We had a wonderful stay. The hosts are amazing and made wonderful recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Even volunteered to make reservations for us. The house is beautiful, modern, but also cozy. It’s large so if you have a big group you can spread out easily. There is a nice deck area and fire pit set up, too! It was beautiful to watch the snow fall while cozied up to the gas fireplace. The master suite is stunning. Clean, crisp sheets and bedding, spotless master bath, and a closet to hide away all your luggage and hang up your clothes. My pants and socks got damp out in the snow at the Christmas market, and the in house washer and dryer allowed me to dry my pants before going to dinner. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and heat up leftovers. The coffee bar area is adorable, and we got a lot of use out of it. The house is very clean, well decorated, and safe and secure. We used the august app for entry for the first time without any issues. Knowing I could lock and unlock from my phone made me feel safe. We saw several deer on the property which just added to our magical winter weekend. The wooded lot provides a lot of privacy. The house is in a great location, so walking(when it’s a little warmer out), to the water would be super easy, even to Wilson’s for a sundae! We really enjoyed our stay, and we look forward to coming back again in the summer!

Ephraim house is the perfect get away! The house is impeccably finished. Clean. A perfect modern cozy. The house is right by where you want to be when you visit door county. We can not wait to go back!!

Erin and John were unbelievably gracious hosts. You can tell they truly care about their guests and want to provide the best experience possible. Their home in Ephraim is stunning. The house provides Al everything you could possibly want…from location, cleanliness, amenities.

We delight in having stayed in this beautiful spacious home. It is so welcoming and comfortable. The hosts went out of our way to assist us with our discovery of the area. Clearly well versed in the history and offerings of Door County. We really appreciated their recommendations for evening dining. Alexander’s was excellent. The House being nestled in this tranquil setting affords an opportunity to relax, yet is conveniently located to all the offerings of Ephraim and all of Door County for that matter. An ideal place for friends or families to share and make lasting memories. The Ephraim House is our new favorite place for our family to gather. We will be back!

The Ephraim House was absolutely wonderful. My brothers and sisters and their spouses, a party of five couples stayed in roomy comfort and luxury. The home is quite new and immaculately clean. Everything in the photos and promised amenities were spot on. We had an outstanding stay and would not hesitate to return. Erin was a marvelous host with an eagerness and willingness to help. Every question or concern I sent Erin was answered within 3-5 minutes. Secluded and private in a beautiful wooded setting I give the Ephraim House my absolute highest recommendation. Go and enjoy !!!!

We had an amazing time at the Ephraim House! Erin was awesome in staying in touch and responding instantaneously to any questions/concerns! The property was very clean, modern, and had all amenities anyone may need. We had a great time! Thanks again for hosting us!

We cannot say enough amazing things about our stay at the Ephraim House (still trying to rewind time to go back)! Erin was more than accommodating in helping us book the stay, navigating the beautiful home, and providing awesome suggestions on sites to see, entertainment, and all things food/drink. The house is absolutely stunning, cozy, and functional - exploring it and the outdoors surrounding it made the trip even more special and memorable. We will absolutely be making a trip back in the future. Thanks Erin for being so wonderful and making our long weekend away incredible!

Oh my! Where to start! Such a lovely property and very well maintained. Host Erin was very communicative with a quick response when we had questions. Check in and out were easy. The kitchen is a dream to cook in. The kiddos loved the bunk room. Wished it were a bit warmer to enjoy the outdoor firepit. Bedding was comfortable. A wonderful stay and we would be back again!

We enjoyed the board games, great meals as each family took a turn, plenty of cookware and refrigerator space. Kids 10 and under played downstairs where large bean bags were the main attraction along with video games. We were all delighted with the home. Sledding at Peninsula State Park was so much fun for all. Loved the garage!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at The Ephraim House. The owners helped us before we even arrived by giving us suggestions of where we explore during our stay. We had 3 families and had ample space to spread out. When we arrived we were taken care of completely! The house was immaculately clean and stocked with anything you could imagine. We would definitely come again! Thanks for making our winter vacation so enjoyable!!

The house is new, clean and beautiful and in a great location to enjoy all of Door County. Owners are amazing and extremely responsive. We will be back!

We really enjoyed staying at the Ephraim House. The house is incredible and Erin and John are wonderful hosts. You can't beat the location. You can easily walk to downtown Ephraim and enjoy the restaurants and Wilson's ice cream. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. We took advantage of the bikes that are available at the house, and we especially enjoyed the new fire table on the deck. The kitchen has everything you could need. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

The Ephraim House is beautiful as well as impeccably clean. It is evident that John and Erin gave much thought into planning a perfect vacation home for others to enjoy. Erin is a 5 star host, was always available to answer concerns and questions. Her responses were usually immediate. During our stay she continued to inform us of special events happening in the village of Ephraim that we may not have been aware of. Erin made every effort to help us have a very memorable Door County experience.

The open-concept living area is spacious, inviting and comfortable. Our group of 13 had ample room to gather for meals, to visit and even complete a few puzzles on the extra large dining table!

The kitchen is outfitted with everything you could possibly need or want. Dinnerware and glassware is abundant. We even found insulated tumblers that came in handy while enjoying the fire pit in the evening. (We were grateful for the generous supply of fire wood too!) The large beverage frig under the island is a nice bonus! The walk-in pantry has many small kitchen appliances and there was space for all our shelf-stable food purchases.

The lower level is a great kid-friendly space. The bunk room was definitely a hit with the little ones and the additional gathering space was ideal for playing or watching movies. For those traveling with babies or toddlers, Erin and John have you covered. There are 2 high chairs and 3 port-a-cribs. We used a high chair and a crib thus grateful that we didn’t need to bring them from home.

Our vacation was perfect and yours can be too! I highly recommend The Ephraim House!

Everything was fantastic. The house was exceptional and Erin is the best! Awesome communication throughout the process and stay. Everything on the house is very well thought out and made the stay even more enjoyable.

Looking forward to our return visit!

We had a delightful time staying at the Ephraim House. It is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures online. Everything is brand new and the hosts have considered everything to make our visit feel like home. They made the check in process absolutely seamless and answered every question we had immediately. It is hard to imagine better hosts!

The house itself is nestled in the woods and very quiet but is also just a very short walk from Ephraim beach and from the town. It has everything needed to enjoy the lake and Door County -- a kayak, paddleboards, bikes, and a beautiful fire pit right outside. We loved our time and hope to stay again next summer!

Erin is the best VRBO hostess that we have ever had!!! The home is so beautiful and perfect for families. Communication with Erin was easy and our stay was perfect. We absolutely LOVED it.

Perfect house, host and location. Everything we need in a great location!! Best VRBO stay ever.

Beautiful property. Erin was fantastic, and always available to connect with for information about the home and area. We had everything would could have needed and more. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Ephraim House for four nights and it was just terrific!! The house itself is gorgeous, the property is private yet very convenient to the main parts of Ephraim. Within walking distance of Wilson’s, the beach, etc!

Everything is high end and Erin the host is so great! I can’t say enough about the rental property or her!

The attention to detail and preparation of thinking through any and all needs that these property owners took is remarkable! The kitchen is well equipped with a fabulous stove! We used the grill to make steaks and that was wonderful. Also the fire table and additional fire pit both make the experience wonderful.

We had 7 people (grandparents down to a 3 year old) and there was more than enough space for all. This is the perfect home for entertaining! My in-laws and mom all loved the property. In addition to the deck, there is a front porch with chairs to enjoy your morning coffee!

There were outdoor toys available (large scale checkers, bean bag boards, etc) and a wagon available to use which my kids loved!

We had a wonderful time and you cannot go wrong renting this property. It was absolutely wonderful and we hope to return soon!

What can we say: Erin was essentially the perfect 24/7 concierge giving us wonderful insight to the property and all that Door County has to offer. Her home is beautiful, well appointed and was the perfect setting for our family to come together and wind down.

We will DEFINITELY be staying here again!!!

Wow! My last minute birthday celebration was unforgettable because Erin and John's home, hospitality, warm welcome, and helpful Door County recommendations were amazing. The home is the perfect place for family and friends to gather and enjoy the magic of time together. The house looks brand new, the beds were very comfortable, the entertainment options and tvs were easy to figure out and use. The kitchen is gourmet and fitted out with everything you need. Easy central location and my favorite thing was the privacy of being surrounded by beautiful forest of trees. Definitely going back and highly recommend to anyone wanting a first class, premier, concierge-feeling experience!

Erin & John’s beautiful home was the perfect spot for our girls weekend! The house was extremely clean and every detail was beautiful. They even suggested things for us to do during our stay! We cannot wait to come up again next year!

The house is gorgeous, comfortable and spacious. The pictures don't lie! Our party included 8 adults and 7 children, ages 1 to 10. We did not feel crammed at all. The kids really loved the bunk beds! And it was well stocked with every imaginable appliance, dish, pot & pan, utensils, etc. We even had a chance to use a couple of the bikes that were available in the garage. Plenty of high chairs & pack-n-plays. I could go on!

The location is perfect. Within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and the harbor.

Erin was a great host. When I mentioned there was no child gate for the top of the stairs she told me to pick one up at the local store and she would reimburse me, which she did!

We would definitely stay here again!

Big, beautiful house so close to everything!

This lovely home was the perfect setting to reconnect with friends and family. A quiet setting with easy access to all the action. The home is spacious with many wonderful amenities. Highly recommend.

Erin and John are the kindest, most responsive, owners dedicated to your stay while at The Ephraim house. They were so thoughtful and kind and so informative. Quick to answer questions. The house was definitely built with love and every single detail was thought out! Although October was too chilly to enjoy the bikes and kayaks, they were available as well as yard games....truly so giving with what they have in home. Chargers in each room, a charging station for all kinds of devises, tons of dinnerware. We ate all meals and fed 14 people for 3 days and had everything needed. Space was so very well planned out so everyone has area to relax yet enjoy privacy. It really was a perfect stay and so close to wonderful attractions and very easy to access. I will be back to stay. There should be absolutely no hesitation in booking this property!!

The Ephraim House will live in our hearts as the most perfect place to celebrate our intimate micro wedding week in Door County! We were a group of 15 including our teen and adult children (including adult significant others) and our parents. The house is new, sparkling clean, and has many extra features including a fully stocked gourmet kitchen for entertaining, fire pit, hot tub, fire table on the spacious deck, and luxurious living quarters. The great room and family room were very flexible and accommodated our group at all times of the day. The interior decor and beautiful light within the house is extraordinary. Nestled just a few blocks from the Ephraim waterfront, our group could bike or walk to the shops and beach with ease yet the house was very quiet at night. The stars were bright sitting out by the bon fire in the beautiful Adirondack chairs while we sipped hot apple cider and shared many stories.

Erin and John were very easy to reach out to and Erin assisted with any questions we had while coordinating our special day. She checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and provided all the directions necessary to ensure our stay went seamlessly.

Our family will remember The Ephraim House fondly and we hope to plan return with our family. Many thanks to Erin and John!

Seriously, look no further. Erin is an incredible host. The place is absolutely stunning and a great location to enjoy all the door county has to offer!! I even left a shoe that she found and is willing to ship it home to me. She is exceptional at communication and goes above and beyond.

Everything about this stay was effortless and absolutely perfect. We had 14 women for a girl's weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Plus, HOT TUB!

Wow! We can’t say enough positive things about our stay! The property is beautiful, clean, and perfectly located. Erin and John are the most gracious and wonderful hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone!!!

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.

Great place to stay. Great communication, very clean house, fantastic location close to town. They thought of everything, from extra toiletries, plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen, board games, bikes, out door games, pack and plays, high chairs. Would for sure stay agin and recommend to anyone.

This is a spectacular home! So clean and beautiful. Stunning!

The owners are so very helpful!

So glad we came here!

This house is really lovely. It is walking distance to town yet set back enough to feel private. The house is beautifully appointed, comfortable for a large group with a well equipped kitchen. The house can comfortably accommodate infants to grandparents and we spent a truly memorable Thanksgiving holiday there. Thank you!!!!

Amazing place, very nice and helpful owners

Everything is super nice, super clean, wonderful house overall

Yes we would come back again!

Absolutely loved every minute of our time. The house is beautiful and the hosts were there for our accommodations every step of the way. Very easy walk to the Water Street in Ephraim. Will definitely come back again! 5 Stars!!!

Beautiful house with gorgeous accommodations. The hot tub was wonderful and fun for our group!
