NEW! A truly pretty, spacious home - for 1 or 2 couples, or a small family.

The APPLE RETREAT is one of two brand new listings. I spent most of 2021 renovating in order to create a fantastic, elegant and charming place to enjoy in all seasons. A private entrance leads to three over-sized rooms, a very large living room with beamed 14-ft cathedral ceiling, all with great windows and light. The living room TV has AmazonPrime, Hulu, Cable etc, and there are also some board games, books etc. A dining-room/kitchen with table for six and a large kitchen island complements the beautiful full kitchen, with microwave, dishwasher, oven and fridge/freezer. Finally there's a very spacious bedroom with King Bed and luxury linens, with closet space and en suite bathroom (with tub/shower combo). The home also has a separate powder room. Outside, there is a pretty, enclosed private covered porch immediately outside the dining area, separated from it by three large picture windows. Great for relaxing outside on the evenings. In the daytimes, light streams into the living room and dining areas, making the place feel spacious and relaxed. This impression of space is greatly enhanced by the cathedral ceilings in both the living and dining rooms - rising to 14 feet at their peak. Most of the floors are in an elegant wood finish; the bedroom is carpeted. The house sleeps up to 4: That is: 2 in the King bed, and then a high-end Queen sofa-bed in the living room provides sleeping for 2 more when needed. Rather than creating additional smaller bedrooms, I decided to keep the place generous in proportion, so that guests can really spread out and not feel cramped. The landscaping round the house and in the whole Green Gables complex is almost an obsession for me, and continually a work in progress! - and is already quite stunning. For instance, I planted over 30,000 spring bulbs at Green Gables by hand last Fall! As this is an absolutely new listing it has no reviews as yet, and is priced competitively.

My two well-established and available vacation rentals nearby (also on the Green Gables property) have been give almost entirely 5-star ratings by more than 100 groups of guests, and you can read these at the links below. These are the PLUM RETREAT, which sleeps up to 6, and BIRCH REREAT which sleeps up to 4. Finally, a second NEW vacation home at Green Gables this year is the SPRUCE RETREAT, a richly furnished, colorful and spacious home, with full kitchen, sleeping 2-4; great for a couple's romantic getaway, or for a young family. Please explore these to read guests' positive feedback, and discover all that "Green Gables" has to offer.

Plum Retreat: www.vrbo.com/1656362 (Lots of great reviews)
Birch Retreat: www.vrbo.com/1656219 (Lots of great reviews)
Spruce Retreat: www.vrbo.com/2708225 (This one, like APPLE, is new for 2022, so no reviews yet)

I hope you'll choose Green Gables either this year or in the future. If you love gardens and are looking to truly relax, you've found the right place! Its location is perfect from which to get around Door County!

Lovely home in a great location!
The Apple Retreat was a wonderful place to stay for a weekend in Door County! It was centrally located, very clean, had comfortable couches and a bed and felt like a little home away from home! I would absolutely recommend a stay in any one of Colin's properties!

Enjoy the beauty of Green Gables in Ephraim
We loved the beauty of the architecture and the many gorgeous gardens at Green Gables. Every amenity one could think of was provided at this completely restored vacation home, as well as many extras not necessary but so appreciated. We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay and look forward to a return visit.

Relaxing Door County Weekend
We were very pleased with the location of this rental, being that it was easy to find yet traffic was very quiet. The house was gorgeous, spacious, and welcoming! The view out of the master bedroom was beautiful! We enjoyed our stay very much, and found the central location of the rental on the peninsula made it easy to get around to wherever we wanted to go.

Oasis of tranquility and coziness!
This is our second time staying in the Apple Retreat, and we will absolutely be coming back! The space is wonderful for a small family, with more than enough space in the bedroom for a pack and play. Little details like labels on the light switches and drawers make the whole place so user-friendly, and the home itself is so quiet, clean, and peaceful. Explore the gardens if you can too, they are just wonderful!
