Cute Cottage Centrally Located

This cute cottage is in the heart of Northern Door Counties action. Location is great! Beware of its steep stairs to the upstairs bedrooms. Pleasant parklike setting in an old small resort cabin cluster.

The cottage was clean and well stocked. Kitchen had all utensils we needed. The only issue we had was the staircase. Very difficult to go up/down due to its height and being so narrow.

Very cozy cabin. Very safe and secure. The twin beds could benefit from a mattress upgrade. We were not able to sleep on those beds. The two other beds were great.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin, conveniently located at the edge of Fish Creek. Our son had a great time fishing off the pier, and the well-maintained grounds added to the experience. The cabin itself is charming and quaint.

Charming Vintage Cabin

Welcoming cabin with just the right amount of modern updates...nice kitchen with new appliances and a great Weber Grill to cook outside. Property was as described in a lovely wooded area. We enjoy the small beach and the pier was a most pleasant place to sit and enjoy the bay.

Cozy property in wonderful Ephraim

Loved being close to the water and Ephraim, which is such a lovely town. Stairs are steep to the upstairs, which wasn’t a problem for our group. Very quiet. Would like to come back

Overall average

The place was definitely adequate, however there were many amenities lacking or missing for the price. Simple things…. Pizza pan, pots-pans (minimal), zip lock bags, etc. For the price, there really should have been nothing missing. I have stayed in much cheaper places with far more amenities and thoughtful daily needs.
