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.

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.

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 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!

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!!

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!
