3 Bedrooms • 2 Baths • Sleeps 1-6
Internet Fireplace Lakefront (more...)

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

Our newly remodeled Kangaroo lakefront vacation home is located on a private road, just adjacent to the historic Kangaroo Lake causeway. Surrounded by calming waters and gorgeous lake views, Chicory Lake House is the perfect Door County retreat. Watch the Mergansers swim directly off the lakeside deck and patio, fish from the pier, or explore the lake on the provided kayaks and paddle boards. Wake up to direct views of the lake and spend evenings cozying up to a roaring lakeside bonfire. With all three bedrooms on one level, a gas fireplace, a large yard for outdoor games, 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.

Nestled among the reeds and mature trees on Kangaroo Lake's shoreline, Chicory Lake House feels like a true escape, yet it is just minutes from everything that Door County has to offer. 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. We truly believe that Kangaroo Lake has every ingredient necessary to make lasting, generational vacation memories.

A word about our cleaning protocols….We have a larger family that stays in multiple vacation rentals a year. We know, firsthand, how the cleanliness of a rental can make or break your vacation. Unlike most vacation rentals, we wash/change-out all duvet covers, extra blankets, living room throw blankets, and living room throw pillow covers between every guest, in addition to all the typical bed sheets and pillowcases. Our cleaning process is extremely extensive because we know that your relaxation and enjoyment depends on it.


★★★Please read our entire listing including our house rules and information regarding our home's location. Our standard check-in time is 4PM and our standard check-out time is 10am. We require a signed rental agreement, waiver of liability, and a $300 credit card security deposit hold for all bookings. The name used to book the reservation must match that on the credit card and the signed rental agreement. The rental agreement and security deposit hold must be completed within 72 hours of booking (within 24 hours if arrival date is less than 3 days from time of booking.) or the reservation will be canceled. Our home is in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. We cannot accommodate bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions or other rowdy gatherings. Our home is located directly adjacent to the historic Kangaroo Lake Causeway and across from a local favorite restaurant, Coyote Roadhouse. Like many 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 close proximity to both the causeway and this local restaurant for dining and recreating on the lake. Guests planning to bring a boat must inform us at the time of booking. No jet skis allowed. All Wisconsin boating regulations must be followed while recreating on Kangaroo Lake. Furniture may change when compared to the photos as we consistently attempt to maintain the comfort, quality, and cleanliness of our home's furnishings.★★★
