Door County Kangaroo Lake Cottage: Kayaks, Game Room, Fishing, 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.

Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you have a terrific Door County getaway.

Our home is located directly adjacent to the historic Kangaroo Lake Causeway and across from a local favorite restaurant, Coyote Roadhouse. Like most locations on our narrow peninsula, guests should expect some road noise. The sounds of outdoor dining may also be heard when staying at our home. Many of our guests enjoy our proximity to both the causeway and this local restaurant for dining and recreating on the lake. Guests planning to bring a boat must obtain permission before booking. No jet skis allowed.

Kangaroo Lake is a beautiful gem in Baileys Harbor, Door County. At Chicory Lake House, you'll have a front-row seat to the gorgeous waters of Kangaroo Lake during the day, and the dark, star-filled skies at night.

Our property has room to play yard games, sit by a lakeside bonfire, or challenge each other to friendly competition in our game room. We believe Chicory Lake House has that special Door County charm that enables you to create memories for generations.
What makes this property unique
