beach area , over all great place but needs a deep cleaning and the light in the main bathroom was difficult to turn on it was very touchy but it didn’t take away from the memories made

Very nice location
The lot and area that this cabin was on is beautiful. It was very nice to have a second cabin and the sauna was great. There does seem to be some maintenance needed on several areas of the cabin, such as the screen door did not close and it had holes in the screen. The kitchen could use some better utensils and organization also.

erfect winter get away
We spent two weeks here in the winter. It was a much-needed retreat away from the city. We spent the morning sipping coffee before the beautiful stone fireplace, afternoons in the sauna, and evenings grilling. The cabin was fully equipped with extra towels and blankets, and games. The kitchen e was great, and we enjoyed having extra room in the guest cabin to work or read silently. The location was beautiful, and the ice started to melt while we were there, and we could hear it. Plenty of firewood! Great escape!

Autumn on the Lake
Property was what we were looking for. Beautiful fall colors with a good view and cozy atmosphere. Very nice towels and linens with a well stocked supply of pans, utensils, etc. in the kitchen. We did not have enough time to use the sauna, but it looked great. Loved all the essential oils, same brand I use at home. Michelle answered our texts immediately and was very accommodating.
