8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The cabin was charming and the lake view and easy access to the water were breathtaking and made a wonderful first impression. Unfortunately, we soon ran into issues that appeared to be related to the cabin's cleanliness and maintenance. The biggest problem was the number of black hornets accessing the cabin through gaps in window screens. The windows need to remain open for airflow due to no AC, which made it impossible to keep the bees out. We ended up 20 bees inside during our stay. I also discovered that the vacuums were full of dirt from previous usages, so I emptied one out before using the extension to clean dead bugs and debris from around the open windows. Spending part of my vacation cleaning the cabin so our family could safely stay inside was frustrating, especially considering we paid a premium price that included a cleaning fee. We notified the property managers, and while they apologized and said they would look into the issues, they did not offer any reimbursement or meaningful resolution. Their response felt generic rather than acknowledging the inconvenience we experienced. After speaking with other guests staying nearby, we learned we weren't the only ones disappointed with the cleanliness. Others reported dealing with spiders, bugs, bees, and even toads inside their units. The location and views are outstanding, but the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and follow-up from management significantly impacted what should have been a relaxing vacation.

This cabin is one of our favorite places to stay. There were a few things that needed attention when we were there, but overall the property mgmt company was responsive. Would stay here again but hoping the king bed is upgraded soon as that bed is very soft/slanted.

This is a lovely cabin with the rustic charm and unique location in door county (kangaroo lake). You can get out on the water with kayak or paddle board, fish and swim easily. Perfect set of amenities for a cabin get away. Our 10yo and 12yo were excited about the fire pit smore's opportunity and catching critters (toads, minnows, crawfish). We did not catch fish, but we saw others succeed.
