The real attraction begins when you step outside, because some of the best memories happen here!

Hawks Hideaway sits directly on Lay Lake with over 90 feet of waterfront access and seawall, giving you and your group space to experience one of Alabama’s favorite recreational lakes. Dockside access for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, fishing, or just floating around off the dock!
Bring your fishing gear, spend the afternoon on the water, or simply hang out and enjoy lake life, sights and sounds. Don't forget your binoculars - the egrets, herons, eagles, and osprey are amazing to watch!

In the evening, settle into the warm and bubbly hot tub as your favorite teams play or favorite show airs on the outdoor SmartTV, and take in the lake with a night-view that beats all others! The patio dining space and Blackstone griddle are just several feet away on the terrace. The Adirondack chairs on the top deck are also beckoning - gather around the large gas fire pit with your favorite people and feel like you’re in the trees with the best lake side view. It’s the perfect place to relax with a drink, tell stories, watch the sky change over the lake, and plan tomorrow’s adventures.
