One-of-a-kind-hideaway!

It's not very often you can say you rented a private island all to yourselves for a weekend, but with this place it's the real deal. We had a great weekend and the variety of accommodations, particularly the pontoon boat, made it head and shoulders above other places we looked at. Definitely would recommend!

Family getaway at Round Island

The property is amazing. The house is beautiful and well kept. We had the use of two pontoons and lived just riding around the lake. Thank you so much for such a great experience. We hope to come back next year!

Wonderful Second Visit to Round Island

This was our second trip to Round Island for our extended family vacation. We had a wonderful week together and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, peaceful location. The home is spacious, welcoming, and well-stocked with thoughtful amenities.

Great house for families

We had a wonderful time on round island. The house is even nicer in person. The set up was perfect for our family with four bedrooms each with their own bathroom. It was absolutely spotless. Everyone loved it and we are planning on returning.

Family Time

We had a great time hanging out with our adult children! Fish weren’t biting but that’s ok, hanging out on the boat was fun! Next time we would bring our own wood for the fire pit. They had a propane pit, that they encouraged us to use instead. It didn’t throw off enough heat for our evenings. We did end up using the wood fire pit. The cabin was cozy and didn’t lack anything! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

In 2008, we celebrated our wedding at this very location. Today, we invite you to create your own memories on this private island. We are residents of Highlands Ranch, CO and enjoy our vacations to Sylvan Lake. It's a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location for it's unique location, spectacular views and the proximity to family that also live on the lake.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is located on a private island in the middle of Sylvan Lake. We enjoy a number of water activities including skiing and fishing. We also enjoy sitting by the fire pit in the evenings making s'mores and great conversations. We have a number of outdoor games we play including 'Corn Hole,' which provides hours of fun for the family.
