About this house rental
Welcome to Heritage Harbor House, Residence 1. The greatest amenity is the location, very honestly the best in Door County. The second is the view. Being on the second floor means you have spectacular unobstructed views of the harbor for miles. Imagine sitting around the Great Room/Kitchen’s gathering spot, a 10 foot kitchen counter island with your friends or family sipping coffee after breakfast in a conversation about memories or planning your Door County day all while looking at your magical view of Ephraim’s harbor from the oversized windows in this second floor home. A perfect spot for lazy breakfasts, easy going days and nights full of conversation and family time overlooking the sparkling water.
Once you have had some fun getting-together at the kitchen island you walk a few steps to the Great Room with vaulted ceilings, the fireplace, a flat screen TV, and plenty of seating for your family to relax and enjoy the lovely harbor beyond. When you are not looking at the view you can look at the gas fireplace centered on the spectacular shiplap wall. Overall a very unique, light and bright layout.
You can see the private dock suitable for up to a 21 foot boat from your second floor home. Swimming, pontoon boats, paddle boating, para sailing, kayaking, sailing cruises, and jet skis are all just steps from the dock to rent.
The residence has two bedrooms and a study alcove. One of the bedrooms has an envious view of the water from the queen bed and private bathroom with a tiled shower. The second bedroom views the wooded bluffs with a king bed and a large private bathroom and tiled shower. The study alcove has a desk and two folding beds that can be used comfortably in the alcove or easily elsewhere in the home. Next to the study is a convenient half bath.
And yes the entire residence is new top to bottom… just completed. The owner decorated the home with tremendous attention to detail. Everything is hand picked and reflects the happy and fun Door County lifestyle.
The home offers everything you might possibly need. A kitchen well equipped to whip up favorite family recipes. You’ll find all dishes, glassware, dishwasher dish soap etc., bath towels, toilet paper, hairdryer in each bathroom and more including your own washer and dryer. All linens and clean towels are provided. There is central A/C and of course, the best high speed wireless internet with cable TV. Expect an exceptionally clean house. Many hours are spent cleaning before you arrive to make it just right because that is most important to ensure your comfortable stay.
So the home is new and also happens to be in the best location in Door County. You are next to Wilson’s Ice Cream Parlor viewing Eagle Harbor in Ephraim. You are literally just steps or minutes away from everything Door County has to offer-restaurants, shops, theatre, parks, water or recreation.
After you check in think about:
*Watching the water, reading, relaxing or falling asleep for a nap. *Cook out or Cook in at your private home in the best Door County location right in the center of the Village just steps from kayaking, sailing, the beach.
*Grabbing a cone from that famous White Ice Cream Parlor, Wilson’s which is next door. Savor the nearby best dining locale like Alexanders, Trixies (next door), or Chop.
*Take a short walk along the shore to the Fish Boil for a delicious Door County traditional dinner experience.
*Plan a morning or afternoon hike or bike ride on the best trails in Door County that you can see in Peninsula State Park from the house.
*For wholesome memorable night theater for families or couples take in the Northern Sky Theater or Peninsula Players just minutes from your home.
*Play golf at Peninsula State Park, one of the best courses which you can see across the harbor from the home.
*Visit unique galleries and shops.
Some families or couples will remember the sunset over the bay, others a special purchase from one of the galleries, still others some exhilarating recreational activity, good old fashioned companionship, fine foods, or retiring in a comfortable bed and breathing pure Door County air and just plain relaxing.
We have created everything new for you with this unique residence and the result not only offers newness but also sunny and bright comfort, privacy, quiet and the convenience of being in the best location in the historic Village of Ephraim. Come stay!

Perfect location across from the water. Beautiful sunsets. Public beach just down the road. Old Post office fish boil just down the road. And last but not least Wilson’s is literally right next door.

We had a great time staying here. The view was wonderful, the location was excellent, and everything felt fresh with high-quality finishes. However, the kitchen could be a bit better stocked. Ephraim Shores at its best!"

This is our 3rd summer staying in this lovely home in Ephraim. The location is fantastic. We loved boating and kayaking right across the street, wine on the patio at Pearls, dining next door at The Fashionable and you cannot visit Ephraim, without getting your favorite ice cream at Wilsons right next door. The view from the home is spectacular! We loved cooking in the kitchen, gathering around the amazing counter and enjoyed watching movies in the living room. Everything is even more beautiful than the pictures! Looking forward to another visit next summer!

David and I and our adult son and fiancé had a wonderful time staying at this property - our only wish was we would have wanted to stay longer . There is so much to do I. Door county and wonderful restaurants. Although we ate out most of the time - the kitchen is fabulous for entertaining . The owners communicated everything very well . We will definitely stay here again.

Clean and very nice house. We very much enjoyed staying while in the house. Location great and near docks and restaurants.
Front porch not available to upstairs unit (not disclosed). Not good outdoor options to sit and visit outdoor on the property. Property owners live on site. (Not disclosed) Some might be ok with this but was kind of odd. For price of unit, we would have liked an ice maker in the refrigerator.

Wow, what an absolutely amazing place, we'd rate it even higher than a 5-star if we could! We could easily live here it was so lovely, inside and out! The location is ideal with beautiful lake views and easy access to other towns and destinations. The home is spacious, bright and beautifully decorated and appointed—and most importantly, it was extremely clean and very well cared for—we really appreciated the cleanliness, and the attention to every detail and amenity throughout the home. It’s even more beautiful than the online photos depict. Pride of ownership is apparent, and we appreciate and respect the work the owner has put into creating such a comfortable and welcoming property. Thank you for five perfect nights in your beautiful Ephraim home. We will definitely be back! Already booking for next spring and fall. Can't wait to return!

The unit was spotless!! The beds were super comfy and despite being in the heart of town it was so quiet. We enjoyed the view of the water and the convenience of an in town rental. We were able to walk to back roads and visit “Good Eggs” for coffee, scones and burritos most mornings. One of the best places we’ve stayed at in Door County so far.

Lovely condo in great location! We brought her our 17.5’ boat with us and it fit in the slip well. The location of the slip was ideal. The condo worked really well for our family of 4. That said, we used the alcove with the fold-out twin beds for our 8-year old son. A bigger kid would be too big. We probably won’t be able to return to this property because we will outgrow the sleeping options. The condo has everything you need, is very clean and the location and parking can’t be beat! We wished there was outdoor space for the upstairs unit we were in…we were very envious of the front porch the downstairs unit accessed. All this to say, if you have a small group, I highly recommend this condo!!

We rented the top floor of this well appointed home for our family. The house was better then the pictures, beautifully decorated and immaculate. We watched fireworks from our windows that faced the lake and this house is within walking distance to lots of attractions, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommend!

My husband, two children (6 and 11), and I stayed in this wonderful VRBO for about a week-and-a-half in August. We had the two bedroom, 2.5 bathroom unit upstairs, and it was the perfect space for us. It is very clear that the owners take a lot of pride in this property. The upstairs unit is fully updated (the bathroom photos don't do them justice in the listing). The kitchen island is huge, there are plenty of dishes and utensils, and the living room was clean and inviting. My son's room looked out at the water, which he was thrilled about.
There was plenty of detergent, garbage bags (under the dirty ones in the bottom of the garbage can...didn't realize that until the end!), linens, and toilet paper. When you leave, you just have to take out your garbage (right behind the house), wash your dishes in the dishwasher, and pile your dirty towels on top of the washing machine. The hosts made it very easy to stay there and enjoy our vacation.
The location is perfect walking distance to everything in downtown Ephraim, and Ephraim is a great, central town to be in to drive almost anywhere else in Door County quickly.
Overall, we loved staying in this property, and I highly recommend it for your next vacation.

Outstanding property and location in lovely Ephraim.

This property had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed the many windows facing the lake which is just across the street and the walkability. Beds were great and having three bathrooms was a luxury! Chefs Hat restaurant just down the alleyway was a popular destination for us and Ephraim was perfectly situated between Sister Bay and Fish Creek when we ventured out each day. Our youngest (age 5) happily slept on one of the fold out beds and the place felt very spacious — so many closets and nice wide hallway. I wish that the place offered shampoo and beach towels but those were very small detractors for this amazing place. It greatly exceeded our expectations! We loved it.

This is our 2nd trip to Door County and both times we stayed at this property. We love the views of the water, walkability to restaurants, and the comfortable, updated space at this property. Tim and Nancy are always responsive and thoughtful. Overall, it’s an amazing rental property with an unbelievable location to all Door County has to offer.

Stunning Retreat-Perfect Door County Spot
If you are looking for an ideal setting, this beautifully decorated home is for you. Perfectly clean and very comfortable. we had six adults so my daughter and her husband had the pull outs in the loft area. The home very comfortably accommodates six people- we were in town for a family weeding so having 2.5 baths was extremely helpful when getting ready. I would definitely recommend this home for a Door County stay.

Renovated unit features a generous family room/kitchen with a scenic westward view of the lake. Set just enough off the main road so you don’t hear traffic. Steps away from Trixie’s, Pearl Wine bar, Wilson’s and more. Highly recommend for two couples. There are pullout beds for more which are fine for kids but not so private.

A very nice place and ideal location. The house had comfortable beds, nice showers., and a good library. It could use more kitchen amenities (scissors, more silverware, a tea kettle, blender), and some family games. We were longing to have an outdoor seating area for Unit 1.

Great house, Great Location !
The house and location were perfect. Great view of the bay from the house. The nicest restaurants in Ephraim are just around the corner and the nearby wine bar, brew bar and coffee shop were very enjoyable. Everything was excellent in every way. I will definitely stay again.
