About this property

Lake Cabin on Round Lake, Hayward, WI

Our cabin is a lovely 1400 sq foot 2 bedroom cabin perched on the edge of a 50 foot slope down to the lake. From the deck there is a stunning and panoramic view of the lake through pines on the slope with bald eagles nesting in the treetops right in front of you as you sit on the deck drinking your morning coffee. The view is to the north so the sun rises over the lake to your right and sets to your left, often with brilliant colors. The lot is forested so there is lots of shade on the hotter days. There is a boat lift and 40 foot private dock with a staircase down to the lake. There is a canoe you can use if you bring it back up where we store it on the west end of the garage/there are paddles in the garage just inside the man door on the lake side of the garage. The lake bottom is very gradual so an adult can wade out about 200 feet before getting in over his head. The bank is rip-rapped but after the first 10 feet or so the bottom is mostly sandy and great for swimming. Lake temperatures are about 70 degrees or more by the end of June and the lake is so clear that you can see down 10 feet or more so it's a wonderful place to swim and snorkel. It has a full kitchen with refrigerator, range, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster. There is a septic system and no disposal so there is a screen in the kitchen sink and you have to be careful to keep any debris from going down the drain. There is no dishwasher. The great room has a wonderful view of the lake through sliding patio doors and bay window and is about 25 by 30 including the sitting areas, dining area and galley kitchen. There is a large sectional with a TV, DVD player and cable TV. There is internet access with a wireless router. There is also a trundle bed in the great room. The lower bed can be brought out so 2 can sleep there or it can be left underneath and 1 can sleep there. There are 2 bedrooms. The master has a queen size bed. The other bedroom has 2 twins. There is a full bath with tub/shower, lavatory and toilet. A second bathroom has a stand up shower and toilet, and then a larger room with a laundry tub, medicine chest, mirror and coat racks. Outside there is a charcoal grill, portable fire pit, wood supply, deck table and chairs and front lawn for bocci ball, playing catch or sitting in the adirondack chairs under the trees and reading. It's about 2 miles to the Indian casino and about 7 miles to Hayward which is a resort town of over 2000 people with restaurants, large grocery stores, gift shops, hardware stores and places to rent all kinds of watercraft. There is a marina on the lake that sells gas, rents pontoon boats, speed boats and other kinds of watercraft. It is a 20-30 minute drive to rent canoes and tubes to float the Namakagon River which holds smallmouth bass, muskies and northerns. The upper stretch above Hayward holds considerable numbers of brown trout. Hayward Country Club is a wonderful golf course that is open to the public and is right in town. It is an old-style golf course with lots of trees and always in immaculate shape. It's about $55 with cart, $44 for seniors 62 and over. A Pete Dye designed golf course called Big Fish is 2 miles from the cabin, right across the road from the casino. It's a more difficult course with an open links-style front nine and a hilly back nine that winds through the forest. There are a number of other nice courses in the area within about 30 minutes. My favorite is Spooner GC in Spooner-really scenic, rolling hills and always in wonderful shape. I may accept dogs after we've discussed it on the phone and I've agreed to have you bring them..

This is a classic cabin full of vintage charm with an amazing view and stairs down to beautiful Round Lake. It has a well appointed kitchen (we visited the farmer's market and ate in a lot) and canoe for guest use. Bring your floaties (or go shopping in Hayward and buy some along with taffy and cashew brittle). As a bonus saw the aurora borealis. Plan to be back next year.

Beautiful Lake Cabin

This is our 3rd time here which should tell you how much we like it. The view is to die for and we had so much fun canoeing with the provided canoe and playing on the floaties we brought. It's a quick drive to Hayward where we also had fun and some nice dinners! Highly recommended!

Round Lake Cabin

We had a fantastic time at Greg's cabin! It was as pictured. Clean and tidy; beautiful views over Round Lake. There are 50 steps down to the dock; we did not have a boat - brought paddle boards and floats. The lake is clear and sandy. We did the mountain bike trails near by and tubed down the Namekagon. Also went to a couple of recommended nearby restaurants. Thank you for a great trip!

Cute cabin on round lake

I stayed here for 4 nights in June with my mom and 7 year old son. The weather didn’t cooperate so we spent a lot of time inside playing games and relaxing. Internet worked great, streaming services and some tv channels. Kitchen is fully stocked with tons of supplies. Loved the big couch overlooking the lake views. Shower was hot with good pressure. Bed in the larger bedroom isn’t comfortable and could be replaced (per my mom). Never used the wood stove but instructions were clear on how to use it. My son got duck itch twice swimming off the dock (before the rain started and then again 3 days after constant rain). I’ve been coming to Hayward for years and never had that happen. If it happens to you, wipe down head to toe with isopropyl alcohol and then apply cortisone cream. It stopped the itch within an hour. Owner is available to communicate anytime. Appreciate this homey Hayward cabin. We’ll be back!

Quite Fishing & Hiking Long Weekend

The owner provided clear instructions and great information of the area such as where to eat, grocery shop and how to fish the lake. Caught some nice walleyes the first couple of days then it got slow. Was catching them on lindy rigs using crawlers when they were biting. Spent a day up at Cooper Falls hiking the park which was about an hour north. Well worth the drive. The cabin was clean and roomy with a nice deck that looks over the lake. It was no problem for my wife and I to climb the stairs up and down to the pier but would not recommend for those who are not somewhat physically fit and capable. All in all a great relaxing trip after the Labor Day weekend creating an empty lake.

Great lakefront cabin on a clear lake

Nice spot to stay on a clear water lake (Round Lake). Served us well for a fishing vacation as we visited 4 different water bodies in total all within 20 minutes of the cabin. Great cabin for 2 to 4 visitors though it will sleep 6. A couple extra spider webs had to be dealt with but it all worked out really well. And the eagles visited twice that we saw during our visit. Very cool. Would stay again if busing Sawyer County again.

Round Lake lake home

Very nice property just as described on site. Great lake views from cabin and deck. Greg was communicative and pleasant throughout the process. Had severe storm hit just prior to our stay and called to report damage to dock and boat lift the next day, which didn't affect us as we were not bringing a boat. Good swimming right off dock. Stairs from cabin to lake are no joke however...50 steep steps. Nice restaurants closeby. Overall worked well for our adult family.

About the host

Hosted by Gregory Ralston

Host profile image

I live in Oregon full time but grew up in Rochester, Minnesota. My Mom and Dad built the cabin in 1985 and I inherited it in 2012. I've been there every year for at least 2 weeks with my family since 1985. I'm now a fully retired emergency physician. I spend about 4 weeks at the cabin each July doing repairs and maintenance, fishing, golfing, having reunions and relaxing and often come back for a couple weeks in May to open it up for the season and again in September to fish with friends, clean it up in preparation for shutting down for the winter.. In Oregon I grow a large garden with strawberries, fruit trees, flowers and vegetables.

Why they chose this property

I inherited the cabin from my parents in 2012. Dad was a physician at the Mayo Clinic but a fairly skilled carpenter too. He built the kitchen cabinets and lots of other things in the cabin. I've always loved the setting and the lake and hope to keep the cabin in the family, passing it down to my kids.

What makes this property unique

The lake is phenomenal, clear and nice swimming temperatures in the summer but the most compelling aspect is the view from the living area and deck. People always love it.
