Wonderful!

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!
The perfect location for a family vacation
We truly enjoyed our stay in the Ephraim home. We have been visiting Ephraim for 30+ years and always admired the log cabin at the top of the hill and were delighted when we were able to rent the home for our family's vacation. The location, amenities and spaciousness was perfect for our size family. The adult children had many memories (Wilson's, the beach, Red Putter) from their own Ephraim vacations and wanted to share them with their children and nephews. Besides participating in family activities, my husband and I found time to play golf and relax. John and Margaret, thank you for sharing your home.
Space, location, beauty surrounds
Such a lovely spacious place, only one block slightly uphill from picturesque Ephraim and the water, yet seemingly far away in wooded beauty. We spent much time on the spacious front deck amid the tall cedars. The covered back porch was perfect for rainy days. John and Margaret Maher were gracious and helpful owners. I love this place!
The only reason this is not a 5 star rating is the bathroom situation. Both are very tight. I don't know how that can be rejiggered to get an extra foot or two in each, but it would be worth it.
Wonderful home in Ephraim!
We had a girls weekend with eight girls and enjoyed our stay at this home. The cabin was large, spacious and fully equipped. The location is also excellent! Very convenient to everything -- a short drive or a beautiful walk along the water for coffee and ice cream. We would highly recommend this property for your vacation in Door County! We can't wait to come back.
Great home in Ephraim!
Our family of seven really enjoyed our stay at this property! The cabin is very large and everyone had plenty of space. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked, everything was very clean - I can't think of anything that was missing, everything was taken care of. The location is also fantastic - a quick walk to Wilson's for ice cream, the old Post Office restaurant for a fish boil (or any other meal), the public beach, or any of the nice shops in Ephraim. Although the cabin is only a block away from the "main drag" in town, it felt further away because it is tucked away in a large wooded lot that provided a lot of privacy - we felt the location was the perfect combination of privacy and close proximity to the attractions in town. The cabin also was a great combination of feeling rustic, yet modern, with wi-fi and multiple flat screen TVs. We would highly recommend this property for your vacation in Door County!
Well cared for in a perfect middle-spot for Door County
Our entire stay was fantastic, from beginning to end. The property has obviously been well taken care of through the years. It's nestled in a wooded hill, in a quiet area with occasional church bells. You also get the occasional hiker/jogger through the neighborhood, and everyone is very friendly.
Accommodations were comfortable - we had 6 travelers, and all beds were comfortable. The shared spaces are wide open and comfortable - and CLEAN! Also, we found a stack of games to play in the laundry-closet.
Bring your groceries! There is a nice kitchen - fridge and all the appliances you need (oven, microwave, etc) - and a fantastic weber coal grill (be sure to bring a starter, just in case - they had one on site for us!).
The owners / management are great communicators - we had the impression that they wanted to make sure we were happy.
Great place - competitive rates - thanks Ephraim Lodge!
