Discover Ephraim, one of Door County’s most picturesque waterfront villages, known for its Scandinavian heritage, historic charm, beautiful Eagle Harbor views, and relaxed pace. Set between the waterfront and Peninsula State Park, Ephraim offers an easy blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, local dining, galleries, and independently owned shops.
Spend the day strolling along the waterfront, paddling or boating on Eagle Harbor, browsing galleries and shops, or exploring the trails, beaches, overlooks, and shoreline of nearby Peninsula State Park. In the evening, slow down and enjoy the village, watch the sunset over the harbor, or simply take in the quieter side of Door County that makes Ephraim so special.
The Ephraim House is tucked into the woods just two blocks from the waterfront, dining, and shops, and about a mile from Peninsula State Park. Much of Ephraim can be enjoyed on foot or by bike, while some of Door County’s best outdoor recreation is just minutes away.

Relaxing fun in Door County

The Ephraim House is just as impressive in person as in the photos. It's a great size for larger groups, is clean and well-maintained, and has a wonderful open kitchen and greatroom floorplan. Downtown Ephraim is easy walking distance from the house, yet you feel completely surrounded by nature when you are looking out the windows or sitting on the deck. Highly recommend!

Great home in a beautiful setting

We loved staying at this beautiful home. Which is beautifully appointed, clean and extremely comfortable. The layout of the home allowed for kid fun downstairs. The hot tub was perfect for all to enjoy along with the fire pit and ample wood provided. We are thankful for the memories made at the Ephiram house.

Awesome experience!

This is a great house in a wonderful location. We were 3 generations gathering for a summer get-away so the house was laid out great for all ages. Loved all the water equipment for the beach with fun fire-pit and hot tub in back yard. Erin (the host) was fabulous and even recovered a lost toy by our 3 year old who was thrilled to get it returned to him. We will hope to stay again!

Fantastic house right next to Ephraim waterfront

This was our second stay as a family at the Ephraim House and it was as good as the first time. The house is spectacular and located a short walk or bike from the Ephraim waterfront. It is spacious, new, and well kept with lots of activities. The hosts are incredible -- very responsive and have great advice for taking advantage of time in Door County. Strong recommend -- it is an extraordinary place.

Great launchpad for an exceptional Door County adventure.

The home was lovely, and the location couldn't be better. Within walking distance to the bay and Ephraim shops. The home had an abundance of equipment to meet the needs of guests of all ages. I enjoyed biking to nearby Peninsula state park. Our five-year-old grandchildren appreciated the small touches such as the books provided in the bunk bed shelves and the opportunity to create smores on the fire table on the balcony. Erin was an extremely solicitous host who smoothed over any glitches that arose.

Her instructions on how to access the property were detailed and clear. She even offered to ship a pair of pants that our friend’s son left behind.

What a wonderful property and owner

We had a lovely week with extended family at this well-located, well-kept, well-equipped and lovely house. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly over text. Best Vrbo owner I have ever dealt with. Zero complaints about anything. Really comfortable and cozy house. They went out of their way to supply a lot of things that usually are not found at rentals homes like lots of couch throw blankets, tissue boxes, baskets to keep your toiletries in, a lily pad, and Tupperware.

Annual Door County birthday celebration for my wife with her 4 sisters and spouses

We had 5 couples stay at the house for a great 3 day weekend. The same group has been coming to Door County in January to celebrate my wife's birthday for over 20 years. Everyone in our group loved the Ephraim House! Everything was so clean and furnished nicely. The kitchen was extra nice and everyone loved the large gas fireplace on the cold January nights. Good location and close to restaurants and shopping. We are hoping to return to Ephraim House in the future. 5 stars.
