Gorgeous home! Perfect location. Close to everything while being nestled in that serene northern woods landscape. Great home for families. Lots of attention to detail with activities and games for the kids. Everyone slept well. The hosts communicated clearly and were available to make sure our stay was not only comfortable but wonderful. Great energy. We felt we were well taken care of. Highly recommended!

It was a lovely setting in backroads near Ephraim. It is surrounded by woods, quiet setting, 3 stories. I rate it highly because it was everything they advertised. Given we are all seniors and went out every night, it would be helpful for better driveway and outdoor lighting, but so happy with our choice. Kitchen very well equipped; we did make a couple meals. They have generous rooms, lots of outdoor accommodations. Host was accessible, but nothing came up. They also have a very well equipped rec room!

Simply and Truly a Home Away From Home
A wonderful home to stay at with everything that you need from kitchen utensils to spices to a wonderful coffee bar. All the beds were very comfortable in our teenage daughter especially loved the loft bedroom at the top of the spiral staircase The game room in the garage was fun for the kids and while the country Street is a little busy a nice area to walk the dogs several times a day. Very centrally located close to Ephrium Peninsula State Park and everything else at Door County has to offer. The host was very responsive when we had questions. It’s not easy to find such a nice place that also will allow dogs. We definitely will be back in the future. Thank you.

Great property in the woods.
This is a great property. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are really big with King Beds in two of them, and bunks for kids for the 3rd bedroom. The 4th bedroom is in an attic space(with a window), perfect for your angsty teenager.
All the bathrooms are newly renovated and nicely sized. The 3 big bedrooms are all have their own bathroom which is great when you have 6 guests staying.
Property is pretty isolated in the woods. You can see one house through trees standing on the back porch. The porch is nice and big, and has some comfy furniture. The living room area is big with plenty of seating, and space for dining both in and outside. We had lots of fun playing ping pong in the garage as well, and doing a puzzle on the living room coffee table over the week we stayed.
It's a 2 minute drive to Ephraim. Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, Sister Bay, Ellison Bay are all within a 20 minute drive.
It's a 15 minute walk down to Ephraim, if you want to stretch your legs, but the back roads this property is located on don't have too much traffic and is great for a stroll on dog walk.
Perfect place if you want some relaxation and privacy but still want access to all the area towns.
