MADE TO ENTERTAIN The kitchen’s set up for good old familystyle cooking at the cabin. You’ll find a CrockPot, 4-slot toaster, kettle, big pot, serving trays, baking sheets, cutting boards, big bowls, and an icemaker in the fridge. Everything you need to whip up a hearty meal and gather everyone around the table after a day up north.

ENTERTAINMENT BOSE SPEAKER SYSTEM Kick back and enjoy surround sound that makes movie nights and music feel larger than life. The Bose system is tucked right below the TV in the cabinet—easy to access for both films and your favorite tunes.
FIREPLACE There’s nothing quite like gathering around the fire after a day on the lake. The stone fireplace on the main level is controlled with a remote—no wood chopping needed. It’s the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply curling up with a blanket and a good book.
MOVIE NIGHT Head down to the basement for the ultimate Up North theater experience. A big TV, loads of recliner seating, and room for the whole crew make it the perfect place to gather. Pop some popcorn, snuggle in, and enjoy a cozy movie night just steps from the lake.
GAMES For the little ones, there’s a basket of classic games and books near the basement stairs—perfect for sparking imagination and keeping everyone entertained between swims and s’mores. You’ll also find additional games and cards tucked inside the main level living room cabinet.
GAME ROOM Rainy day? Evening downtime? The garage is set up as a full game room, featuring a large TV, game table, fridge for your favorite beverages, and ping pong. It’s a lively space to gather and make memories off the water.
WORKOUT SPACE If you’re looking to break a sweat before you hit the water, the Lodge has a workout nook ready for you. You’ll find a treadmill, workout ball, two yoga mats, three sets of hand weights, and a weighted ball—everything you need for a quick lakeside workout.
SONOS SPEAKERS Download the SONOS app on your phone and connect to the wifi to play music through the speakers!
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES LAKESIDE FIREPIT Settle in by the water’s edge and enjoy the crackle of a fire with family and friends. Firewood is included, so all you need are the marshmallows and stories.
HOT TUB Perched on top of the boathouse, the hot tub gives you a front-row seat to lake views while you soak. Please follow the simple instructions found in the hot tub container to keep things running smoothly. Morning coffee or late-night relaxation—it doesn’t get more “Up North” than this.
WATER TOYS Stored in the boathouse, you’ll find two kayaks and a Lily Pad ready for lake adventures. Paddle out to explore the shoreline or enjoy a peaceful morning float, then roll out the Lily Pad for some fun right on the water. Whether you’re lounging, sunbathing, or watching the kids splash, it’s a guest favorite for all ages.
GRILL Fire up the grill without the hassle of propane runs. With a direct propane line, you can focus on the burgers, brats, and fresh-caught fish without ever worrying about empty tanks.
YARD GAMES From friendly competition to all-out family tournaments, the yard is stocked with classic games: ladder toss, Spikeball, Giant Timber, and Crobyi. Perfect for those in-between lake swims or lazy afternoons.
LIFEJACKETS For everyone’s safety, four orange lifejackets are stored in the garage. Please be sure to bring any specific sizes needed for young children.
PONTOON RENTAL Helpful Hint *Make sure master switch is on*
PONTOON CARE We’re thrilled to offer you a pontoon to enjoy the beauty of Lower Hay Lake — and at one of the best rates around! If you’ve added this rental amenity to your stay, your pontoon will arrive fully fueled and ready for adventure. The keys will be left on the kitchen counter for your convenience. We just ask that you treat it with care so future guests can enjoy it too.
As a courtesy when using the boat: + Please clean up any trash in the boat. + Be mindful of shallow areas to avoid damage to prop. + Be aware of speed, especially when docking. + Please store the pontoon on the lift overnight.
SAFETY Life jackets and a throw cushion are available on the pontoon. If you aren't a strong swimmer (or even if you are) please wear a life jacket to protect you/your loved ones. Please remain seated while pontoon is moving.
KEYS & GAS Boat keys will be on the counter. Gas cans are available in the Boat House. Please leave the boat full at check-out to avoid extra fees.
FUEL POLICY For your convenience, we’ve also provided empty gas cans at the property to use for refueling as needed. Before checkout, we ask that you refill the pontoon to a full tank. If the pontoon is not returned full, a portion of your security deposit will be retained to cover fuel costs.
