Very nice central location. Great screened in porch area, primary bathroom and space between neighbors. Lock box was a bit challenging to reinsert. The check-out process request to remove all sheets and place them in the laundry room before departure was a service we have previously received at other VRBO rentals. Overall great experience.

We had a great stay at Roo Retreat. A few things to consider- there wasn’t enough hot water for all 4 of us to shower. We went kayaking, came home to shower off the lake water and there was only enough hot water for 2 ppl. Also- lake access isn’t great. It might be 300 yards to the water, as the crow flies, but in reality, you walk down the street, take a left to head to the water. It seems like an old boat launch, not a beach. To get to the actual boat launch, you have to drive out and around Kangaroo lake. All in all- it was great, we were disappointed because we thought we’d be able to easily access Kangaroo lake for kayaking, swimming and beach days and that didn’t pan out. The location and amenities were great. We loved the quiet peaceful setting. Being close to Bailey’s Harbor and on the quieter side of the Peninsula was great.

Average stay in Bailey’s Harbor

Good location by Kangaroo Lake. We were disappointed that 2 of 3 bedrooms were smaller than expected. The laundry area and floors were dirty. No hooks in smaller bathroom to hang clothes and towels on. Nice yard. Glad there were toys for our toddler.

Fantastic stay!!

The house was fantastic and had everything we needed. It was a really easy walk over to swim in kangaroo lake. The house was spotlessly clean. We were happy to find toys and books for my niece who is 2 1/2. The master shower is a special treat, you don’t often see that many showerheads in one shower!! Appreciated, the stocked kitchen for cooking, and the big table for family meals. The bedrooms were all comfortable, clean and had ceiling fans. Awesome Nest system central AC to keep us cool and comfortable. The yard and fire pit are really nice. Great space to spend time outside with a little one. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful retreat in the woods

The cabin is a lovely property and matches the description and pictures perfectly. We unfortunately had rainy weather during our visit, but found the cabin a cozy place to tuck in despite the inclement weather. The decor is tastefully done, and the main room is comfortable for several people. We found the location to be easily accessible to either side of the penninsula. I will say that the linens are mismatched and over-washed. Our real problem was getting a code to get in. I emailed several times asking for it, continuing through our trip there. I got replies, but no code. I had to call late at night and neither code given over the phone worked, so we had to search for hidden keys on a dark rainy night, only finding finally the second key. I have never had this experience before. The person on the phone was very nice however.

Great space! The house had everything we could think of - toys/books for little ones, games for adults, pack n play, and even a star astronaut display in kids room. The 3-season room was perfect in the morning and evenings - listening to birds was so peaceful. Would highly recommend.

Roo

We enjoyed our brief stay here! The kitchen, living room, screened porch, fire ring (which we didn't have time to use), and master bedroom were all well-appointed. The second queen bedroom was very small, but that it is by no means a deal-breaker. We all agreed that we would return on our next family outing to Door County.

We love it here

This was our third stay at Roo Retreat for a relaxing winter long weekend. We love the proximity to Coyote Roadhouse and the short distance to the public lake access for ice skating or just walks on the ice. The house has plenty of space for us and our two teenagers to have our own space. We love making meals in the adorable kitchen, playing games in the dining room, and watching movies in the living room with a fire in the fireplace. We will be back.

Quiet Side Of Door County

We chose Roo Retreat because it is on the lake side of the peninsula, the quiet side. It has the added attraction of being across the road from Kangaroo Lake, although the access to the lake is very limited. No worries, the beaches of Bailey's Harbor, Egg Harbor and Fish Creek are only a ten minute drive away on the more active Bay Side of the peninsula. The house is comfortable and well supplied with all things necessary. The beds are cozy, baths are fine (both have heated floors), and the kitchen well stocked.The WiFi is "iffy" at times, but the area is rural. We enjoyed our stay and believe you will also.

Excellent property

We had a great time staying here. The cabin is cozy and inviting, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans/utensils, and the accommodations are great. The bathrooms have heated floors which were delightful to walk on. The owners also have a generous supply of fire wood for their guests to use, completing the atmosphere of a cozy cottage retreat.

Visit to Roo Retreat

A quick few quick days in Door County with friends…looked for something centrally located but quiet. Roo Retreat is the place! Clean, quiet, easy access to both shores, wineries, Peninsula Players, restaurants, everything we wanted to do. Perfect size for two couples, big table for games and visiting. Wish we could have made more use of the screen porch and fire ring, we were just busy with other stuff. Next time for sure!
