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.
Please note that this property does not have A/C.
