Vacation Home on Kangaroo Lake in Door County

My family and a couple of friends stayed here over the 4th of July week and I have to say that we had an amazing week there. The trip was so great, we are considering asking about availability for next year, too. The house has a well manicured, large yard with a great setting right on Kangaroo Lake (which is an incredibly peaceful lake by the way). Lots of space to play ball with my son and the fire pit is in a really nice spot right down by the water. The house is well taken care of and spacious and the giant windows in the living room make for a great view throughout the day. So, on to the two quirks with the house. First, one of the people with us had specifically noted that she needed an internet connection because she was going to be working from the house for a couple of days of the stay. We confirmed that the house did indeed have internet before our stay. When we got there though, we found that the internet connection was so slow and that the router required so many reboots throughout the week to maintain a connection of any kind that it really is not worth advertising that it has internet. This really was not a deal breaker for us, as our smartphones all were able to be used as hotspots for the one person who needed internet to get a solid connection; that was quirk #1. Quirk #2 was the bathroom/shower in the master bedroom. Please note that the tub is installed in the floor and there is a handheld shower available, but climbing in and out of the tub can be a bit tricky and the tub really isn't conducive to taking a proper shower. It does work though. The main bathroom does have a shower though. Neither the internet situation or the shower/tub configuration was annoying enough to detract from the fact that this place is great and my family and friends had a truly great time staying here and we would absolutely consider staying there again in the future.

We wanted to take a moment and thank you for the wonderful time we had at your rental vacation home on Kangaroo Lake. What a picture perfect setting and your home made our vacation absolutely wonderful! Thank you for making it so easy with terrific directions, everything easy to find, and even all the brochures with nearby things to keep us busy! We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, hiking, golf, horseback riding, boating, and an amazing lobster boil! Thanks again for a wonderful week:)

My family stayed at this property for a week in June. The weather cooperated most days, but despite some rainy days the house more than made up for it in terms of comfort and activities for our family. There were 4 adults and two children ages 8 and 10. The dock and depth of the lake make it perfect for swimming. The water is shallow and clear so the kids were more than happy to jump in (and again we didn't have perfect weather for it). The property has a canoe that was easy to use to go paddling around the lake and for fishing. My son caught several good size bass and a crappie.

The house design is just right for anyone looking for space when you want to retire to your room or meet for time together in the great room. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked with anything you could possibly need during your stay.

The owners were easily reachable and extremely helpful whenever we called. The house has a notebook with clear instructions on how to use all of the amenities. You are a stone's throw from Bailey's Harbor and Lake Michigan, but also secluded enough on the property to feel like you are a world away. We loved the location of the property being a quick drive to any of the places we wanted to visit, such as The Farm, Fish Creek, and Egg Harbor.

As I said, we had a few rainy days, but we were totally entertained by the board games and toys in the house. It really is perfect for families. We had my father who is over 60, my brother who is in his thirties, and again my two boys who had a blast playing with all of the toys in the house. When they wanted downtime there is wifi for their electronics and satellite TV.

I would highly recommend this property to anyone for any kind of vacation...there are plenty of supplies for outdoor enthusiasts (bikes, canoe, paddle boats etc)...family vacations, girl's weekends...just a great property with a great layout and location. We couldn't be happier!
