Sandalwood Retreat on Round Lake - Enjoy our screened porch & gorgeous sunsets 

UPDATE: Our weeks for summer 2024 are already filing up fast! Please check out our photos with descriptions of the spaces.

This luxury vacation home on Round Lake in Hayward, WI sleeps up to 18-20 guests comfortably with amazing lake views. For family gatherings we have space for 10-12 adults and 6-8 kids. And for adult only groups there is space for up to 14-15 guests to sleep comfortably. Sorry, NO pets are allowed.

The home has over 5,000 sq ft with 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. This property is meant for year-round vacationers with heat and air conditioning throughout. There is a gas fireplace on the main floor, so don’t forgot about winter getaways, especially your group for the Birkie! One of our most exciting features is a wraparound deck with a fully enclosed screened porch to enjoy spectacular sunsets. The bonus space above the garage has an additional area for guests to enjoy with a toy area and Nintendo Wii U gaming system for the kids.

The basement is meant for entertaining! There is a large lounge area with big screen TV, as well as a kitchen and bar area with an additional TV. And don’t worry, you won’t be disconnected either. There is high speed Starlink satellite Wi-Fi throughout the property for everyone to use. For those rainy summer days we have plenty to do inside including a commercial grade air hockey table, 4-player arcade machine and Shelti foosball table. Check out our pictures to see all the toys!

Walk right out the basement to the large, smokeless firepit with 8 chairs. Enjoy an outdoor game with our custom printed bean bag boards while you lounge by the fire. Or go down the stairs to enjoy the lake, where is a large dock space with a splash pad and kayaks for use.

You can bring your own boat or pontoon to the property and there is ample parking room for a trailer. New for summer 2023 is a boat/pontoon lift that will accommodate any pontoon and most boats as well. We require use of the lift overnight and during inclement weather to avoid damage to the dock or boats as well as property of our neighbors. If you are looking for rentals, we recommend contacting Round Lake Marina or Hayward Power Sports to help with pontoon or boat rentals for your visit. If you are interested in renting something for your stay, we recommend calling these places right away as they book fast!

The cabin is located on the main body of Round Lake with sweeping views of the lake. We are located just minutes from local restaurants Powell’s on Round Lake, The Dock and Tamarack Farms BBQ, pizza and winery. The town of Hayward is only 10 minutes away to enjoy shopping, go karts, mini golf and of course the candy shop!

For the summer months of mid-June, July and August, check-in will be on Friday with check-out the following Friday, with 7 night stay required. Off season stays will be a 2-3 night minimum.

Another amazing stay at the Sandalwood Retreat
Our group of 9 adults and 4 babies and toddlers just had our yearly winter gathering for the second time at the sandalwood retreat and it was just as fabulous as last year. The rooms are diverse but fantastic and offer all the comforts you could want- pack and plays fit in the closet, ensuits in three of them, comfortable beds, extra linens and they are all super quiet, even when there's a ruckus in the livingroom. The annex over the garage was a great spot for the childless among us to retreat but also a wonderful play area for the kids. We cooked several delicious meals in the large, beautiful kitchen and enjoyed all the games and play spaces in the basement. We do dream of visiting again in the summer to enjoy the outdoor spaces more but the house is so large that we never felt cooped up. Our hosts were wonderful to work with and responded quickly to any questions. We would absolutely stay here again!

Hayward Highlight
Perfect location for our family! We brought our boat for the first time - the lift worked great - seemed like it could fit a lot of boats. Lake was great - lots to explore, and it wasn't small. The house was loaded with toys and games any kind of group would work here:). We had a great time!

Family reunion
We enjoyed the opportunity to be together in a home that gave all family members the space and flexibility to enjoy each other’s presence as well as time to be apart and respectful of each person’s feelings or needs. Family dinners were especially enjoyed because of the space allowed for comfortable gatherings of 12 people (4families). The nightly fires in the yard overlooking the lake were especially enjoyable.

Best ever
Our family has enjoyed a week in the Hayward lakes area for over 10 years. This was our 3rd stay on Round Lake — a favorite. Sandlewood Retreat is by far the nicest property we have ever rented TJ & Kendall are very attentive hosts. We’re already booked for next year

Amazing house, amazing lake!
We had the best week, probably my favorite VRBO of all time! The house is SO cool, stylish, spacious and perfect for a big group. We had 18 people and we all had our own space but also the house has great gathering spaces. The screened in porch is great with a table and a lounge area, we loved the fire pit and chairs, we had so much fun playing in the basement and countless hours jumping off the pier into the crystal clear lake. Leading up to our stay and a couple questions to Thomas while we were there, he was fantastic. I honestly don’t think I ever waited more than 5 minutes for an answer from him! The house is clean, the property is gorgeous and we enjoyed so many beautiful sunsets! Highly recommend!

Summer Family Vacation
The property is fantastic. The layout of the house was well designed for our party of extended family, plenty of space for all of us to hang out together, or be away from each other when needed. The screened porch was one of our favorite places to relax. Games in the basement provided great entertainment when we had too much lake time. Round Lake is a beautiful, clear lake, our family enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming when we needed a break from the boat. I highly recommend this property.

Great modern cabin on a crystal clear lake
We’ve stayed at many properties through VRBO and this one was top notch. The property managers were very proactive and responsive in communicating before and during arrival. Boating, fishing, swimming, beautiful sunsets and lots to do inside when the weather didn’t cooperate with the game room, open living area and spacious screen porch. We couldn’t ask for more and hope to return in the future.
