Book it!

It was our first time in the area and it was perfect for what we needed. It had all the amenities, charm, and comfort. My favorite part was the location/neighborhood because it was quiet and right next to the nature park (perfect for our dogs). It was also just a short walk to the water/restaurants.

Nice and cozy cabin. Good place to stay. Close by Ephraim. Note, Wifi didn't reliably work and we didn't have cell-service, so you will have to travel into Ephraim for those two. A nice way to stay in Door County off the grid and cook meals without having to go out for every meal.

It’s a charming log cabin with one bed and a pull out futon. It was clean and comfortable and Emily was a good communicator. It backs up to a nature reserve with nice hiking trails. We enjoyed our stay there.

Loved the ambience of the cabin, it was comfortable and really made it feel like we were living back in time (minus the modern additions). We were thankful the night was cool so we could use the fire place.
