Leaking ceiling, mold, smelly, dirty, broken screens and locks - this place is awful. The host, the Simple Life, did not address any of our issues despite numerous attempts to contact them. The only positive about this property is the lake view. This place gives Door county a bad name.

Perfect Serene Log Cabin
We absolutely loved our stay on Kangaroo Lake! The property was exactly as pictured and very clean! The outdoor area was a perfect place for the kids to play. We had to work for part of our trip and spent that time working from the screened in patio - perfect place with a beautiful view! We found the location the perfect, centrally located home base to easily visit each little town (Egg Harbor and Sister Bay were our favorites). Thank you! We will definitely be back!

Family fun in a cabin on a lake! What more could you want?!!
The house is roomy and allows our family of six to spread out but also has several areas big enough for all to gather. Morning coffee chats in the screened in gazebo, Yahtzee at the kitchen table, and dinner at the screened porch table are some of my favorite times there. Since the master bedroom is on the first floor, the kids take over the second floor with a large room with 3 beds, a smaller bedroom and a sleeping porch with an inflatable mattress, The Andersens are responsive should something come up but rarely does. They provide a grill, row boat and kayaks for the lake and tons of recommendations for stores and restaurants. The backyard and pier give you access to the lake and a large open area to play games. (We bring bocce and kuub). We love the firepit too! It provides all you need for a fun time. Overall an ideal vacation home!

My family and I really enjoyed this quaint Log Cabin. We were celebrating a birthday and had a surprise waiting for us when we arrived.

Beautiful Location, Solid Cabin
The location of the Log Cabin is perfect for Door County. Kangaroo Lake is centrally located, which makes getting to places easy and efficient from this property. Host was very communicative and clear. The Cabin itself has lots of seating areas for guests, including many screened-in porches and patios. (That said, many screens are in major need of repair--this is one area, perhaps minor, that could be improved). The kitchen is tiny, but multiple dining areas, two grills, etc., are major bonuses. The property (land) and shoreline itself are ample and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to other Door County vacationers.

Rustic comfort
We love the quiet and calm of being on the lake. The cabin was far enough from hussle and bustle to be relaxing, yet close enough to get to places you want to go in a short drive! Beds were comfy, LOVED the screened back portion of the house. It really let the outdoor living flow easily into the house, plenty of room. Some of the kitchenware might need to be switched out or sharped. But had no problem finded something that would work to do the job. It is not a new posh cabin so if you are wanting this is not your spot. We enjoyed the cabin and it's comfortable atmosphere. It was plenty of room even tho the kitchen being smaller, for 5 adults and 1 medium dog. The dog really enjoy the screen porches too, cool breezes without the bugs! We did not have time to enjoy the boats but did enjoying sitting on the waterfront while the dog took a swim. There is a nice firepit there. We will definitely look for available booking next time we come to the area we had a wonderful time, it was over too quickly!

Amazing property
My hubby and I, our son, daughter, her college roommate, and my neice all came up for Fall Festival, which is our annual family reunion. Our dogs also joined us for the weekend. We had a ton of space for everyone, and it was perfect for a weekend away. The weather was cold, but we still enjoyed the screened in porches on Friday night for game night. We would LOVE to rent this place out again in summer and take advantage of the pier and the lake. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Baileys Harbor Log Home
The Log House has beautiful outdoor spaces. The screened gazebo and 2nd story screened porch were favorite places to relax. The kayak, canoe and 2 row boats were in good condition and easy to access. There is a fire pit, corn hole set and plenty of inflatables provided. My son caught several nice fish ( small mouth bass) from the row boats. The cabin was comfortable. Kitchen was small but well stocked with the necessities for making meals. Minor complaint with the water pressure in the upstairs shower. Baileys Harbor is conveniently located in the center of the Door peninsula, making accessing our favorite shops and restaurants all within a 10-15 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay.

Great family place in Door County
This is our second stay in the Log House, and we enjoyed it very much both times. The house is fairly rustic, but has a great layout for summer vacation. There is a master bedroom "wing" that offers privacy, and 2 upstairs bedrooms, one with 3 beds for lots of kids! The kitchen is small but functional, and the dining table on the screen porch is great. The attached screened gazebo is great as a game and reading room. There were 2 rowboats, a canoe and a kayak supplied, so it's easy to access the lake. The bottom near the dock is mucky, but the nearby sandbar is great for kids to play in the water.

Perfect functional lakeside family place!
We loved our week-long stay with 4 adults and 2 tweens and new puppy. They loved playing in the water, the sandbar out a ways is just awesome! And the canoe and kayak were enjoyed by all. For years, we'd been staying at a small rustic cabin, which was sorta like camping with a roof and plumbing. This place is a huge step up in functionality and space, without pouring over into 'luxury,' which is exactly what we were looking for. There are large enough gathering areas to be all together, and also enough space for people to break off and be alone for awhile to read or relax or whatever. The gazebo was critical on the hot days and a lovely place to hang out on the cooler days. Same for the 2-story porch! Kangaroo lake is such a calm place, and having it footsteps away from your door with no stairs up or down is also a huge plus for anyone with aging joints. Plenty of space for family meals. The fridge and freezer easily held our week's worth of food, and it's already well-stocked with the utensils, plates, and cookware that you might need. Also, the dishwasher is awesome for dealing with the constant dirty dishes - we used to eat out a lot when visiting, but with our new dog, we ate almost all of our meals here, and it felt like 'home,' by the end of the week. The wind kept the mosquitos at bay most of the time, which was impressive, and the sunrise views across the lake are epic. We enjoyed a fire each night, either inside with the fireplace, or out at the lakeside firepit. We'll be back!

Fall Getaway in a Quaint Cabin!
The Log Cabin at Kangaroo Lake was the perfect place for a quick trip for me and my friends. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a throwback to simpler times! Older appliances and fixtures but this just adds to its character! We came at the end of the season and it got a little chilly but the place heated up just fine! Perfect for any season. Plenty of sleeping space for a large group. Even had space for our two large dogs! Large backyard with fire pit as well as a dock for kayaking! Only a short drive to most of the towns and local attractions. Communication with the owners was excellent. They’re on top of things. Would definitely return and highly recommend.
