Ephraim Gem

The Homestead Rental was fantastic, we all agree we would definitely stay there again. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the hosts have thought of every possible small detail to make your stay pleasant. That along with the location will put this home at the top of our list for trips to Door County!

Fall color visit

My parents came out from Oregon for the fall colors. We had a fantastic time! The cottage was perfect, and very well appointed. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t already there. Everything was very clean and the beds were very comfortable.

Great home and host

Excellent house in the heart of Ephraim. Walking distance to all Ephraim restaurants and the waterfront. The house has an awesome view of the water in the distance from the living room. The host was very responsive, the house was clean, and it had all the cooking items we needed. I would stay here again.

Fall Break

We wanted a short fall break for our family. The homestead perfectly met our needs. The location of Ephraim was ideal because it allowed us to visit Sister Bay, Peninsula State Park, Fish Creek and of course, Ephraim. The homestead was very comfortable and met all of our needs. We enjoyed snacks provided by the host upon arrival. Instructions were clearly marked throughout the house and Checkin process very easy.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable and provided for our needs. So thoughtful of Diane and Larry to leave a gift basket. We would definitely recommend this house as an inviting place to stay in a quiet area within walking distance to the water and to restaurants.

Great home base for exploring Door County

The Homestead Rental in Ephraim was a great central location for exploring all Door County has to offer. It was the perfect size for my wife and I and the two other couples (friends) we were traveling with. When we arrived, it was great that the lights were left on for us, so we didn't need to hunt for light switches right away. We were surprised and really appreciated the welcome gift of snacks and Door County cookbooks. Having access to the dock and gazebo for watching sunsets was great. Sitting and relaxing on the patio was wonderful each evening. While the building seem a bit older, it was well kept and clean. The WiFi worked great and we all appreciated the abundance of hot water. Will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to Door County.

Beautiful view of the bay/sunset!

My family loved staying at the Homestead property. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to watch the breath taking sunsets!!! The location is great! We walked to Wilson's for dinner and ice cream. The public beach is a 7.5 minute walk away. It is an awesome beach for families of all ages! The beds were comfy, bathrooms were cutely remodeled. There is a fully stocked kitchen and a grill that we enjoyed using while our kids ran around the yard overlooking the bay on the front patio. Downsides: It would have been nice to have laundry facilities on site. We found a laundromat in Sister Bay, but it ate up half a day doing laundry. The wi-fi was painfully slow. Overall, we loved the place. It was convenient to everything and has a gorgeous view!!!

FANTASTIC SPACE, FANTASTIC PLACE!!

Our family has come to Door Co a number of times over the years; however, we knew we didn’t want to have a hotel/condo with our adult children staying with us. We found this home available thru VRBO & the hostess stayed in touch throughout. We got to Ephraim later than we had planned but Diane had left snacks & a welcome letter which was so appreciated at that time in the evening. Every room was spacious, the kitchen had plenty of room for any cooking we did & there was plenty of seating in the living room when we wound down at night. It was unusually warm during our stay so the individual A/C units were great! Our family truly enjoyed our stay & highly recommend this property to anyone considering it!!

Perfect location

The Homestead home was perfect for our family week in Door County. The rooms were all a good size to fit 6 adults and one baby. Although there is no dining room, we managed to eat 2 dinners in the kitchen area. We really enjoyed eating on the patio and cooking a few meals on the grill. The highlight each evening was walking down to the dock to watch the sunset or walking to Wilson’s for an ice cream! The location is centrally located to visit the small towns and the State Park.

Great Experience

We wanted a vrbo since we have a 3.5 year old and an 11 month old so they each had their own room and we had a kitchen to prepare meals and snacks for them. The house was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our experience! This location does not have infant sleep accommodations so we brought the pack n’ play tor our littlest one to sleep in, not something I thought about until after booking so just an fyi!
