About this property

The House on Round - Book for Fall Colors Now! Kayaks Included!

Enjoy lake life on a quiet bay of one of Hayward's premier lakes. The bay is home to loons, bald eagles, owls, deer, otters, ducks, and frogs as well as an occasional bear. Beyond the bay, Round Lake is renowned for boating, fishing, and swimming (NOTE: The shoreline in front of the house is not good for swimming). Take one of our provided kayaks (there's 2 of them) and make your way to the nearby sandbar or across the lake to the island to swim, picnic, and play.

Our private chalet features 3 bedrooms (each with its own private veranda) and 3.5 bathrooms, a 3-season screen porch, dining room, living room, and a family room. There is ample space for 10+ guests.

Prepare your meals in the fully stocked kitchen or cook on the gas grill and dine on the wrap-around deck. Enjoy the main floor fireplace (wood provided), the family room gas fireplace, and the fire pit in the expansive yard.

Modern necessities are also provided such as wifi access, 2 smart TVs for your gaming system or streaming services, central air, and a full-size washer and dryer at no extra charge.

There is space at the dock for one additional boat if you wish to bring one and a public boat launch is close by. We also have 2 kayaks for use by all

A Note About Dogs:
We LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) Up to two dogs are allowed with prior approval- an additional fee applies. That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog(s).

We may not be the vacation rental for you if your dog(s):
*Consider barking to be a favorite pastime;
*Chew things other than bones;
*Cannot bear to be on a tie-out;
*Use the house as a bathroom.

We ask that your dogs be supervised when at the house and crated when you are not (One large crate is available at the cabin). We provide a long suspended lead in the front yard, but please do not leave him/her out if you are not on the property. Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Hayward Bliss!

Had a perfect “Up North” getaway with the family. The lake home & views were gorgeous and exactly as advertised. Having the pontoon boat on site and ready upon arrival was very convenient too! Great trip!

Wonderful cabin

The cabin was perfect for our family vacation. The cabin has plenty of space, was well equipped and clean. We rented the pontoon and it was so nice to explore the lake. The owner was very quick with responding to any questions. I would stay here again if I was in the Hayward area again.

Gorgeous home, and extremely comfortable!

We all loved the home! It is comfortable, and well-furnished; the kitchen is well stocked; the beds were quite comfortable too. The owner was having issues with the home's HVAC, but he kept us apprised so there were no surprises. We were sorry to leave!

A Calm Christmas Break

Our family had a challenging year and needed a calm Christmas celebration. The cabin was lovely, in a beautiful setting. It was spacious, allowing us the room for solitude and then togetherness. There was not one thing that we needed that wasn't in the cabin. It gave each of us the time to recharge and reset. Thank you. Thank you

Wonderful Getaway

First and foremost, the host was extremely helpful. They stayed in contact throughout the process and were quick to respond to questions before and during the stay. The property was beautiful. It was extremely clean and well cared for. While there are neighbors, you wouldn’t know it. It was quiet and peaceful the entire day. The perfect relaxing getaway location. There is a very nice level side yard that is perfect for yard games.

Beautiful Setting

My family and I exclusively stay at VRBO properties and average 6 or more stays over the course of a year. This property is in a beautiful setting, far enough from the main road where you do not have much road noise. Access to the lake is excellent and having a pair of loons calling every night at dark was nothing short of magical. We were however a bit disappointed in the cleanliness of the property however, that would not prevent us from staying again. The host was extremely accommodating to all of our questions and requests. A great experience and we will most likely visit again.

Awesome Property

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. Plenty of room to spread out and had everything we needed right down to chairs to use around the bonfire. It was nice to have 2 refrigerators so we could store extra beverages in one and keep the food in the other. Eliminated the need for coolers. Able to set up a yard game next to the deck in the backyard. Enjoyed tooling around the lakes in the kayaks that were provided. Great views! Host quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

The cabin location was excellent. It was located on a quiet bay off the main lake .The beds and main room furniture was very comfortable. Absolutely love the driveway with a large circle by the cabin to pull a trailer into and not have to worry about backing it out. Would like to see the king bed moved into the main floor master. Jesse was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you. Will be back someday.
