Harbor House located in the heart of Ephraim!

Welcome to Harbor House, located in the heart of Ephraim, Wisconsin!

Ephraim, with its sparkling harbor and picturesque landscape, is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Door County's bayside villages. That's where you'll find our restored 5-bedroom house, located on a quiet street at 9801 Brookside Lane.

For your convenience, all beds have pillows, bedspreads, blankets, sheets, pillowcases and mattress pads. Bath towels are also provided.

Harbor House features a 32" flat screen SmartTV as well as hi-speed WiFi. We provide a Weber charcoal grill, an outdoor fire pit with Adirondack chairs as well as 4 kayaks for our guests to use. For those traveling with small children, a pack-and-play crib and highchair are available.

Parking is provided for up to 3 cars. For groups that have a large number of people, consider booking both the 5 bedroom house and our 2-bedroom Harbor House Guest Cottage located toward the back of our property (listing number 982888).

Harbor House was perfect for our girls getaway. Great location plus the house had every creature comfort that anyone would want or need. Very clean! What sold me on this property were all the gathering places for a group - the living room, dining room, front porch, the fire pit and the gazebo. The hosts were exceptionally nice and were always accessible via phone if needed. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful week at the Harbor House. Located on a quiet street, with quick access to restaurants, shopping & the beach. The house is comfortable and well stocked and had plenty of room for our family of seven. The screened porch & gazebo are wonderful and the kids enjoyed the yard. We hope to return!

The house was good, advertised as a 5 bedroom, however two were bunk beds not suitable for couples. Alittle disappointed with that. We did not spend much time in the house so we managed. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Spent most of our time at Red Putters Mini Golf prepping and competing in their Event. We plan on returning in 2026. Hopefully we can find accommodations that fit our needs.

Excellent stay at Harbor House

We had an excellent stay at the Harbor House! This property is situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood just a few minutes' walk from Ephraim public beach. Check-in was quick and simple and the owner is very responsive. The property was clean and has excellent gathering areas for a group in the dining room, living room, front porch, and outdoor seating area. We LOVED the screened-in porch as it allowed us to enjoy the outdoors without dealing with the bugs that are ever-present in Door County! We enjoyed the use of the kayaks from the property and used the Ephraim public beach access to enter the water. There are window AC units in each room, with the exception of the laundry room/bedroom, but this room has screened windows that can be opened to allow air circulation. We had a very pleasant stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

Gateway to Northern Door County

Harbor House is a warm, inviting home nestled just off the main road, making the location perfect for access to Peninsula Park, downtown Ephraim and Northern Door County. Large screened in porch, clean, spacious, and well stocked, this home is a great choice for your time away from home.

Perfect location

This was for my daughters 34 birthday. Also our annual girls (family) trip. We had 2 great grandmas 1 grandma 2 daughters and 3 little men ages 4,2,and 8weeks. The home was perfect. Walking distance to a cute little candy shop and a breakfast nook. The public beach was so close. The yard was perfect for the little men to explore. The drawers were filled with everything that was needed to accommodate us. The rooms were cozy. Love this place! Thank you again for a perfect time spent there! Much love

Perfect for our Family

We were so pleased with our stay at the Harbor House! Everything was nice and tidy upon arrival, check in directions were clear, and hosts checked in with us. We outgrew a different place we used to stay in Door County, and this was the perfect place to fit all 8 of us, including children. Having 4 bedrooms is so accommodating. Our favorite perks were the beautiful screened in porch, spacious yard with fire pit, and prime location. We will definitely be back!

Classic Door County Charm, Ideal Location

Love this house! Cozy, clean, and lots of Door County charm with the large, enclosed front porch. (The porch would be ideal for a family game night in the summer with its tables and porch swing.) We had a nice time at the fire pit surrounded by plenty of Adirondack chairs for our group. (Bring your own firewood.) Even saw beautiful northern lights from the beach a couple of blocks away, and heard coyotes yipping and howling in the wooded area to the west. Very responsive host. Highly recommend!

Cozy Door County house

House was comfortable with a very nice porch. Plenty of room to accommodate our group of 5. Nice firepit area for a group to enjoy (we didn't have the time to use it). The walk to the lake was only about a block away. The owners contacted us to check that all was ok when we checked in and again to ask if we had any check out questions. Highly recommend this rental.

Perfect place-perfect timing

We were a group of 73 year old women getting together here after our 55 year class reunion in Green Bay. There were 9 and all were comfortable with sleeping arrangements. Great location, walking distance to shore, where we were pretty lucky to see the northern lights. We had one little glitch with internet and was quickly taken care of with Randy. The hosts were very attentive, concerned that everything was good. A good and special time was had by us all. Thank you Randy and Elizabeth
