We had a lovely getaway. The beach is so serene. Great water access. The team is super happy to help. The restuarant is a great experience - beautiful location, good service, and good food.

Had the most amazing time celebrating a bachelorette weekend! The owners and staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable—so kind, accommodating, and welcoming. The cottages were beautifully decorated with the cutest touches, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. One note: the staircase to the second floor is a bit narrow and could be tricky for anyone with mobility issues or those who are a little clumsy (we had a few laughs!). The continental breakfast was simple, fresh, and delicious—just what we needed to start the day. But the highlight was dinner: a private table set up right by the water, and it was absolutely stunning. They truly did everything in their power to make the trip special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway!

Our girls getaway overnight at Hideaway Bay was AMAZING!! The management team and staff were all so kind and attentive… loved the cabin / bungalow setup, beautifully decorated, included everything you could possibly need!! Really enjoyed sitting on the balcony having drinks and snacks (loved their charcuterie board) with a great view of the lake … the hot tub and sauna were a big hit with us !! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Drift , and then a bonfire afterwards!! Well done at thinking of everything… kudos to you, Christian & Kevin… u 2 are awesome hosts!! Thank you again and we will definitely be back on another visit to Hideaway Bay :)

Perfect for a weekend or overnight. Tiny home-like houses to stay in. Great restaurant, really cool barrel sauna and hot tub that are heated with wood, bonfires on the beach. AMAZING! The 4 stars for the location is for the train that runs behind the resort. We did not find it to be a problem though.

Stayed here for a girls getaway. From the moment we arrived to check out, the entire staff was so nice and accommodating. I can't say enough about how nice they ALL were. We enjoyed time on the beach, in the hot tub, at the restaurant, the fire pit on the beach, sauna and breakfast! Beautiful cottages, very clean.
