About this house rental
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!

It is a really nice property and the owners obviously put a lot into it. Love the space. Comfortable furniture. Plenty of room. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking pans and gadgets. We were very pleased. Great location. All in all we all had a wonderful time.

A wonderful week long stay in Door County. The house is beautiful and charming with many high end appliances and touches. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any concerns we had.

We really enjoyed this property for the 4 of us, including our two children, age 17 and 16. Right on the water on Kangaroo Lake - clear / clean / tons of fun. The cabin itself was fully stocked and functional. We hope to be back in 2025 pending college plans!

The house is beautiful and has all the amenities one would need for a stay. There was a lovely view of the lake. The house is spacious, clean and well put together. There were 2 types of coffee machines and coffee provided, lots of pots and pans. There was also a washer and dryer. We stayed with our 2 teenagers and they liked the house too.

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!!

Quiet and comfortable cottage. Well maintained and updated. Close to Lake Michigan, beaches and Baileys Harbor.

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.

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.

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!

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 location to chill and relax at the cottage, kayak, swim in the beautifully clear lake, or run into town for shopping and eats! We will be back!

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 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.

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!
5.0
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!
5.0
Everything was amazing. The place was great, communication with host was very helpful and timely, and we very much enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect location, and it was right on the water. If we come back to Door County again I would hands down look to stay here!!

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.

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.

Great location and lovely home!
We had an amazing time during our stay. Just a short drive to sister bay, fish creek and various towns.
Also enjoyed the lake being steps away from the house, loved doing kayaking (included in the rental) such a peaceful and serene experience.

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!

Quiet Getaway
What a gem! We spend some great family time in this quiet cozy cottage. While the bedrooms and bathrooms could use some modernizing, the entire place was clean and welcoming!

Classic and charming cottage!
Our family of 5 (mom, dad and 3 young adult children) enjoyed a wonderful winter getaway at Starflower Cottage. Plenty of sleeping space and privacy for everyone, and an inviting and cozy living room/kitchen/fireplace for us to relax together. I especially loved the traditional 'up North' cottage decor with modern additions. Even during winter it was a treat to stay right on Kangaroo Lake and view the sunsets. I can only dream of a summer visit with the screened porch, outdoor patio and lake fun. The cottage location was easy for us to explore Door County - we hiked at Europe Lake, the Ridges, and Whitefish Dunes. Not enough snow/ice for cross country skiing or ice fishing, but we found plenty of entertainment (Kick Ash coffee, Sister Bay Bowling, shopping, dinner at Clover and Zot was delicious). The home is extremely well cared for and clean, and had everything we needed to eat meals at home (take out from Baileys Harbor Cornerstone Pub was great). My oldest daughter worked remotely with a lakeside view and plenty of wifi. Liz was very accommodating, and an extremely warm and generous host. We would stay again for sure!

Beautiful Cabin Spot
Everything was great, and cleaned really well. Reminded me of my childhood cabin. Coffee on the screened porch with the breeze and lake view was a highlight each morning.

Perfect Stay at Starflower Cottage
Starflower Cottage is a lovely home with gorgeous landscaping and interior decor! The pier's close proximity to the lake provided beautiful sunsets. The weather kept us from enjoying the lake which looked perfect for swimming and kayaking. But we appreciated the beautiful gas fireplace and gathered in the large, comfortable living area for conversation and board games. We also loved the master bedroom suite, sun porch, and many amenities provided. We were most impressed with the quick and attentive responses to our inquiries from our host, Liz. We will choose Starflower Cottage for our next trip to Door County!

Wonderful stay in Baileys Harbor!
We really enjoyed staying at this charming cottage on Kangaroo Lake. The cottage was clean and well-equipped with great views of the water. Wonderful outdoor landscaping was beautiful as well! We really enjoyed using the kayaks just about every day. Great place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings! We would not hesitate to stay here again!

What a great cottage and highly recommend it! The size was perfect for our family and we loved spending time on the porch in the morning and evening. We loved being on the lake and it was a great location in Door County! We would love to go back!

Nice place to stay in Central Door County
This was a nice house on an inland lake in Door County; perfect for a family of 5 to have a full house to relax in for a week. Resorts/hotels often don't offer enough space for a family to relax. The home is located near Bailey's Harbor, so it was easy to get to the locations to do things around the peninsula. The house was clean and in good shape and the beds were comfy.
