Family fun with young grandchildren

Outstanding location with nicely maintained property only one block from the Ephraim Bay. Also had toys for our 3 year old grandchildren (bubbles and a beach ball), nice fire pits, and a beautiful second floor deck (that could use an umbrella for shade. Excellent kitchen with utensils and large great room with large dining room table. Accommodated our six adults and 4 young grandchildren nicely.

Great location & great accomodations

This rental was exactly as advertised. It was in a great location--close to everything in Ephraim, but also in great proximity to all of the peninsula--we were all over it! Everything was clean in it, and it served our purposes for the trip. We were so busy outside that we didn't even need to turn on a TV the whole time we were there. The main doors into the main house were a tad problematic, but we were able to overcome the issues. I spoke with the owners, and they said that they were going to fix this issue. The duplex units were warm, as they were in the middle of a "heat wave" and they didn't have true AC in there. But we're from Texas, so they're "heat wave" was a piece of cake! Overall, I think the property was a nice place to stay, and it was very convenient for everything.

Beautiful Cottage Setting in Ephraim

This was the first time we stayed in Ephraim. Great location!! Approx 2 Minute walk to restaurants, beach/sunset. Plenty of space for our group of 8. Loved that we could hang on the deck or around the camp fire when we were outside. Kitchen supplies were everything you need for the week. The accommodations were nicely updated; from the decor, beds, bath, kitchen etc. We would definitely recommend as a place to stay. Both the main house and cottage duplex are updated and comfortable. Few things we would suggest; 1 Deck on the main house needs an umbrella for shade with the way the sun hits it during happy hour. 2 The door on the main house is very difficult to lock and unlock. Even with the very detailed instructions it seems like there needs to be an enhancement. Thanks for making our 2022 vacation in Door County a special one.

Perfect location in the heart of Door County

This property was the perfect choice for our weekend retreat with two other families. The main house was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The Pine and Cedar cottages were so adorable and came with a full bathroom and microwave, air fryer/ oven and a small refrigerator. The location of this property is outstanding. 2 minutes driving to Anderson dock and 5 minutes walk to the old post office for breakfast or fish boil in the evening. It was never more than 20 minutes to go anywhere. We all had a great time and will definitely consider choosing this property again at our next retreat.

Great place for a family retreat

My wife and I stayed with our son and daughter-in-law, their daughter, and our daughter and her fiancé. There was plenty of room and privacy for all. There was a lot of rain in the area before we arrived, so we couldn't take advantage of the large yard and the available outdoor games, but the deck was great at night!
