Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin
Welcome to Chicory Cottage - an exceptional family escape in the heart of Door County!
Our newly remodeled luxury vacation home is located in the Kangaroo Lake neighborhood, one of the most sought-after and desirable areas of Door County. Nestled among the trees and just a short walk to Kangaroo Lake public access, Chicory Cottage is the perfect Door County escape. We created Chicory Cottage for the discerning traveler who desires to be minutes from all of the attractions Door County has to offer, but also longs to escape to a private, relaxing retreat.
Door County is a world-class vacation destination, and we truly believe that Chicory Cottage has every ingredient necessary to make lasting, generational vacation memories. Relax together with a few glasses of wine as you listen to some vinyl records. Have breakfast or read a good book on our screened-in porch. Enjoy some friendly competition in our game room, or walk to Kangaroo lake and explore on the provided paddle boards. Chat and reminisce next to our fire table, or spend precious family evenings cozying up to a roaring bonfire. With all three bedrooms on one level, an indoor gas fireplace, a private outdoor entertaining space, and a game room complete with children's toys, bumper pool and shuffleboard, Chicory Cottage is the perfect place to make memories for all ages and seasons.
A word about our cleaning protocols….We have a larger family, and we stay in multiple vacation rentals a year. We know, firsthand, how the cleanliness of a rental can make or break your hard-earned vacation. Unlike most vacation rentals, at Chicory Cottage we wash/change-out all duvet covers, extra blankets, living room throw blankets, and living room throw pillow covers between every guest, in addition to all the typical bed sheets and pillowcases. We take cleaning very seriously and our process is extremely extensive because we know that your relaxation and enjoyment depends on it.
Years ago, on our first trip to Kangaroo Lake, someone shared their home with us. This began our goal of creating a memorable vacation home to share the magic of Door County and the Kangaroo Lake area with others. Our home is owner-managed and cared for because we believe that you deserve the highest level of guest experience, cleanliness, and peace-of-mind during your vacation. We genuinely look forward to hosting you and sharing our little slice of Door County!

This cottage in the woods was so comfortable and cozy. We stayed for a winter get away which happened over 2 big snow storms including a blizzard. The home was very warm and air tight. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. Jennifer was very responsive and accommodating. They made our stay very pleasant. Because of the storms we didn’t get to use the fire pit, deck or screen porch, but we still really enjoyed the stay. It’s also a great location. There was a cozy little tavern restaurant (Coyote Roadhouse) within walking distance that we enjoyed. Highly recommended.
Perfect! Chicory cottage was exactly what we were hoping for and exceeded our expectations. It is by far the cleanest and best stocked VRBO home we have ever stayed at. The game room was a bonus. Jennifer was attentive and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the quietness and views of the surrounding timber. Bailey’s Harbor has so much to do and experience. We hope to be back soon!
This property was amazing! It was possibly the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. The home is beautiful with all of the amenities you could possibly want. The property is spacious and lovely with great outdoor living areas. The bonus game room and record player add an additional element of fun for all ages. The hosts were phenomenal with communication and truly want their guests to have the best experience. Their attention to detail was unparalleled! We would absolutely recommend staying at Chicory House! The only thing we don’t like about it is that we cannot bring our pup, but we understand why pets are not allowed. We will be back!!
Absolutely top notch. Great customer attentive details and spectacular centralized location to explore all the beautiful Door County peninsula has to offer. By far the best location we have found after many years returning to area.
Beautifully decorated home. Had a great time in Door County. Will be back next year for more fun :)
Beautiful, clean, perfect place to stay near Baileys Harbor. Perfect for family or friends trip!
My husband and I took a long weekend away to relax. Chicory Cottage was just what the Dr ordered. It was beautiful, cozy and immaculate. It was even better than the pictures! I wish we had the time to stay longer. This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. I give it 6 stars!!!!
Our stay at this home was wonderful. Door county has much to offer and this is a great home base. The house is fully stocked with everything needed. Highly recommend.
We can't wait to return to Jennifer and Brian's Bailey's Harbor home. We had never stayed in BH before and really enjoyed the location - very easy to get everywhere in DC without being stuck on slow traffic, 2 lane roads. The house was fantastic! Probably the best VRBO I've ever stayed at. Impeccably clean and had absolutely everything we needed. Such a comfortable place to spend time. The garage was very well utilized by us - our kids loved all the games and even spent some time in the little kids' corner. The grown ups played out there after the kids went to bed. The s'mores kit was such a nice welcome gift, we used it on both fireplaces! The yard games outside were super fun, and we spotted some deer in the woods out back. When we had a minor issue, Brian was over within hours to fix it. I really have no opportunities for improvement here. Pure perfection!
Honestly the property was even better in person than online! It was absolutely perfect, clean, well thought out and many amenities on property to have fun with your group! Will definitely stay again
Perfect location and everything you want and need plus more!! We have stayed in other vacation homes in Door County but this one has been our favorite. They have thought of everything to make your stay 5 star! We can’t wait to stay here again. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.
This place was a little expensive for us since it was just me & my wife, but we made our plans last minute & were glad it was available, & it was amazing ! It would be fun & more affordable to come back with friends or family. very clean. comfortable. excellent, quick responses from the host. great location from which to explore all that Door County has to offer. We only stayed 2 nights and did not have time to explore the water options, of which there are many. plenty of great restaurants nearby. We can't wait to come back !
This property exceeded our expectations. From the well-appointed kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas, to the well stocked game room, yard games, and SUPs, so many things set this property apart. You name it, this property has it: screened in sunroom, fire pit, deck, room to enjoy the outdoors. The pictures do a great job of representing exactly what you will find when you arrive. We enjoyed comfort and convenience rolled into one - the house truly became an attraction in itself. The hosts’ personal touches were the frosting on top - including great recommendations for area attractions. We would not hesitate to come back again and again - and to highly recommend this property to anyone - truly a 5-star experience.
We had an amazing family vacation at the chicory cottage. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We loved mornings on the screened in porch, drinking coffee and listening to records play. We loved all the recommendations and notes left throughout the house. We have three school-age boys, and there was plenty for them to do around the house that did not involve screens. What a gift to be unplugged for a few days!
This house is awesome. Very new and nice. The owners think of all the small details. The location is great as well, close to Bailey's Harbor downtown and central to other towns such as Egg Harbor, Fish Creek and Sister bay. The game room was awesome, the fire pits are great, the beds are comfy. Owners are very good to communicate with.
Kangaroo Lake is a perfect home base on the quiet side of Door County, close to so much to see and do. And this place is everything you could want — cozy, clean and filled with little touches that make you feel welcome. Our trip was smooth and luxurious thanks to this gorgeous property and its management. Thank you for a wonderful long weekend in DC!
Our family had a wonderful stay. The kids loved the game room and nightly smores so much. Love was poured into this home and it shows in all the details. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor spaces and can't wait to come back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in Door County at Chicory Cottage. The property was meticulously clean and newly remodeled. Our kids loved the game room, which has toys and games for kids of all ages. Love the outdoor games and fire pit as well! Everything from kitchen supplies to towels was well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!
