Our group of 9 people thoroughly enjoyed out stay at Sandalwood Retreat. The level of detail in furnishings, entertainment options, cleanliness, and kitchen supplies was above what we've experienced with other VRBOs and greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Paradise in the Northern Woods

Our family has been coming up to the northern woods for the past 35 years. We enjoy renting houses on different lakes. SandalWood and Round Lake are by far the best! We would love to stay there again!

Beautiful property

We used to own a home in this area, and our grown children wanted to revisit the area with their families. This property was perfect for the 10 of us. The property provided all the necessary features to provide fun on a rainy day, along with the outdoor activities later in the week. We would definitely recommend this property and will look forward to returning in the future.

Great spacious cabin

Really enjoyed the cabin. Lots of space on the main level and in the basement. The Rooms above the garage were a nice getaway for some people. One of the nicest places I've stayed and my friends want to come back again after such an enjoyable time!

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

Absolute perfection!

Our stay at this beautiful home was absolute perfection! The house accommodated our large group perfectly! Private areas with attached bathrooms, and bedrooms throughout the home created a retreat, when needed! The communal gathering areas were comfortable spacious and had all the amenities we could have asked for! We look forward to returning hopefully soon!

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!

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.

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.

Great Spacious Getaway

Very please with the communication and the upkeep and cleanliness of the property. The space above the garage was a wonderful haven for the teenagers and the common areas had ample space for gathering. The screen porch was excellent for morning coffee and the fire pit space was great for sunsets and s’mores. We will definitely be back!

Round Lake Beauty

We rented this property to stay after my Dad's Celebration of Life. It was the perfect location and home to enjoy time with Family and Friends. It was well stocked and so easy to enjoy time with many people. We didn't have great weather which made the huge screened in porch a life saver. This home is so well appointed and the owners are very responsive. Would rent again if heading back to the area. Loved It!

3rd year back at this amazing home!

We love this house! Works perfect for our family of 18. Plenty of space. Space over the garage works perfect for Grandma and Grandpa to have their own space. The lake is one of our favorites ever. We spend all day at one of the sand bars. Depth at the end of the pier is perfect to jump off of. Plenty of fridge space with the basement fridge and bar cooler. Screened in porch is the highlight of the house. Comfy beds. Bonus, TJ is awesome and easy to work with!

Family week at the lake

This property is first class all the way, the hosts thought of everything and is very well supplied. It even included a multi-game video machine that the kids absolutely loved. Temperature control and internet was very good and rooms beds and showers were all very nice. Kitchen was well equipped. The property is located on certainly one of the nicest lakes in Wisconsin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking for a week next year when we can rebook. Thank you
