Door County, Wisconsin is a special place in its own right but Ephraim is a quiet village perfect for families that want to experience a simpler life, for couples that want to keep the flame alive, for outdoor enthusiasts that hike, bike or kayak, for gals that want girl time, for guys that love to boat and fish, and for everyone else in between who wants to feel at home while on vacation.

Your cottage, which is located on the Ephraim Village Cottage resort property in Ephraim, WI, has everything you need to relax, unwind, and reconnect with family, friends, and even make new friends.

Great spot

Nice place to stay, great location! We were able to walk around town and site see without dealing with parking. Check in was super smooth and the cleaning process wasn't outrageous like other places I've stayed.

A Perfect Door County Stay

Lovely properties on beautifully maintained land. Our cabin was one of maybe 10-12 others. Perfect for our family of 4. Our cabin had all of the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay. Walking distance to the beach, centrally located in the county, pet friendly, CLEAN and updated, we had a wonderful time! You can really tell the owners care about their property and their guests!

too short

the purpose of the trip was for my son's wedding reception, so most of our time was spent over in fish creek. It was nice to return to a comfortable cabin of an evening. the location was exceptionally convenient. we were only 15 minutes away. We have an older dog so it was nice for him to rest on the first floor. this was our first time in door county, very nice area, worth a revisit some time. Thank you to our host Daryl and Ruann
