Door County Kangaroo Lake Cottage: Family Fun, Kayaks, Game Room & Firepit

Welcome to Chicory Lake House - a waterfront family escape in the heart of Door County!

Our fully remodeled Kangaroo Lakefront vacation home is adjacent to the historic Kangaroo Lake causeway. Nestled among the reeds and mature trees on Kangaroo Lake's shoreline and surrounded by gorgeous, direct lakefront views, Chicory Lake House is the perfect Door County retreat. Relax on our lakeside deck and patio while watching Mergansers swim near our shore. Toss in a line to fish from the pier, or explore the lake using the provided kayaks and paddleboards. Walk across the road to enjoy a local favorite - Coyote Roadhouse, or take the short drive to all the towns that make Door County a world-class vacation destination. With all three bedrooms on one level, a gas fireplace, a large yard for outdoor games, a lakeside fire pit, and a game room complete with bumper pool and shuffleboard, Chicory Lake House is the perfect place to make memories for all ages and seasons.
