We had the most wonderful stay at the Harbor House cottage this summer. The location of this home could not be more perfect to get almost anywhere in Door County. The local beach was the best around and so clean/calm. We would stay in this home again without hesitation. This home was clean and well stocked for a lovely trip!

Mostly good

Stayed for a long weekend as a family of 5. The cottage was cozy, but comfortable. It has everything we needed for our stay and included some cute and thoughtful touches. The cottage did, however, have a funny smell. Maybe it was musty? Not sure, but it was definitely noticeable whenever you walked in. It was also cooled with 2 AC window units in each of the bedrooms, which were effective but noisy. Overall it was still a good stay, just a few things that might make me look for a different place next time.

Ephraim cottage

We loved our time spent here. The cottage was clean and the perfect size for our two-person getaway (could also fit up to 7 comfortably), had everything we needed, and was in a great location! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful/friendly. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun and scenic trip to Door County! We are returning refreshed and rejuvenated.

Quite and convenient

Out of the way of all the crowds but close enough to easily walk to stores, beach and restaurants. Communication with owners was terrific. Cottage was great, perfect setup for small family. Loved that kayaks, kayak carts and equipment were available for us to use, only a short walk to beach. Definitely stay here again.
