Great Place for a family getaway!

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!!!!

A dream VRBO

What a beautiful property on the lake. The view was fantastic, the dock easily reached, and the house was in great shape. The big spacious deck offered a great place to have coffee, eat, or just enjoy the view. Will surely be a repeat customer.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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!

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!! The Brownson Family

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!
