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!

Excellent property
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.

Average stay in Bailey’s Harbor
Good location by Kangaroo Lake. We were disappointed that 2 of 3 bedrooms were smaller than expected. The laundry area and floors were dirty. No hooks in smaller bathroom to hang clothes and towels on. Nice yard. Glad there were toys for our toddler.

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.

Sibling reunion
We had a great stay at Bailey’s Harbor, the location was great. The home had plenty of windows with beautiful views of the wooded property and still offered plenty of privacy. The home was well maintained, and the common area was spacious. We definitely would rent it again.
