Great location in Ephraim

Perfect location to enjoy the town of Ephraim. Great Air Conditioning which was much needed. Parking situation was great. The only issue was not having ice available. No ice maker or ice trays in the refrigerator.

Great location for a small family

This property was in the perfect location for our weekend stay in Door County. The check in process was very easy and the property was clean. Given what we paid I hoped we would have a few less responsibilities at check out and a slightly upgraded absorbency level when it comes to toilet paper ☺️, but overall a good experience.

Mattresses need to be replaced. Both sink and are too soft ! Uncomfortable ! Clean but costly ! Quite a list of things expected of guests at end of stay.

Good spot in the heart of Ephraim

This was a great location and a very nice, clean little condo with charming decor and everything you need in a kitchen. We were able to walk everywhere easily and really enjoyed our time there. Three things to mention: 1) our security code stopped working after the first day so we had to call for help but that was quickly rectified. 2) it was a bit tricky to find as the VRBO listing calls the complex something different than what is on the actual sign outside the building and 3) the instructions noted to put dirty laundry next to the washing machine and there is not one in this unit.

Nice, functional lodging

Overall the property met our needs. Location was great and easy to find. We went in the fall so we didn’t utilize the outdoor amenities but they looked nice. The only suggestion I would make would be to tweak the communication about the rules related to the property. While I understand the need to establish clear communication it came across as not very welcoming.
