About this property

Northwind Cottage #1, Families and dogs welcome! Walk to the village and the beach!

Nestled in the cedars, our pet friendly log cottage offers a peaceful retreat, and at the same time, a convenient home base for exploring all that Door County has to offer. We think you’ll love the rustic Northwoods vibe!

The cottage is located just a short walk from the waterfront, public beach, and the charming village of Ephraim. Take a sunset sail, go for a carriage ride, step into the past on a historical tour, or simply take a leisurely stroll on the back roads. As for food and drink, Ephraim Coffee Lab, Good Eggs, The Fashionable, Pearl Wine Bar and Wilson’s famous ice cream parlor are all nearby. Peninsula State Park is within biking distance. And of course, just a little further afield, opportunities abound for hiking, exploring nature, golfing, boating, checking out the galleries or taking in a show. Whatever your plans, we hope that you find our cottages to be a welcoming home away from home!

Northwind Cottage #1 has a fully furnished kitchen with a table for 4, a dining area with seating for 8, a wood burning fireplace, and a living area perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. The cottage also has a charcoal grill, a small screened porch, picnic tables and a hammock in the backyard. The cottage is serviced by cable TV and wireless internet.

Northwind Cottage #1 is adjacent to Northwind Cottages #2 and #3. Not only can each cottage be rented out individually, but they are also perfect for larger family gatherings, accommodating up to 18 people total, when renting all three together.

1-2 dogs are permitted. Dogs must not be left alone in the cottage. $100 pet fee per reservation (includes 1-2 dogs).

About the host

Hosted by Alison or Jerri

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Alison and I am a 6th generation descendant of one of the original settlers in Ephraim, Ole Larsen, who came over from Norway in the 1850s. I spent every summer of my childhood in Ephraim and have always held these memories close. I moved to Door County in 2010 with my husband and we each now own our own small business in the area. We also have a young son and old dog to keep us busy. My brother and I purchased the Northwind Cottages as a means to protect the area from further development. We are excited to share our love of Door County and Ephraim with our guests and are happy that other families can build traditions like our own. My husband Simon and I are here to help you have a fantastic vacation.

Why they chose this property

We love Northwind Cottage #1 because it is very similar to our great grandfather's nearby log cabin where we spent our childhood. The cottage has rustic charm and is located in the woods yet close to all of the activities Door County has to offer. Delicious food & drink, parks, free music, boat rentals, the beach and amazing sunsets are all within walking distance. This lovely Ephraim vacation cabin will provide a sense of tranquility and leave you feeling refreshed!

What makes this property unique

There's nothing like curling up in a log cabin playing games next to a roaring fire or having an evening meal outside listening to the sounds of nature. At Northwind #1 you can take a step back and relax into a simpler life but when you're ready for some action or adventure, you will be close to all that Northern Door County has to offer.
