ROUND LAKE ROOST is a 2-story well-maintained home of approximately 2700 sq ft located on the western shore of Round Lake. With 1.5 acres of level elevation guests can enjoy over 150 ft of sandy bottomed crystal clear shoreline. Bonfires in the lakeside firepit, relaxing in the hammock, recreating on the picnic point, and even fishing in the private inlet are just a few of the great features this property has to offer. This cabin has year-round accommodations and WIFI is available throughout the home.

MAIN FLOOR (Living room, kitchen, deck, 3 bedrooms, bath, master bedroom and master bath): The main floor has a fully equipped kitchen with newer appliances, living room with flat panel TV and a wood burning fireplace. Fall of 2019, the kitchen was remodeled, to have an open flow feeling. The kitchen also has a bar counter with stools, just adjacent to the dining area which allows seating for 12. The living room also has numerous large windows and sliding door access to the raised deck which spans the entire lake side of the cabin. Breathtaking sunrises and stunning lake views from many rooms-- living room, master suite and lower level family room.

MASTER BEDROOM: Main floor master bedroom suite (approximately 200 sq. ft.) includes a King bed, private bath, walk-in closet and sliding glass doors to the deck. This bedroom can accommodate a Pack-n-Play and air mattresses, if needed.

BUNK ROOM: The main floor bunk room has two bunk beds (twin over full) with sleeping accommodations for 6 children or 4 adults. This room has lockers for kids, a large closet, and a 40" TV/DVD player with comfy seating on the floor (perfect for kids).

QUEEN ROOMS (2) and BATH: Two other queen bedrooms and a full bath are located just off the main floor hallway. Both queen rooms offer comfortable queen beds with ample closet space.

LOWER LEVEL (Family room, laundry, bath, office/study nook and access to garage): A stunning stone fireplace with a Northwoods log mantel is the focal point of the lower level family room. With a gas fireplace, 50' flat screen TV, DVD player and cable TV with 125 channels, everyone can enjoy their time relaxing after their lake adventures. A 3/4 bath is just around the corner. An office/study nook provides an area for those that need it. The washer/dryer is on the lower level also.

An additional lower level space can serve as a bedroom if guests wish to have additional sleeping options. Sofa bed and air mattresses/bedding are available upon request.

LOCATION: Round Lake Roost is located near the end of Sunrise Road on the southwest edge of Round Lake. As you enter the driveway you are welcomed to this captivating property--to the lake home with stunning views from its many large lakeside windows, a generous parking area for cars and trailers, and the private inlet--unique to so few properties in the area.

While enjoying the sights and sounds of nature and all its wildlife, it is a short jaunt of about 150 ft on level ground walking along the shore of the private inlet to reach the 157' of hard sandy bottomed crystal clear lakeshore. The tree-lined lot, private inlet, level elevation, sandy swim area, crystal clear lake, lakeside fire pit and 150+ ft of shoreline make this an ideal family retreat for your Northwoods adventure.

The fishing is excellent on this lake— 3294 acres with maximum depth of 74 feet. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. There are 3 public boat landings with access at Peninsula Rd less than 5 minutes away.

ADVENTURES ABOUND--There are restaurants on the lake and in the surrounding area, along with bait and tackle shops and marinas. Main Street Hayward is just 6 miles away with great downtown shops, bakery, restaurants, grocer, winery and post office. So relax and enjoy the lake, but make a quick trip to town to enjoy all it has to offer also. SKI, HIKING, SNOWMOBILE and ATV trails are all accessible while on your Northwoods adventure.

FISHING DOCK AND BOATING: We have room for 2 to 3 boats (depending on size). There is a dock and bumpers for docking boats. Fish cleaning station is available.

BOAT RENTAL: Round Lake Marina is just off of Highway B on the southern edge of Round Lake. They have a variety of rental choices. Other recreational rental businesses are located in the surrounding area.

CLEANING: Round Lake Roost is very clean. We will have the cabin deep-cleaned after every use. All linens, bedding, blankets, spreads, and throw rugs are laundered prior to your stay. We live nearby and will be able to take care of any problems or additional needs.

The Roost Rules!
This is a sweet spot. The house is clean, comfortable, and on a beautiful lake. The kitchen is as well stocked as any rental property we have stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few) and the communication with the owner was excellent. The pictures are accurate and we loved our stay. Thanks for having us!

What a beautiful property on the lake. The view was fantastic, the dock easily reached, and the house was in great shape. The big spacious deck offered a great place to have coffee, eat, or just enjoy the view. Will surely be a repeat customer.

Beautiful!
The Roost was so wonderful! There is lots of space and rooms to relax and spread out in! The deck is huge, we loved spending time out there in the evenings and had happy hour! The path to the lake was smooth and it's so wonderful that we didn't have a million stairs to navigate! Fantastic location! We always love Big Round! We had a late-August miracle that it was still hot weather and we could jump in the lake without freezing! I highly recommend!

2024 Winter Vacation
We head North every year for an annual snowmobile vacation. This house has the perfect location and you can snowmobile straight onto the lake from the driveway and back yard to trail #9 across Round Lake. This year however there was no snow! Luckily, family and friends we were with have ATV's so plan B was put into action and the ATV trails are also accessible from this property. We will be back next year!

I rented this for my family for a Memorial Day weekend getaway. We had 16 of us and we had plenty of room. Absolutely loved the backyard and view. The kids could kayak and fish and we could sit on the deck and keep an eye on them no problem with that little inlet. We would stay again for sure!!!!

Very Nice Getaway
We had a large group of guys ranging from the age of 25 to 65 and everyone had a good time. Plenty of space for everyone, plenty of sleeping spots and plenty to do in the area. The location for the fire pit was awesome, right on the lake, and everything was quiet and beautiful. Our group would tend to get a little loud when everyone was drinking and having a good time but the neighbors were all friendly and awesome and joined in the fun with us. Needless to say we would easily book with Mary and Ryan again.

absolute gem
This property suited our group of 6 just perfectly. Each couple had their own bedroom and their own space (if desired) between the lower and upper level living rooms AND their own bathroom. But I can see this sprawling floor plan accommodating much larger groups. The kitchen is completely equipped. There are fun board games and puzzles. The inlet is great for fishing and kayaking or canoeing. The fire pit provides a great view of the rest of the lake and the views out either level of the house over the lake are stunning. Just a short drive west into Hayward or east to other great destinations.

Family vacation at the “Roost” 8/22
Our family has vacationed in the Hayward area for 17 years. This year’s week at the “Roost” was outstanding. The property was exceptionally clean. The Hansens provided many towels, paper products and cleaning supplies. The second refrigerator and lower level area with the laundry were great. We enjoyed the deck and the beautiful location on Round Lake, one of our favorites. Many thanks!! The Brownson Family

A real pleasure
Upon arrival we were very impressed with this property; the pictures don't do it justice! We've never stayed at a place with so many "extra's" like plastic baggies, spare light bulbs, lots of extra dishwasher soap and even shampoo & body wash. We never found ourselves wanting anything! Our kids enjoyed the excellent fishing and catching frogs in the pond/inlet. We found the owner very responsive, but also respectful of our privacy. I highly recommend the Roost, and we plan to come back!

Round Lake Paradise
Clear water makes swimming and boating so enjoyable, and being able to swim right from the dock was great. It’s level out from the house to the lake, which is helpful for older family members. The charming inlet features a muskrat pair and is visited regularly by ducks, which made for fun viewing from the spacious deck. I can’t think of anything this place is lacking. We had a terrific stay and hope to return again!

We have rented this property 2 years consecutively. The owners are very nice people and have met our every wish - which is very little given all the amenities of this property. We are 5 adults and 3 children ages 5 and under. This location checks all the boxes for a lakeside property and water activities.
