Who needs a garage when you can have a lakeside game room? We transformed the space into a fun-filled retreat with a glass overhead door for easy access to the lake.

Our lakeside game room also has toys, puzzles, and games for younger children.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Boating: Kangaroo Lake is wonderful for paddling. While there is boating on Kangaroo Lake, hidden rock piles and ledges create challenges. There is no boat lift at Chicory Lake House, and our pier is not suitable for mooring a large boat. *Guests planning on bringing a boat must inform us at the time of booking. Jet skis are not allowed.

Swimming conditions: Fishing shoreline with reeds and a rocky bottom. Water shoes are recommended. Typical of most inland Wisconsin lakes, swimmers' itch occasionally occurs but is unpredictable. Like virtually every inland lake in Wisconsin, guests may encounter Canadian Geese (and their droppings) on our lakeshore or pier.
