Everything was great! The only issue we had was that the WIFI never worked. The log in information never worked. We were in touch, but since our stay was so short, it never got resolved.

Was a fantastic week of relaxing on Kangaroo lake and Door County! Was great to have the lake and kayaks, a canoe and row boat at our back door. Management company was incredibly quick with responses to a couple questions we had. Would definitely stay again!

My wife and I escaped the chaos for a few days of peace and quiet and this place was perfect for that. It was a beautiful setting, and we look forward to returning in the summer.

The location of the property is great, but the cabin itself is not well maintained or equipped for the price. The kitchen appliances are very old the microwave doesn't really work; pots and pans are
