About this property

Sanctuary at Hay Lake, MN

Sanctuary at Hay Lake is situated on just over a half acre of nature's bliss. The house has been meticulously re-designed and remodeled with the vacationing family or larger group in mind. It features 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and very comfortably accommodates 14 people. All of the beds feature memory foam mattresses with an additional memory foam topper so each guest can choose between a softer, or firmer mattress experience. On the upper level three of the bedrooms offer guests the flexibility to choose bed configurations of either two twin extra long (XL), or combined for a single king size bed. In the fourth upper level bedroom we offer two sets of bunk beds to sleep four people. For the comfort of our taller guests all of the twin beds are XL - even the two sets of bunk beds. On the main level we offer two bedrooms, each with queen size beds. For added flexibility and additional gathering space, one of the bedrooms features a memory foam queen size sleeper sofa. The sleeper sofa was specially selected for its sleeping comfort, and features a 6" memory foam mattress and an additional 2" memory foam topper for a combined total of 8" of memory foam sleeping bliss. All four bathrooms include complete towel sets, and body wash/shampoo/conditioner dispensers in the shower. The master bathroom also features a whirlpool bathtub with lake view.
House amenities include a fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs, and dining for 14 people. All bedrooms, except the bunk room, offer Smart TV's with cable TV. The house is fully air conditioned, and Wi-Fi internet is available throughout the house. The deck features a screen tent with seating and dining table, and is located directly adjacent to the fire pit. Also included with your stay is use of the 20 foot Starcraft pontoon boat with 40HP Mercury motor, and seating for 11 people Including captain. And of course, there are plenty of other water toys including tubes, floating dock, floating island for 6, a single person kayak, 2 double person kayaks, and a lake badminton court!
Hay Lake offers 363 acres of fully recreational waters with truly amazing water clarity - you can see the lake bottom from the house! The lake is stocked by both the DNR and the Hand-Hay Lake Association, and features black crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, rock bass, walleye, and many other fish species. Approximately half of the lake shore is completely natural and undeveloped - this is truly Sanctuary at Hay Lake! The lake has no known invasive species -- we thank you for doing your part to keep it that way.

Beautiful and Serene
The listing doesn't do this property justice! The home and area is peaceful, relaxing and well kept. The property had everything we needed for our annual extended family weekend and more. Loved the provided amenities and the comfort of the accommodations! Can't wait to stay again.

Perfect for Lake Life
Great property for our extended family group of 10. We had everything we needed. The lake is beautiful, nicely explored via pontoon, kayaks, standup paddle board, etc. The glamping tent was a fun extra option for sleeping.

Sanctuary Stay
We have stayed at Jay’s properties three times and he continues to impress. His communication is flawless and his commitment to the guest experience is second to none. We really enjoyed Sanctuary at Hay Lake and all the amenities. The home is spacious and set up for families. The pontoon and water activities kept everyone happy, but should you need inside activities The Sanctuary has lots of space, games, movies and a gorgeous view! We look forward to our Sanctuary stays in the future!
