Exceptional!

We will be back!
This house is cozy and well kept. Lots of room outside and in. Well stocked with the necessities. The location is great too. Very close to Ephraim and all the other adorable communities. Only wish there was a fire pit out back.
The Maher's home is so beautiful and very welcoming!
We had such a great trip in door county. The Maher's home is so perfectly located, charming clean and comfortable. There were 8 of us there and it was very roomy. Margaret was so helpful with suggestions on restaurants and activities, we had a great time. Will definitely be back!
5 minutes to restaurants, shops and lakefront!
We had a wonderful experience at the cottage. The location is perfect--just a 5 minute walk down to the main road, including the famous Wilson's restaurant/ice cream shop, yet it is still very quiet and peaceful at the cottage. All the character and charm of an old cabin yet beautifully rennovated. The downstairs living space is huge. The bathrooms are small but we found them manageable. Owners were easy to work with, and as it's their own house where they stay sometimes, it is clean, well kept up, and fully stocked with anything you might need, even the kitchen utensils, which we used a couple of times to cook dinner. This was our third annual trip to Door County and was our best lodging choice yet!
Perfect setting for our family gathering!
Had to make a quick change of vacation plans with Hurricane Irma bearing down on our original destination in Hilton Head and the Ephraim house really turned lemons into lemonade! The 6 of us "almost" felt guilty nestled in this great home with so much character. We enjoyed the quiet setting off the main street but still an easy walk to the water, shopping and eats. Ephraim is a short drive north or south to many more towns and we explored them all, especially since the weather was spectacular. This was our second visit to Door County and should we pass this way again we'd stay here for sure.
Another Great Visit
This was our second visit to this home - and it was just as terrific as we remembered it. We had multiple generations sharing the home, and it worked great for everyone. The house is so well maintained and cozy. The location is also great - close to coffee shops, ice cream, restaurants, and the beach.
Lovely Home / Perfect Location
We loved every minute of our stay at this beautiful home. It offers the perfect combination of rustic character and modern amenities. I've stayed at larger homes that feel smaller than this beautiful home, but the Ephraim Lodge is very spacious, light and airy. The deck is so awesome! Can't think of anything I didn't like about it, except that we had to leave.
I ditto all the other review comments except regarding the bathrooms. We (spanning 3 generations from kids to seniors) of all shapes and sizes did not have a problem with the bathrooms.
Thank you so much Margaret and John!
