Family Friendly Cottage w/Spectacular Views of Round Lake-Hayward, WI

This 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage sleeps 8 and is just minutes from Hayward.

This lake cottage features a full kitchen with granite countertops, modern appliances, central air conditioning, living room equipped with a smart tv and free WiFi and private dock for your boating and swimming enjoyment. Enjoy the spectacular views from the 3- season room and large deck that overlook Round Lake. Everyone will enjoy the lower level rec room filled with entertainment complete with a gas fireplace, tv, foosball, ping pong, dartboard and card table. Plus many card and board games all ages will be sure to love. Enjoy evenings by the outdoor fire pit, just steps outside from the screened porch. A walk down the steps will bring you to the dock where you can tie up your watercraft of choice for your water adventures. A canoe with paddles, two bicycles (child/woman's size) and a floating oasis (I-float) are provided for your enjoyment. There is also a propane gas grill provided for your cooking and grilling needs.

The Master bedroom is located on the main level and offers a queen bed, large walk-in closet, master bath and patio doors that walk out onto a private deck.
Bedroom #2 has a queen bed and is located on second level.
Bedroom #3 has 2 twin beds and is located on second level.
There's also a FULL SIZE Sofa Sleeper in rec room and one air mattress available.

The dock accommodates boats up to 40 feet in length. The water level at the end of the dock is about 4 1/2 feet deep. Please note that the dock is typically pulled from the water mid-to-late October, dependent on the weather.
The water is clear to about 10 feet of depth, so swimming can be done from the dock. Water shoes are recommended as some areas have a gravel bottom.

Round Lake is approximately a 3,000 acre lake with 19 miles of shoreline with many bays. The lake is a spring fed lake and is so clear - you can see the bottom at 10 ft.
It has a sandy bottom and shoreline and is great for swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking and canoeing.
Round lake does have a public beach for kids to enjoy a sandy beach. There are several other beaches and sand bars obtainable by boat.
For your convenience, there is an on lake boat rental service located at Round Lake Marina.

Could be more comfortable
Our family of 6 stayed here over Labor Day weekend. Pros: spectacular views, many amenities (eg games and kitchen tools), and enough square footage. Cons: no room for pantry storage / food, dirty grill tools, uncomfortable mattresses (eg the blow up one had a hole / deflated), loud fans, poor air circulation. We were happy enough, but got the sense that the owners don’t stay here to experience what their guests experience.

Family friendly summer spot
My family rented this property for a few nights to catch up with my brother and his kids. All the kids (ages 10-15) had a blast on the floating oasis down at the lake. Such a lovely home with a fantastic view of Round Lake. We were all in agreement that we wanted to stay longer.

Wonderful summer vacation for the fit.
The lake is wonderful. Big, crystal clear, warm. Plenty fish but you have to find them. I did. The property is on point. Clean, comfortable, and with a beatiful view like described in the listing. What is not memtioned (or we may have missed it) that it takes over 80 steps to get down to the lake amd yes, back up. We're pretty fiit and it was challenging a few times daily. Our elderly parent however, made it down only once. Otjerwise highly recommended.

Up North Perfect Stay!
Our family of 8 makes a trip to Hayward every year. We decided to try this place and so glad we did! Everything about this property was absolutely wonderful! The location, the way the space was laid out, the cleanliness (very clean!), the board games, card games, fully stocked kitchen, garage use, the grill, furnished basement with ping pong table, darts and foosball. Our favorite place was the three seasons room - drinking coffee, watching the water and pines blowing in the wind. Our kids also loved it for reading books and playing games. The communication with Greta was fantastic as well! She is just wonderful. Honestly, there is nothing we would change. We really look forward to coming back next year.

Great Lake Stay
We had a group of 6 of us that stayed here for a family/friends golfing trip. The house was great, lake views breathtaking, and outdoor/patio space was immense. The house was well stocked, clean, and communication with the owner was seamless. The only negative about this place is the number of stairs down and steepness of them to the lake. The views the steep grade provides as immaculate, but as a parent would be a consideration for me bringing my family.

Great place for a family getaway
We are an outdoorsy family who enjoy fishing, canoeing, biking, hiking, and of course hanging on your beautiful porch watching the loons. We even saw bald eagles fly by at eye level since the cabin is up where you can see the whole lake. Great place to reconnect as a family.

Beautiful Stay
We really enjoyed our stay! The view from the upstairs porch is second to none! We also enjoyed the downstairs porch, which helped us avoid bugs, not that there were very many. There are a lot of stairs down to the lake, but we still spent two afternoons floating on the lake, and thought it was well worth the effort.

Stunning views, ample room, clean and comfortable
We stays as a family of 4 and there was so much room. Definitely could have had double the people and still plenty of room. The property was clean and there were so many supplies. It was nice to have in case we forgot something. Check in and out was well laid out and simple. Owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay again. 2 things to be aware of. 1. 77 steps to the lake. Not a big deal for us, but something to consider when booking. The pictures are accurate. 2. Good swimming dock, but no cleats or bumpers to easily tie up a boat. We just ran to Walmart and got more bumpers and made it work. Crystal clear lake!! Water off dock is not too deep, but worked wonderful for wading and no problem getting boat in. It is rocky, so aqua shoes are good. Saw so many loons and eagles. Very cool. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! Highly recommend!
