The Rushes Resort offers the perfect mix of comfort and adventure. With cozy fireplaces, scenic views, abundant amenities, you’ll feel right at home.  We combine water and woods to offer year-round outdoor enjoyment. The Rushes Resort is conveniently located on the shores of Kangaroo Lake in the Town of Jacksonport, just 1 ½ miles off highway 57. While our mailing address is Baileys Harbor, we are ideally situated near the Lake Michigan Shoreline, and just a short drive from downtown Baileys Harbor, and nearby towns. 

Our Welcome Center with the swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, and exercise room are open from 8:00AM-8:00PM daily.  The Welcome Center also has food, refreshments, and clothing items available for purchase, movie rentals and activities. Our staff is available to assist with our check- in and check-out process and with any other questions while on property. From cozy living spaces to breathtaking views, you’ll love making this your new home!! Experience the comfort, the convenience, and the joy of renting or owning at the Rushes!

Our Resort features 48 condos that offer 1,400 sq. feet of well-appointed living space. The condos offer couples and families a perfect blend of comfort, space, and scenic beauty in the heart of Door County.  Unlike a cramped hotel room, these spacious two or three-bedrooms, two bath condos feature fully equipped kitchens, cozy living areas with fireplaces, private patios and balconies overlooking the woods, or water.  Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning coffee with a view or gathering for a home cooked meal after a day of adventure, the thoughtfully designed interiors provide all the comforts of home with the added indulgence of a resort-style getaway. 

Beyond the beautiful interiors, staying at the Rushes means access to an impressive array of amenities that enhance your vacation experience year-round.  Guests can unwind on the private sandy beach, explore miles of scenic hiking and cross-country ski trails, or take advantage of complimentary recreational equipment like kayaks, bikes, snowshoes and many more!

Families will love the indoor pool, hot tub, and game room, while others savor a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.

The Rushes Wilderness Preserve surrounds our property and has one hundred acres of woodland trails perfect for bird watching, walking, jogging, cross country skiing, and snow shoeing!  With resort staff handling all maintenance and cleaning, you get to focus on what matters most, creating lasting memories with a hassle-free setting.
