Welcome to Log Cabin on Kangaroo Lake, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This rustic cabin includes all of the comforts of home and includes 100 feet of private waterfront for guests enjoyment.

Family fun in a cabin on a lake! What more could you want?!!
The house is roomy and allows our family of six to spread out but also has several areas big enough for all to gather. Morning coffee chats in the screened in gazebo, Yahtzee at the kitchen table, and dinner at the screened porch table are some of my favorite times there. Since the master bedroom is on the first floor, the kids take over the second floor with a large room with 3 beds, a smaller bedroom and a sleeping porch with an inflatable mattress, The Andersens are responsive should something come up but rarely does. They provide a grill, row boat and kayaks for the lake and tons of recommendations for stores and restaurants. The backyard and pier give you access to the lake and a large open area to play games. (We bring bocce and kuub). We love the firepit too! It provides all you need for a fun time. Overall an ideal vacation home!

Quick Get Away
My family and I really enjoyed this quaint Log Cabin. We were celebrating a birthday and had a surprise waiting for us when we arrived. The property is very secluded and private and the lake is crystal clear! The kitchen was cozy, functional and actually a place we enjoyed even though most of our time was spent outdoors!

Rustic lakeside retreat
Perfect spot for gathering and enjoying all that Kangeroo Lake has to offer. Morning coffee on the patio and evening campfires we’re among the highlights, as well as the ease of sailing, rowing and kayaking every day.

Beautiful Location, Solid Cabin
The location of the Log Cabin is perfect for Door County. Kangaroo Lake is centrally located, which makes getting to places easy and efficient from this property. Host was very communicative and clear. The Cabin itself has lots of seating areas for guests, including many screened-in porches and patios. (That said, many screens are in major need of repair--this is one area, perhaps minor, that could be improved). The kitchen is tiny, but multiple dining areas, two grills, etc., are major bonuses. The property (land) and shoreline itself are ample and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to other Door County vacationers.

Rustic comfort
We love the quiet and calm of being on the lake. The cabin was far enough from hussle and bustle to be relaxing, yet close enough to get to places you want to go in a short drive! Beds were comfy, LOVED the screened back portion of the house. It really let the outdoor living flow easily into the house, plenty of room. Some of the kitchenware might need to be switched out or sharped. But had no problem finded something that would work to do the job. It is not a new posh cabin so if you are wanting this is not your spot. We enjoyed the cabin and it's comfortable atmosphere. It was plenty of room even tho the kitchen being smaller, for 5 adults and 1 medium dog. The dog really enjoy the screen porches too, cool breezes without the bugs! We did not have time to enjoy the boats but did enjoying sitting on the waterfront while the dog took a swim. There is a nice firepit there. We will definitely look for available booking next time we come to the area we had a wonderful time, it was over too quickly!

Amazing property
My hubby and I, our son, daughter, her college roommate, and my neice all came up for Fall Festival, which is our annual family reunion. Our dogs also joined us for the weekend. We had a ton of space for everyone, and it was perfect for a weekend away. The weather was cold, but we still enjoyed the screened in porches on Friday night for game night. We would LOVE to rent this place out again in summer and take advantage of the pier and the lake. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
