About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Come enjoy our 1,500 sq. ft. lake house on Kangaroo Lake. This home maintains its original 1940's cottage charm with the classic Door County stone fireplace(non functioning), cedar walls, and wood floors. The house comfortably accommodates 8-12 guests with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The dining room has a lakeside view and seating for 12. There is plenty of space for outdoor dining, lawn games, and relaxing. *Satellite TV and WiFi provided*.
The first floor master bedroom has a queen size bed, its own private bathroom and a patio facing the lake. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms and another full bathroom. The first bedroom has 2 twin beds, the second bedroom has a full bed, and the large third bedroom which faces the lake has a queen size bed and full futon. There is also a queen size sofa bed in the living room and a half bathroom on the first floor. The fireplace is beautiful but not functioning.
Kangaroo Lake is an 1,156 acre, spring-fed lake with a maximum depth of 12 feet. Catch fish from the dock, causeway or one of the boats provided (canoe, kayak, paddle board, and fishing boat). The lake's sandy bottom is ideal for wading and playing in the water. The water temperature is nice and warm around 15 degrees warmer than Lake Michigan.
*The dock will be put in around May 20th and will be taken out around October 15th each year. If you choose to stay prior to May 20th the dock and fishing boat will not be available. The canoe, kayak, and paddleboard will still be available to use.*
The lake house is just minutes away from a golf course, restaurants, breweries, wineries, shops, and entertainment. There is much to do in Door County, but you may be content to spend the day at the lake house, playing in the water, boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, or just relaxing. At the end of the day enjoy watching the sun set over the lake or sitting by the campfire.
This place is great for families with small children as we do provide pack'n play, stroller, and booster seat for your convenience.
The lake house books quickly. Contact us today to reserve your lakeside vacation.

Everything was great. The location was perfect right on the water, we loved the access to the kayaks and paddle boards, and also spent some great time around the firepit.
We are very pleased with the location, we were able to go out to restaurants within 10 to 15 minutes of the place and including one just a half a mile from it. It’s very relaxing, quiet, we had a great time.
This is a great property in a great location. The owners are very responsive with communication. This group of 7 adults was very satisfied with everything.
Our 6 family members thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful home. The location was fantastic, close to things to do, yet quiet and serene when we wanted to rest and recharge. Although it is Fall, we took advantage of the canoe and had fun taking turns around the lake.
The property was extremely clean and well-equipped with anything you’d really need for cooking and lakeside activities. Also, I haven’t slept this well in probably years. Thank you, Thank you! :) we hope to make it back again.
We are 3 retired couples wanting to explore Washington & Rock Islands, Bailey’s Harbor, Sister Bay, Ephraim & Fish Creek. All were within a short distance from the cabin. There were many dining options and wineries nearby. Cabin was clean & as described. The stairway to 3 bedrooms upstairs is steeper & narrow & may be difficult for some guests. The fans upstairs were a Blessing during the rainy nights when windows could not be open. The garage was nice to store our bikes. We enjoyed our stay.
Our family of nine very much enjoyed the stay, our second year in a row here. The lake is clear and beautiful! Some people fished from the rowboat, while others used stand up paddle boards and still others kayaked. It's close to good hiking, and the bicycling was excellent -- nicest roads I've encountered anywhere with very little traffic. The kitchen is over-stocked with small to medium cookware, so we usually bring a large stockpot, a couple of loaf pans, and a large bowl for salads, etc. Other than that, it has everything we needed. Hosts are responsive to text/email.
lots of fun on the water. we really enjoyed the paddle boards and kayak. so easy to not have to cart all our stuff up there, it made the vacation so much more relaxing.
Very peaceful and quiet lakeside cottage. We specifically enjoyed the kayak, paddle boards, fishing from the dock, and fires in the outdoor fire-pit. The location near Bailey’s Harbor was great and it’s only about 15 min to the other side of the peninsula and other towns. Check in and out was easy. The only minor drawback is cellphone and internet was slow due to the location so if you need connectivity then that could be a concern. We would definitely return again to this property.
We vacationed on Kangaroo Lake every summer for 20 years at another place— East Shorewood Cottages. We loved it, but it was summer only and the cottages are small. It was wonderful to revive memories of a beloved lake in this wonderful house, large enough for our adult children and partners. We had some WiFi issues, but Ryan was super responsive. Highly recommend.

Kangaroo Lake rental
Nice property with nice amenities. This was our first time on Kangaroo however my wife was there as a little girl.
Having TV and internet was a plus. However the only issue was water skiing with a 4 hp motor...
A truly memorable experience!
A little mix up with the cleaning schedule when we got there, but the owners responded immediately and got the cleaners out there. The rest of the weekend was perfect. Cute cottage that was extremely well appointed. I don't think there was one thing that we needed, that the house did not provide. Would definitely recommend this property.
This was better even than we anticipated. We made good use of the kayak and stand up paddleboards included. The lawn was big enough to accommodate our badminton set. The table/dining area easily accommodated our family of nine. Two of our kids spent a lot of time fishing from the adjacent causeway. We also enjoyed reading beneath the shady tree and watching the lake. It's close to several good places to hike, too. We will strongly consider returning! Maureen answered questions promptly.
The property is amazing, and very well maintained. The only thing I would change is that towels be included. I hadn’t read the description closely enough and we had to make an emergency shopping trip to get towels. I can’t really understand why this wouldn’t be included in the amenities. I personally wouldn’t want to pack towels for a large family. This, to me, is a basic amenity. Other than that it was a perfect stay!!
Spacious traditional wooden cabin with a nice quiet setting on Kangaroo Lake. Adequate amenities (including for cooking meals) for a family and for a week of vacation. Well located adjacent to a somewhat busy road, but close to the center of Baileys Harbor. Upon arrival, we noted that the home was not fully cleaned, which we notified the owners. Additionally, the small motor boat was missing its propeller (unknown before arrival) and the part was on order (discovered after consulting the owners). The garage door was left open due to accidental cutting of the electrical wires, which we found out after we notified the owners as well. The house is listed as having air conditioning, but technically there is only one window unit in the upstairs bedroom with two beds. Due to the unusually cooler climate during our week; this wasn’t a problem. However, I could see the house being fairly hot during primetime summer. The family used the canoe and kayaks when able (pretty windy during our stay). We enjoyed the option for fishing on the dock (we brought our own equipment), grilling outside, as well as the nearby campfire. Overall, we had a good week.
We had a wonderful stay! Two families - 4 adults, 3 teens and 2 seven year olds. It was a comfortable amount of space for 9 people. We were super impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked, and with the variety of equipment for outdoor activities. The paddle boards were a huge hit! We also utilized the board games & toys every day. We had milder temps in the 70s all week, so the upstairs AC window unit in one bedroom cooled the upstairs very quickly at night. We were two separate family units and closed the bedroom doors while sleeping. It would likely get very warm in the other 2 bedrooms on super hot days/nights unless app bedroom doors were kept open. The cabin was fairly clean. We found some places that had not been cleaned well before we arrived. The long dining table with ample seating was also awesome to have for meals and playing games. Overall, we recommend the Lakeside Cabin for your family vacation!
Wonderful location in Door County and quiet being away from the "hustle" of the small towns, while still being close and easy access to everything! Clean and well-stocked house, with lots of amenities. Would definitely stay here again!
This a great lakefront property and really nice home. If the weather had been a little better, the outdoor area would’ve been fantastic to enjoy. Beautiful views of the lake. Having little ones, I really appreciated that this home had a lot of items for kids too. Property owners were very responsive, accommodating and easy to work with. would definitely recommend staying here and would love to stay here again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. We had four kids under five and the property had space for kids to play and to explore nature. Property is conveniently located to all the fun Door County has to offer.
