We loved staying at the Roo with our kids and grandkids. We played some serious Bananagrams and checkers. The house is clean and cozy. We loved the all-day sunshine!

Great space! The house had everything we could think of - toys/books for little ones, games for adults, pack n play, and even a star astronaut display in kids room. The 3-season room was perfect in the morning and evenings - listening to birds was so peaceful. Would highly recommend.

Thank you, Bridget! We are so happy to hear this and glad you had a wonderful stay.
Our friend group of 6 had a great stay at this property. Communication with the property manager was excellent, the property was spotless and exactly as pictured in the listing. We had a small issue with the heat not working upon arrival but the property manager responded quickly had the issue fixed within an hour. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor firepit area was the perfect spot to gather and relax with our friends. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and there were plenty of towels and blankets. Great location by the lake and only a 5 minute drive to Bailey’s Harbor. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for four days just to get away before our oldest goes off to college! The house was amazing. The screen porch was probably our favorite part! Next time we will stay longer!

We are so happy you had a great stay! Thank you for your kind feedback.
We had a great time staying here. The cabin is cozy and inviting, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans/utensils, and the accommodations are great. The bathrooms have heated floors which were delightful to walk on. The owners also have a generous supply of fire wood for their guests to use, completing the atmosphere of a cozy cottage retreat.

We appreciate you so much, Jessica! Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of hosting you at Roo Retreat!
The house was very nice and cozy for a Fall getaway. We enjoyed being able build a fire and snuggle up together on the couch in the evening. The bed made for a comfortable sleep and the shower was nice and powerful to wake us up in the morning.

So glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Roo Retreat! Thank you, Stacey, for the wonderful feedback and we hope to host you again sometime!
Cute and clean! It was the perfect little getaway. My only complaint was that the Kangaroo beach isn’t really a beach. The Roo retreat itself was perfect!

Very nice central location. Great screened in porch area, primary bathroom and space between neighbors. Lock box was a bit challenging to reinsert. The check-out process request to remove all sheets and place them in the laundry room before departure was a service we have previously received at other VRBO rentals. Overall great experience.

Clean, cute and comfortable place. Everything had been well thought out in terms of guest needs. Beds super comfortable. Was on the cool side with rain so we enjoyed games by the fire. Would absolutely book again if in the area.
