The Hamlet Lake homestead is our 10-acre family home with two unique and private hip-camp sites. The Hamlet Lake Bunkhouse is located to the west of our home in its own secluded parcel next to the lake. The Camp on Hamlet Hill is to the north of our home, on a remote flat hill at the top of our property, on a hill over Cedar brook. with 300-acre, (private) Hamlet Lake in front, and the wide portion of the 20-mile Cedar brook in the back. We are a large "homesteading" family, with chickens, ducks, and a garden. The campsite is a private 1/2 acre clearing, surrounded by woods with a firepit, grill, cooking utensils, and an outhouse. (Tents are available for a small additional cost). There is an outdoor water pump below the hill. Guests can access the waterfront and beach in front, with the use of the swim raft, lily pad, fishing dock, canoe, kayak, and paddle boards included. At nearly 100 feet deep, Hamlet lake also boasts excellent fishing. Our home is located 6 miles from Crosby, with the world-class Cuyuna Lakes 50-mile mountain bike trail system. Crosby is a growing tourist town with many new and unique restaurants, outdoor adventures, and shopping opportunities. The paved bike trail begins 3.5 north of us. Milacs lake is 10 miles to the south.

Park at the bottom of our hill near our home, and take a 100-yard winding walk through the woods, (or drive your vehicle all the way up the hill and park directly at the campsite). At our family friendly site, enjoy the secluded natural beauty of our hilltop clearing, sit around the campfire, explore Cedar Brook to the north of the site, or come down the hill to the south and swim, canoe, or fish in the beautiful Hamlet Lake. The campsite is a private 1/2 acre clearing, surrounded by woods with a firepit, grill, picnic tables, cooking utensils, and an outhouse. New this year is a repurposed camper which can be used by guests in addition to or in lieu of a tent. It sleeps 2 adults plus storage and a couple of kids. There is an outdoor water pump at the base of the hill. Guests can access the waterfront and beach in front, with the use of the swim raft, lily pad, fishing dock, kayak, and canoe included. At nearly 100 ft deep, Hamlet lake also boasts excellent fishing. Our home is located 6 miles from Crosby, home of the world-class Cuyuna Lakes 50-mile mountain bike trail system. Crosby is a growing tourist town with many new and unique restaurants, outdoor adventures, and shopping opportunities. The paved bike trail begins 3.5 north of us. Milacs lake is 10 miles to the south. Note: church pastors get a 50% discount! (Note: Camper-vans, pop-ups and small travel trailers can work but due to the steepness and narrowness of the hill, nothing bigger is recommended. Feel free to message us with questions)
