★OUR CLEANING PROTOCOLS SET US APART★
We stay in multiple vacation rentals a year, and we know firsthand how the cleanliness of a rental can make or break a vacation. Unlike most vacation rentals, at Chicory Cottage, we wash/change out all duvet covers, living room throw blankets, and living room throw pillow covers between every guest, in addition to all the typical bed sheets and pillowcases. We take cleaning very seriously, and we don't cut corners. Our whole-home process is extremely extensive because we know that your relaxation and enjoyment depend on it. Our home is family-managed and cared for because we believe you deserve the highest level of guest experience, cleanliness, and peace of mind during your vacation.

Chicory Cottage is NOT lakefront. Nor is it 100 feet from Kangaroo Lake.)

Door County Weekend

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!

Beautiful home

If you’re looking for the perfect house for adults and kids combined, this is the perfect place. First off it is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. Just the ultimate cozy stay. The garage that is now a game room was so fun for all of us. The proximity to the lake is amazing. Now we went in the winter so the lake was pretty but we didn’t use it but I imagine in the summer it is a family fun place. I would stay here again in a minute.

Dream Get-away

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!

Great house

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.

Green Cottage in the woods

This cottage in the woods was so comfortable and cozy. We stayed for a winter get away which happened over 2 big snow storms including a blizzard. The home was very warm and air tight. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. Jennifer was very responsive and accommodating. They made our stay very pleasant. Because of the storms we didn’t get to use the fire pit, deck or screen porch, but we still really enjoyed the stay. It’s also a great location. There was a cozy little tavern restaurant (Coyote Roadhouse) within walking distance that we enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Awesome place from which to explore Door County, Wisconsin !

This place was a little expensive for us since it was just me & my wife, but we made our plans last minute & were glad it was available, & it was amazing ! It would be fun & more affordable to come back with friends or family. very clean. comfortable. excellent, quick responses from the host. great location from which to explore all that Door County has to offer. We only stayed 2 nights and did not have time to explore the water options, of which there are many. plenty of great restaurants nearby. We can't wait to come back !

This property was amazing! It was possibly the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. The home is beautiful with all of the amenities you could possibly want. The property is spacious and lovely with great outdoor living areas. The bonus game room and record player add an additional element of fun for all ages. The hosts were phenomenal with communication and truly want their guests to have the best experience. Their attention to detail was unparalleled! We would absolutely recommend staying at Chicory House! The only thing we don’t like about it is that we cannot bring our pup, but we understand why pets are not allowed. We will be back!!

Immaculate, Cozy, They-Thought-of-Everything Kind of Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This property exceeded our expectations. From the well-appointed kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas, to the well stocked game room, yard games, and SUPs, so many things set this property apart. You name it, this property has it: screened in sunroom, fire pit, deck, room to enjoy the outdoors. The pictures do a great job of representing exactly what you will find when you arrive. We enjoyed comfort and convenience rolled into one - the house truly became an attraction in itself. The hosts’ personal touches were the frosting on top - including great recommendations for area attractions. We would not hesitate to come back again and again - and to highly recommend this property to anyone - truly a 5-star experience.

AMAZING!

We can't wait to return to Jennifer and Brian's Bailey's Harbor home. We had never stayed in BH before and really enjoyed the location - very easy to get everywhere in DC without being stuck on slow traffic, 2 lane roads. The house was fantastic! Probably the best VRBO I've ever stayed at. Impeccably clean and had absolutely everything we needed. Such a comfortable place to spend time. The garage was very well utilized by us - our kids loved all the games and even spent some time in the "little kids'" corner. The grown ups played out there after the kids went to bed. The s'mores kit was such a nice welcome gift, we used it on both fireplaces! The yard games outside were super fun, and we spotted some deer in the woods out back. When we had a minor issue, Brian was over within hours to fix it. I really have no opportunities for improvement here. Pure perfection!
