Our friend group of 6 had a great stay at this property. Communication with the property manager was excellent, the property was spotless and exactly as pictured in the listing. We had a small issue with the heat not working upon arrival but the property manager responded quickly had the issue fixed within an hour. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor firepit area was the perfect spot to gather and relax with our friends. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and there were plenty of towels and blankets. Great location by the lake and only a 5 minute drive to Bailey’s Harbor. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice central location. Great screened in porch area, primary bathroom and space between neighbors. Lock box was a bit challenging to reinsert. The check-out process request to remove all sheets and place them in the laundry room before departure was a service we have previously received at other VRBO rentals. Overall great experience.

We had a great stay at Roo Retreat. A few things to consider- there wasn’t enough hot water for all 4 of us to shower. We went kayaking, came home to shower off the lake water and there was only enough hot water for 2 ppl. Also- lake access isn’t great. It might be 300 yards to the water, as the crow flies, but in reality, you walk down the street, take a left to head to the water. It seems like an old boat launch, not a beach. To get to the actual boat launch, you have to drive out and around Kangaroo lake. All in all- it was great, we were disappointed because we thought we’d be able to easily access Kangaroo lake for kayaking, swimming and beach days and that didn’t pan out. The location and amenities were great. We loved the quiet peaceful setting. Being close to Bailey’s Harbor and on the quieter side of the Peninsula was great.

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.
