We love it here

This was our third stay at Roo Retreat for a relaxing winter long weekend. We love the proximity to Coyote Roadhouse and the short distance to the public lake access for ice skating or just walks on the ice. The house has plenty of space for us and our two teenagers to have our own space. We love making meals in the adorable kitchen, playing games in the dining room, and watching movies in the living room with a fire in the fireplace. We will be back.

Average stay in Bailey’s Harbor

Good location by Kangaroo Lake. We were disappointed that 2 of 3 bedrooms were smaller than expected. The laundry area and floors were dirty. No hooks in smaller bathroom to hang clothes and towels on. Nice yard. Glad there were toys for our toddler.

Quiet Side Of Door County

We chose Roo Retreat because it is on the lake side of the peninsula, the quiet side. It has the added attraction of being across the road from Kangaroo Lake, although the access to the lake is very limited. No worries, the beaches of Bailey's Harbor, Egg Harbor and Fish Creek are only a ten minute drive away on the more active Bay Side of the peninsula. The house is comfortable and well supplied with all things necessary. The beds are cozy, baths are fine (both have heated floors), and the kitchen well stocked.The WiFi is "iffy" at times, but the area is rural. We enjoyed our stay and believe you will also.

Excellent property

We had a great time staying here. The cabin is cozy and inviting, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans/utensils, and the accommodations are great. The bathrooms have heated floors which were delightful to walk on. The owners also have a generous supply of fire wood for their guests to use, completing the atmosphere of a cozy cottage retreat.

Visit to Roo Retreat

A quick few quick days in Door County with friends…looked for something centrally located but quiet. Roo Retreat is the place! Clean, quiet, easy access to both shores, wineries, Peninsula Players, restaurants, everything we wanted to do. Perfect size for two couples, big table for games and visiting. Wish we could have made more use of the screen porch and fire ring, we were just busy with other stuff. Next time for sure!

Dark and dreary

I’m disappointed that the online photos of the house appear to have been embellished. It looks light and bright, but was dark and shadowy even with every light in the house turned on. It was also not near the lively, more happening areas in Door County. I suggest renting in Sister Bay if you want to be near the nicer restaurants and shopping. Loved the ferry and Washington island. for us this rental was a bust.

Fantastic stay!!

The house was fantastic and had everything we needed. It was a really easy walk over to swim in kangaroo lake. The house was spotlessly clean. We were happy to find toys and books for my niece who is 2 1/2. The master shower is a special treat, you don’t often see that many showerheads in one shower!! Appreciated, the stocked kitchen for cooking, and the big table for family meals. The bedrooms were all comfortable, clean and had ceiling fans. Awesome Nest system central AC to keep us cool and comfortable. The yard and fire pit are really nice. Great space to spend time outside with a little one. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Great stay!

We loved our stay here! Was a perfect size for our family of four adults and two teens. One of the best rentals we have had. The place was very clean. The layout of the house was great with the master bedroom separate from the other two rooms with the open concept area separating them. One thing to note (which did not bother us at all since we went in June and did not swim, but wanted to set expectations) is the beach that is walkable is more like when the water dead ends at the cul de sac. It looked shallow and clean but just not what you think when you think "beach". I would not hesitant to rent here again!
