Walk to Everything Ephraim has to Offer! Pet Friendly! Great Wifi!

Welcome to Collings Summer House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! You'll be in the heart of Ephraim while staying at this adorable cottage within walking distance to beaches, shopping, restaurants and recreation activities! Located right on Water Street across from Eagle Harbor, you'll be in the center of the action, yet feel worlds away in your peaceful retreat! Sleeps up to 4 with 1 bedroom and a pullout couch in the main living area. Enjoy reading a book in the sunshine on the outdoor patio.

We love our furry family members and welcome yours too. Pets are allowed with prior approval. There is a fee of $50 per dog/per night, (maximum of 2 small dogs or 1 large dog) which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date. The cottage is small so active dogs may have a hard time in the small space.

This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors and municipal restrictions, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, weddings, or other gatherings.

Great Wi-Fi signal so you can work remotely and do Zoom meetings!

Nice Place To Stay
Clean and comfortable. The only complaint I have is the amount of motor noise in the bedroom from something running in the crawlspace. I am a light sleeper and didnt get much sleep that weekend due to this noise.

Great Location to enjoy some time in Door County
We were only in Door County for two nights so location was pretty important. Nestled between Fish Creek and Sister Bay this is a perfect place. We did dinners in Sister Bay, spent some time in Peninsula state park which is minutes away, enjoyed some vineyards etc. Everything with the property was great!

The cutest and best location
This little cottage couldn’t have been better. Tucked away on the Main Street, it was still quiet and had an awesome view. It was perfect for me and my pet, and it would have been fine for a couple, too. Everything was clean and in good condition.

A fantastic cozy stay in Ephraim
My daughter and I stayed here for three nights in June 2023 and loved it. The cottage was clean and even though it's not very big, it had all the amenities we needed. The fold out bed in the living room was comfortable for my daughter and the bed in the bedroom was comfortable for me. The location can't be beat as it's only a short walk to the places like Wilson's and the Chef's Hat. For a cozy and comfortable stay close to everything in Ephraim, I highly recommend the Summer Cottage.
