Family Vacation
We enjoyed our time at the lake at this beautiful location. The house was well stocked, which made it easy to settle in. It was easy to communicate with the owners, and they graciously accommodated a last minute pontoon rental request. The house was lovely and the property felt private so was a great place to relax and create new family memories. We would love to go back.

Fabulous well detailed cottage
The home is spotless and perfectly appointed. Two rooms are cozy but have great storage with dressers and closets! Kitchen is spacious and great place to gather. Screened porch is a complete bonus and picturesque. Lake is amazing and clean. Weed free entrance.

Our week-long stay at Runamuk Roost was great. The description of the cabin and amenities was spot on. I always bring my own knives and a few specialty pans, like a big stock pot and a stove-top griddle. But the kitchen was well stocked. We were 8 people: 2 grandparents, their sons and their spouses, a 21-month old toddler, a 10-month old baby, and a dog. It is a very nice, very beautiful and peaceful setting. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The property has a beautiful western view across a 198 acre lake. We watched sunsets from the end of the dock or gathered around the fire pit above the beach. The lake has a breeding loon pair. They had 2 loonlets. Don't miss the chicken-fried steak at the Hayward Family Restaurant or the pastries at Firehouse Bakery and Deli in Hayward. It was a wonderful family week in a wonderful setting.

Great Experience
We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and defintily gives you the cabin/cottage feel. Great sand beach for the kids to play. Water is a little under waist deep at the end of the dock which is very nice for new swimmers. Lake is quiet and clean. Interior furnishings and decor was very well done. Comfortable beds and the perfect place for rest and relaxation!

Best Vacation Rental
We had a wonderful week with great fishing, beautiful clear water, and an abundance of nature. The log cabin lake home was so clean and spacious. After renting other properties for our yearly family gathering each summer for the last 25 years, this was by far the nicest home we have ever enjoyed! We will definitely be returning next year. Thank you, Joan, for all your hospitality!

Amazing and Peaceful
Property is gorgeous. The kitchen has a large center island for preparing food and hanging out. The house has woods on both sides and is on a dead end street. Very little boat traffic and the sandy shallow beach area was perfect for our 3 year old granddaughter. We saw 7 loons and a variety of ducks. Loved the fact that it felt secluded yet was close to downtown Hayward, grocery store, and restaurants. We would definitely rebook and recommend this property.

Great cabin experience
Our stay at this property was nothing short from amazing. The house had plenty of room for all 10 of us who stayed and was exactly as described. The lake was clean and everyone enjoyed swimming. The owner was great to work with and always responded quickly if we ever had any questions. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you would need. We have nothing but good things to say and would definatley stay at this property again.

Great Fall Getaway Cabin
Perfect property for a few friends to spend an extended fall getaway. Close to Hayward, quiet location right on the lake. The cabin had perfect sized rooms for us to gather, play games, cook etc. Loved the gas fireplace and living room area! Had a small issue with the furnace, but Joan and Jim responded right away and had someone come quickly to resolve it.
