About this property

Welcome to Starflower Cottage! Vintage charm meets modern amenities at Starflower Cottage on Kangaroo Lake. Knotty pine walls, cozy corners to curl up with a book, and a gas fireplace for chilly nights on the lake. 3 beds, 2 baths and many modern updates make for a comfortable stay. The lake is great for swimming and the cottage comes with kayaks, a SUP, and water access directly on the property. Grill and firepit for outdoor fun and Baileys Harbor is just 5 minutes away. Tons of restaurants, coffee shops, hiking, and wineries nearby. Relax and unwind at this beautiful retreat. Please note, the dock is in over the summer months, but installation and removal is weather dependent. Also, we have moved the TV to the primary bedroom as we don’t spend much time watching tv while we are there, but you are welcome to move it as you see fit!

Perfect place to relax

This place is great. Doesn’t even feel like you’re in Door County yet a short drive to most major towns. We fished, grilled, and had many fire pit fires. Great relaxing time!!

Great time on the lake

Excellent home, very well appointed (the owners have gone to great lengths to provide just about anything you need). Kayaks and paddle board are great to use on a pretty calm lake. Your about five minutes from Bailey's Harbor, while the rest of the towns are within easy reach. Restaurants are close, as are zip lines and various recreational tours. We will be back!! Brad K.

A True Delight

An absolutely delightful place to stay. So many spacious, comfortable places to hang out with gorgeous sunset views of the lake. The owners obviously put a lot of thought into making sure that everything you might need is on hand, and open so many niceties up to guests including tons of games and toys and floats and boats available for endless fun on the lake and in the house. So many interesting plants and trees in a beautifully cared-for garden and gorgeous landscaping for a great taste of the unique Door County ecology. Cool breezes, lots of lawn, no bugs. Just delightful in every way. The house is way more spacious and comfortable than the pictures capture, with vaulted ceilings and skylights and high-quality modern appliances, but still keeps a lot of the original peculiar, delightful charm of the house. My favorite luxury was a skylight in the vaulted ceiling over the master toilet, for some late-night stargazing :D My only small (non-)criticism is that the pictures just don't do it justice. An absolutely perfect stay.

Lovely home, great location

Home was comfortable and our hosts were very responsive! Cooked most dinners at the house and the kitchen had what we needed, including good knives, which is often hit or miss at rentals. Gas grill is in great condition and very clean as well. Neighborhood is family friendly and was quiet during our stay. Loved having the kayaks and SUP. Having garage available to keep bikes was a plus as well. The landscaping in the yard was amazing and really showcased the beauty of the surrounding nature. Plenty of things to do within in a short drive. Thanks to Liz and Andy for a great stay!

Awesome stay in Door County

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our door county vacation at starflower cottage. Everyone agreed that the best days of the trip were the days spent on the lake swimming, kayaking, paddle board, fire pit and cooking. The cottage has everything you need and the location can't be beat. Liz and Andy are great hosts. We hope to come back soon.

Perfect central location to see all of Door County

Able to drive to most every part of Door County within about 3 mins - so convenient! The lake setting was beautiful - house was cozy and lots of extras! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating., fire pit with plenty of firewood, kayaks and all household items we needed. Would highly recommend - and stay there again! Only thing it didn’t have was cable or local TV, and WiFi was limited. But wasn’t a problem for us. No time for TV - too much to do in the area! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Couldn’t have been a better place to get away!

Couldn’t have been a better location to watch the sunsets or kayak Kangaroo Lake. Easy access to all the towns, parks and restaurants on the west side of the peninsula but being near Baileys Harbor was nicely less congested and just as quaint. The house is beautifully decorated but not over the top so you have that great lake cabin comfortable feel. It was fully equipped with everything we needed, very clean and pretty. The enclosed porch was a perfect place to hang on the chillier mornings or the afternoon it rained. Being just my husband and me, the large master bedroom and bath were perfect. The property is quite private and beautifully landscaped into several different areas depending on your mood and activity - stone patio, relaxing chair in the shade overlooking the lake, Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, lawn big enough for bocce ball. All uniquely decorated with beautiful perennials. We went in September but would recommend this property any time of year. There couldn’t have been a better place to get away in Door County.

A Perfect Vacation

My adult daughter and I stayed at Starflower Cottage for a week the end of August and it was a week from heaven. The setting is beautiful - right next to the lake. We were blessed with fabulous weather. The location is off the beaten path but convenient to anything you want to do in Door County. The home is lovely. VERY CLEAN! We especially enjoyed the sunporch with its view of the lake and the patio area. The owner was very responsive to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be going back.

Great view of lake kangaroo. Plenty of room for the 5 of us and being in door county makes it cost to every place we wanted to see. The only downfall is that we were not there long enough!

This property is 10/10! The host is 5-star! We enjoyed every minute of our 7 nights vacation and wis

Initially booked for 5 nights, but we were able to extend it to 7 nights. We travel a lot, including overseas, and this property was the best we ever stayed at. The host is very welcoming and helpful, and the amenities are better than described and expected. We rarely left the property, as it was very relaxing and enjoyable. We hope to come back soon!

Warm Sun, Cool Breeze, and Good Vibes

Fantastic property - the photos do not do it justice! Quaint cabin with an old school vibe. Plenty of room for family of 5. Great amenities including gas grills, fire pit, SUP, Kayaks, and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. The water is shallow and great for small kids to play in. Be sure to bring water shoes as it is rocky. 5 minute drive into Bailey's Harbor and about 15 minutes from everything else.

Wonderful stay for our family vacation!

I booked this house to take my family of 6 for our first vacation in many, many years. We loved everything about this house from the homely cabin feel, large table to play games as a family, fires in the fire pit, kayaking, fishing and so much more. The memories we made as family during our stay will be cherished forever. The host was very accommodating, quick to respond and very clearly appreciated having us. The house was perfect for our family, had lots of space for everyone to gather in the living room, the patio was perfect for meals outside and the views from the dock were gorgeous. We would definitely stay here again as a family!

Perfect lake house vacation

The place was very beautiful in a quite Kangaroo lake front location. The location was so beautiful and the lake was not deep in front of the property and perfect for swimming, kayaking with kids and other family members. Also the place comes ready with life vests, kayaks, grill and every thing you need in a lake house. Communication with Liz was excellent. Would definitely book again in the future.

Peaceful retreat at the Lake.

Starflower cottage is a gem on the beautiful lake. We loved the blend of vintage charm and modern amenities, exactly as advertised. Everything was also clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the dock, using the fire pit, and playing some games. . We were close to golf, restaurants, shopping and The Ridges Sanctuary. A great place to experience.

What a wonderful place!

The direct lake access is great. We ice fished and hiked across the lake to Coyote Roadhouse for lunch one day. The house is very nice with plenty of space for our family of 4 to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked and the host is very friendly and was immediately responsive with answers to a few questions we had. Would definitely stay again!

Cozy Winter Getaway

The home has a cozy cabin feel with beautiful updates in the bathrooms and kitchen, providing all the amenities needed for a vacation. Three deer came right up to the cabin to eat. We watched ice fishermen on the lake from our cozy view next to the fireplace. Lovely quiet weekend to be remembered for a long time. Thank you!
