About this house rental

"Birch" is a private retreat, part of a lovely cottage hidden behind an ornate garden gate; It is a cozy and comfortable private apartment for 2-4 guests comprising of two large and well-appointed rooms with modern touches within a ridiculously charming Door County setting! The "Green Gables" the property in which it is set, is a picturesque spot in the north part of Ephraim, with its own beautiful award-winning gardens, and is within easy walking distance to galleries, shops, mini-golf, breakfast and pizza, or a short drive from Ephraim village and the water. "Birch" gets lots of natural light from a large picture window at the front and from a sliding patio door at the back, which opens onto a small garden area with summery flowers. There's plenty of more open green space outdoors and around the Green Gables property. One large room has an elegant King bed, while the living room has a true Queen sofa-bed. The living room has a large and attractive library of books plus a 49" TV (with cable, Netflix, and Amazon Prime). All the bedding is non-allergenic. There is a very spacious walk-in shower enclosure within an ensuite bathroom. The apartment also is equipped with modest kitchenette facilities consisting of a microwave, fridge, toaster, coffeemaker and simple tableware/utensils. A contemporary dining table and four chairs completes the apartment, a lovely place to unwind and from which to explore Door County. In response to COVID-19, cleaning and sanitizing will be thoroughly undertaken, and guests are asked and to be ready to put on masks just when entering and exiting the building. Thank you!

If this unit is rented, please consider the neighboring (and again, private) larger unit, VRBO #1658362. For larger parties, booking both units at once provides for an amazing family experience.

As of Spring 2022, GREEN GABLES now has TWO OTHER great vacation rentals set within the same gorgeous acre and a half of lush gardens! Please visit the other two listings...

Brand new VRBO listing 2724012 is a spacious gorgeous home with full kitchen for 2-4, and VRBO listing 2798225 is a stunning romantic lodge-style retreat that is truly special. Ideal for a couple, though there's also a sofa bed too. Please do check them out! Green Gables is GROWING (both in the garden, and in great places to stay....!)

Spent the weekend in Door County with a friend. The communication with Colin prior to arrival was excellent along with maps and directions. The place was very clean and decorated super cute. Plenty of space for the 2 of us. Shame on me for not realizing the unit doesn’t have a kitchen but enough to get by for a few days. My only suggestions are a couple wine glasses and a fridge with a separate freezer compartment for ice. We had to buy ice for our happy hour cocktails. Ephraim is centrally located to many of the other towns and a short ride to Sister Bay.

My spouse and I stayed 1 week during July. Host, Colin, is delightful and very responsive. The Birch unit is wonderfully located and is spacious with a comfortable bed, plenty of hot water in the shower, lots of storage space, reliable wifi, a mini-fridge, microwave & Keurig coffee maker. The living area has a large TV with Netflix & HULU available. We found it a little odd that the eating table & chairs was next to the bed and that we had to wash dishes in the bathroom sink, but it was workable. There is an upstairs unit that we were unaware of, and they have control of the thermostat. However, we could make some heat/AC adjustments to offset the upstairs settings. Unfortunately, as 'city kids' we like to enjoy the cool, quiet Door County nights but were unable to keep our patio door open because a very loud AC condenser unit was right outside. Overall, it worked for us and we would book this property again.

Lovely home, very well appointed and maintained- we found Birch Retreat to be the perfect place to begin & end our 5-night in Door County. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and highly recommend it!

Nice, comfortable property but stay was diminished by water condensation on living room window, limited view and musty odor in both rooms -won’t stay again and would avoid if you have mold allergies

We had an enjoyable stay at The Birch. It was clean and had everything we needed for the few days we were in Door County. Door County never disappoints!

My husband and I stayed at The Birch in Ephriam. The setting was so beautiful with lovely gardens welcoming the guests through the gates/arbor covered with lush, green Virginia Creeper vines (which turn a brilliant red in fall. Easy access to both the rental and WiFi. A binder, provided by the host, contains everything you need to know about this lovely space. The rooms are large and impeccably clean.
