Mina Starsiak Hawk and Husband Steve Reveal a New ‘Healing’ Lake House in Good Bones Spinoff; See Here

As a devoted fan of the Starsiak-Hawk clan, I am beyond ecstatic about Mina Takes the Lake! This spinoff series promises to be a heartwarming journey that not only showcases their remarkable renovation skills but also delves into their personal lives.


Mina Starsiak Hawk, known from Good Bones, returns with a heartwarming spinoff show. This time around, she and her husband, Steve Hawk, will be the center of attention as they work on a unique project: renovating an emotionally significant lakeside home in Indiana. The series promises to be both moving and motivational.

For the Hawks, this renovation project carries more than just a typical significance; it’s a symbol of hope and healing, stemming from Steve’s personal struggles. Over the past few years, Steve has endured a string of heartbreaking incidents: in 2018, he lost his mother to stomach cancer, followed by his father’s unexpected death from a fall six months later, and tragically, his younger sister Stefanie succumbed to ethanol poisoning in 2020. These devastating losses have left an indelible mark on Steve and his family. As Mina explains, this lake house is meant to serve as a sanctuary for healing and the start of new chapters in their lives.

In a sneak peek, Mina shared, “The tranquil lake house will provide a significant sense of healing for Steve, given his recent string of devastating losses.” She continued, “He’s doing his best to navigate life, and this peaceful retreat should offer him respite.” The lake house is designed to foster joyful moments for their young children, Jack (5) and Charlie (3). As Steve’s time with his family was unfortunately limited, Mina noted, “We aimed to secure the lake house for Jack and Charlie – for their future, for memories they’ll cherish, and for the experiences that will enrich their lives.”

On HGTV, the new spinoff series titled “Mina’s Lake Adventure” is set to debut. The initial 90-minute episode will follow Mina as she purchases and renovates a lakeside property, providing a glimpse into the Hawks’ mission to turn their dream into a tangible reality. Additionally, it delves into the personal meaning behind this project for them.

In the spin-off of Good Bones, Karen E. Laine – Mina’s mother from the original series – takes center stage. Instead of renovating homes in Indiana like before, she now ventures into a new project in Wilmington, North Carolina: transforming a 120-year-old bungalow into a charming beach house. This ambitious endeavor carries significant financial risk as Karen has used her retirement savings to fund this project.

As a dedicated follower, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming spinoff will delve into shifting family landscapes, a topic I can relate to personally. Previously, there have been hints of tension within my own family, particularly with Laine, and this intricate dynamic will be vividly portrayed in the series. We’ll journey together as we confront our personal struggles and victories, striving to navigate these transformations that life has thrown our way.

On Wednesday, August 14th, at either 9 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) or Pacific Time (PT), HGTV will debut the new show “Mina Takes the Lake.” Both fans of “Good Bones” and first-timers can tune in to see Mina and Steve transform a space into a haven that carries fresh dreams and cherished recollections.

After the initial airing, two additional episodes will delve deeper into the topic, highlighting distinct facets of the remodeling process and personal transformations. The show intends to examine the hurdles Laine encounters during her beach house reconstruction and Mina’s experiences with the lake house. It will offer a blend of exciting renovation moments and heartfelt storytelling.
