Kathy’s house was clean, well stocked, and located in a lovely Door County setting. Kathy was friendly and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property.

We loved the cottage, which came equipped with everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. Handy and useful tips posted throughout the property helped us to know what switches to use and how to use various appliances. We also genuinely appreciated the basket of chargers, reading glasses, and paraphernalia left on the counter for guest's use -- saved us an awkward charging problem for sure.
A+ location, would stay again.

House was great. Very comfortable located on a wooded lot. Lots of spaces to sit and chat. House and kitchen were well furnished. Two thumbs up!

We had a wonderful time at our stay in Efraim. It was perfect for our family - had toys for the small chid and a yard to run around in, and we were were able to grill and spread out. And we were a 5-10 min walk from the beach, which was even better!
4.8
Extremely clean and well stocked. In very good shape. Yard is very nice to grill and play yard games. Bunks are small for full-sized adults. Master bedroom bed very comfortable. Had a glitch with getting the access code, but host very apologetic and accommodating. Great place!

The house lived up to its name! It was a very cozy cottage. It was comfortable, clean, and in a great location. The cottage was well furnished, and communications with the host were very good.

If you have been to Door County, then you know location is key. It’s a great location just off the main drag in Ephraim. Advertised accurately, plenty of beds… It was a great layout for a girls’ trip and would be for a family as well.

My wife and I wanted to take my Mom on a trip to Door County. We've been a few times but knew that she'd love the experience. So, we scheduled a trip staying in Ephraim for four nights.
The biggest plus for this cottage is the location. It's on a very quiet street surrounded by trees. While quiet, it is also very conveniently located to the town of Ephraim, the beach at Ephraim and hiking/golfing at Peninsula State Park (about 1 mile away). We highly recommend the breakfast burritos at Good Eggs. It's an easy walk from the cottage and they are wonderful! We also had breakfast on the patio at The Old Post Office in Ephraim with spectacular views of the water. The cherry pancakes are great!
The cottage is very clean and well maintained. We made good use of the deck out back for our morning coffee. A deer joined us briefly out back on the night we arrived. It was a great place to have as our home base as we explored Door County.
Peninsula State Park is beautiful with a lot of trails along the water. We hit a few wineries/breweries in the area as well. All were an easy drive from Ephraim. Washington Island and Baileys Harbor were very nice. Of course, we had to also do a fish boil in Fish Creek. The fish tastes much better than you might think and cherry pie for dessert!
We'd definitely recommend staying here based on the quiet neighborhood and the proximity to so many of the gems of Door County.

This property is pleasantly secluded, yet close to everything Ephraim has to offer. The home is comfortably large for a modest family and has all the amenities you might need for your stay.

Comfortable convenience in Door County
We had everything we needed at this house. Everything was clearly labeled and explained and was located moments away from all of Door County’s highlights - Peninsula State Park, restaurants, orchards, wineries... we had everything we needed! Also looked very kid friendly with toys, high chairs, and kitchen utensils for young ones.

Wonderful Property
This property is in a great location, and the owner has provided everything you could possibly want or need during your stay. We will absolutely rent this property again if we get back to Door County.

Relaxing and comfortable
Had a great time at the rental house. House is well cared for and provides everything we needed to be our basecamp in DC. Thank you!

The house is bright and very private. The kitchen is well set up for any cooking that you might want to do. We made good use of the outdoor grill, which was clean and worked well. The Ephraim location is centrally located on the Bay shore and makes it easy to visit many of the sites Door County has to offer.

Absolutely wonderful stay. I stayed here with my husband, and my 3 and 7 year old boys. The house was immaculate, well-stocked in every respect, and so well-thought out. You can tell the owner has been doing this a while and knows exactly how to make a guest feel at home. I kept saying it feels like visiting grandma's house and knowing exactly where everything is and knowing she thought of stocking every possible thing you would need during your stay.
Anything you can think of kitchen utensil-wise was available, even condiments were stocked in the fridge. Flashlights were provided, there was an emergency first aid kit and ear plugs, etc. Almost anything you can think of that you might forget while packing was provided just in case. Every single switch is labeled so it's easy to figure out how everything in the house works.
As far as kid-friendly goes, I can't think of another place we've stayed that was more family/child friendly. There were games for all ages, a high chair and pack and play (neither of which we used, but it was nice that it's provided), DVDs and videos of family friendly movies, and the back deck (which is a great size!) has a large bin full of back yard games for the kids to play. There was a little propane fire pit with folding chairs that we used almost every evening, and the back yard is HUGE! My kids thoroughly enjoyed playing out there.
I had the impression from the photos that it was a tiny cottage, but the name "cozy" only refers to how at home and comfortable you will feel. The house itself is spacious and open and so clean.
One tiny word to the wise regarding the bunk bed ... My 7 year old sleeps in a top bunk at home, however the one at this house is definitely not one I would recommend for a child of that age. It's a little wobbly, and tall, and the railing is not positioned in a way that makes sense compared to how the bed is made. I tried to think of a way that would let my son feel safe while sleeping on it, but in the end he just slept in one of the regular twin beds in a different bedroom. An older child or teen would probably do fine on the top bunk.
Otherwise, all the stars, all the positive comments, etc. are well deserved, and I will recommend this property to all the families I know who are traveling to Door County!

We had a wonderful weekend away! This house had everything you needed or thought you might need! Open, spacious and with lots of natural lighting all set back in a wooded neighborhood for privacy. Great place to reconnect with family and moments away from all the fun Door county has to offer.

This well-appointed house was perfect for our family reunion in Door County for a memorial service. We could walk into the village to meet others easily and found it very peaceful and quiet. There were so many amenities available like movies, books, board games, etc. that we didn't have time to use but appreciated nonetheless. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it was great to have a washer'dryer. What a find!

Perfect home for my family in Door County!
We were so pleased with everything about the house. It was perfect for the five of us. My parents could not believe how clean and comfortable the house was. We also loved all of the person touches that made it so homey such as the reading glasses in the basket in the kitchen! The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything we needed, and the location is perfect! We would definitely stay here again!

Girls weekend
The house was clean, very cute, and great location. However, the internet or cable wasn't working for the first 2 days. Nobody could get service on their phone due to this. Although we appreciate the level of service to accommodate us as guests, we were taken aback by the frequency of unplanned/planned visits that made us feel uncomfortable. Especially a time we came back from a day of shopping and found Kathy inside the house. She told us this was because she was waiting for the cable guy, but we would have appreciated it if she would have coordinated or communicated this better. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Very nice house and a great location.
Just a block off the Main Street. Being off the main road means it is very quiet and private. Just a great location if you want to spend some time in Door county. Fully equipped house with all the amenities of home. The whole place feels like it was recently renovated and is picture perfect. Lovely deck. Comfy furniture. And the high speed internet is truly high speed.

This place has everything
This was a wonderful home for a family with young children. It had everything you would ever need. High chairs, pack & play, toys, dishes, potty seat, movies, etc.
The home was amazingly clean, spacious and very comfortable. It is in a quiet and great location. I am recommending it to everyone I know.

Charming, great location, very practical
We had an excellent vacation! Our family of four, with two small children, vacationed with my parents. The property was absolutely perfect for our use. The lawn and deck were great for the kids, and we loved that there were toys and "kid stuff" already at the property. We all slept great and loved the big kitchen and dining area.
