About this property

Kayaking, fishing, swimming, and relax!

Three bedroom cottage almost on top of the water. Fall asleep at night listening to the waves lapping the shore and a cool breeze blowing through the window.

Round Lake is one of the top 5 cleanest lakes in Wisconsin. Spring fed, algae free and sandy bottom (not much of a need for water shoes). Go swimming and come out clean!

Fish for Walleye, Musky, Bass, Bluegills, Northern Pike and more.

The clean water continues inside the house - high pressure, extensively filtered (no orange hair), and great for drinking so no need to bring bottled water.

Kayaks, windsurfers and sailboats are available! BYOB (bring your own boat) and tie it up to the dock - there's a public boat ramp available at no charge (but PLEASE clean your boat and trailer off before you bring it so we can help keep the lake algae and invasive species free)!

Hold your sweetie's hand while you sit by the fire and enjoy the sunset. We have everything needed for s'mores and more.

BIG OPEN YARD - the roadside yard has been home to many a game of softball, volleyball, kick the can, hide and seek, badminton, horse shoes, football and bacce-ball.

Have fun with your kids - swing set, fishing, swimming and more!

Within a short drive are incredible experiences, including:
..o Explore the Ice Age Interpretive center just down the road
..o Drive 30 minutes and visit the Chippewa Falls Irvine Park Zoo
..o Hydroflite Ski shows every Thursday and Saturday within a 20 minute drive
There is internet. Weather may interfere with streaming ability at times. We cannot be held responsible for missed deadlines for work or school. A public library is 20 minutes away.
Although for best user experience we highly recommend all ages just unplug for a few days....

Details about our cottage:
..o All bedrooms have a view of the water, though not all like the lakeside queen sized master bedroom where you can lie in bed and watch the loons on the lake or watch a beautiful sunrise! Luggage rack provided to make things a little easier for you. (Disclaimer: Master does not have a door. A floor to ceiling privacy curtain hangs in the doorway).
..o 2nd bedroom has a double bed and luggage rack
..o Middle bedroom has a queen bed. Limited space around the bed but room for night stands. This was updated at the end of the season and no pictures were taken. It is just like the 2nd bedroom but has a bigger bed.
..o Extra linen, blankets and pillows in all bedrooms.
..o Ample floor space for at least 3 air mattresses (not provided).
..o One bathroom with shower/tub combo has new fixtures.
..o Bath and beach towels, a fresh bar of soap, shampoo and conditioner, Qtips, cotton balls and toilet paper (1 roll per day of the good stuff) are provided. Washer and dryer with laundry detergent, fabric softener sheets are provided.
..o Full size refrigerator in fully equipped kitchen.
..o Weber grill (bring your own charcoal)
..o No dishwasher (unless you bring the kids!)
..o Salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise provided as well as a start up supply of coffee, tea, creamer, and sugar. Most spices are on hand, also.
..o Dining table showed in pictures has extensions also stowed away in the closet and can seat up to 10 (let us know in advance and we can bring in more chairs and have it set up for you).
..o One AC window unit is in the family room. No other rooms have AC. With the prevailing winds coming off the cool lake, it is rarely needed.
..o Small electric space heaters are stowed in closets.
..o Game table with a handful of board games and chess in the family room.
..o Roadside small screened porch is a great place for playing or sitting in the event of rain. There is also a small fridge perfect for drinks or bait on the porch.
..o This is our family retreat and many family members use it during the year - you will find pictures of us in the house and personal stories if you ask.
..o Our artwork includes a good bit of original Alaskan art from when our family lived in Fairbanks, including Baleen, Masks, prints and other rare items we hope you enjoy.

Great Owners
Lacey and her husband were amazing and made our stay very enjoyable. The listing online was a little misleading as we thought there was an additional room with bunk beds. Beach is perfect for swimming with a sandy bottom and clean water. Enjoyable lake for relaxing and kayaking.

Round Lake Adventure
My husband and I brought out three grandchildren and our dog to Lacey's property and had a great vacation despite one rainy day:) The lake was beautiful and clean. We were in the water all four day, tubing, swimming, fishing and kayaking.

Cute and quaint cabin
Lacey and Will were wonderful to work with. Very quick responses and accommodating. We love being able to use the boat and kayaks. Will was very patient teaching us to drive his boat. They were extremely respectful of our space even though they were right next door. Would definitely rent from them again. The lake is so quiet and peaceful. Great for swimming and hanging out on the boat.

July 2019 vacation
We were more than pleasantly surprised with the cabin we rented. Will and Lacey were very friendly and welcoming and their cabin was awesome. They had everything you could imagine and we can’t wait to go back. The lake is great and we enjoyed many bonfires watching the sun set. So glad we found this place. Thank you Will and Lacey for everything. We had an awesome vacation.

Beautiful family getaway
Our extended family had a wonderful week enjoying beautiful Round Lake. The water is super clean and we spent the week swimming, tubing, kayaking, and even a bit of sailing. Lacey and Will are incredibly hospitable and very helpful. We can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Lacey

Host profile image
We are a blended family who snowbirds between Wisconsin and Georgia - even though we still work! Will grew up in this home until his parents moved to Alaska but has returned here every summer of his life. Our kids learned to sail, windsurf, water-ski and just have fun and come back often to visit.

Why they chose this property

We've been on this lake for over 40 years and the family owns two adjoining properties. As the kids have gone off to college and Grandma doesn't come up a often we are quite content in the place next door, making this cottage available to you.

What makes this property unique

Round lake is one of the absolute cleanest lakes in Wisconsin - and it your view across the lake is of woods - not other homes. You will not find this anywhere else in the state.
