May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy base for exploring Door County The cabin was clean and cozy and made an excellent home base for exploring Door County over a long weekend. My kids enjoyed the games and toys, and we made use of the fireplace on chilly evenings. The location in Ephraim is excellent - just a 10 minute walk to the local restaurants - and we find this town to be somewhat less crowded yet ideally situated for exploring the Fish Creek, Sister Bay, and Bailey's Harbor triangle. P.S. Ephraim has the most beautiful sunsets! ##### Caroline C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie W.

I had to catch and remove a mouse in the kitchen while the dehumidifier was on continuously the entire week long stay. The furniture was oily old and dirty and the rug had dog hair all over it. Even with dehumidifier on running loudly the towels never dried and the place smelled musty; we had to remove a bathroom mat because it smelled bad. ##### Kim J.

Being already-familiar with the area, we knew this was an exceptional location! Nestled on a quiet drive amidst the beauty of nature, this property is also a quick, easy walk to the beauty and charm of Ephraim, including yummy restaurants, the beach, and the village. The interior is impeccably maintained, with not a speck of dirt on sight. Common living area was comfortable and cozy, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed to feel at home. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable, and bathroom was just what is needed. What was particularly appreciated was the attention to include the little things you might need (shelves by beds, nightlights, labels on switches etc) which made the stay even more enjoyable. Top it off with an idyllic porch and outdoor seating area, and you’ve got perfection! ##### Anne S.
