Stayed at the chicory cottage for three nights in early November.
This house is literally the best rental I have ever stayed at. Super clean, which is top of my list, and well appointed and stocked. They thought of everything. There is a game room for adults and kiddos. Jennifer is so easy to work with and incredibly responsive. You will love your stay here!
What a fantastic property in Door County! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed to make for a great long weekend. The hosts thought of everything and made sure we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. We will definitely be back!!
This place is better than described in the listing! We were obsessed w how clean and adorable it was. It's about 6 min drive from Bailey's harbor which is nice!
This house is the nicest house we've stayed at in Door County! It was beautiful and had so many special touches! My kids loved spending time in the game room in the evenings and we enjoyed roasting marshmallows outside. We took the paddleboard down to Kangaroo Lake and had a great time in the water. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. And the location was great, we had easy access to our favorite places in Bailey's Harbor, Sister Bay and even up to Washington Island. Would love to stay here again!

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.

The chicory cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. The cottage was incredibly clean when we arrived and every room is nicely decorated. There are multiple sitting areas to relax and chat with good quality furniture. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were meticulously clean. This property has thought of everything in terms of amenities - there is a fire table, a fire pit, a huge game room space which our group really enjoyed! I cannot recommend this property enough, thank you to the hosts for such a lovely experience!

Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Our kids loved the game room and fire pit, and we loved all of the amenities (record player, games, beach towels, etc. The hosts were extremely responsive and thoughtful. We will definitely be back!
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.
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.

Ann, thank you so much and we are so glad you found Chicory Cottage to be the relaxing spot you were hoping for!
Chicory Cottage was the perfect location for a gathering of three friends! It is a beautifully decorated and appointed home in a lovely wooded (private and quiet) neighborhood. All expectations were exceeded: very well appointed kitchen; multiple shared, open living areas and a perfect screened porch. We would love to come back in the future and will share our experience with others. Thanks for creating this wonderful home!

We are thrilled that you and your friends were able to enjoy connecting at Chicory Cottage. We love the screen porch, too! Thank you, so much, for your review and please come back again!
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.
