About this property

Family friendly ranch retreat only minutes from the heart of Ephraim

This unique ranch retreat boasts 2600 square feet of second floor farm style living space, nestled in 29 acres of private meadow. Visitors enjoy the wonderful breeze in the large 2nd story great room/kitchen area with scenic views of the countryside throughout. Although located only 6 minutes from downtown Ephraim and the beach, this home offers amazing privacy with its' own walking trails, large outdoor covered decks and patios with furniture, fire pit, large 2nd story deck, and plenty of activities for the kids including a trampoline, tether ball, slide off the second story and a ping pong table in the stable. The home is also ideal for hosting large gatherings either outdoors on the covered and non covered patios, or in the first floor stable area or in the 2nd floor great room.

The master bedroom has a king size bed and faces south with sweeping views of a meadow and a master bath. Across the hallway is a queen size room with a private full bath. The home also has two guest bedrooms, both with two twin beds that share a hallway bathroom.

For the 2026 season, we have added a beautiful covered porch on the south side of the building, a bluestone patio with fire pit, and a restroom in the stable area as well as a bar complete with running water and a refrigerator.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Randy

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed Door County and the Ephraim area for over 50 years and we live in Ephraim six months a year. We purchased the ranch in December as we fell in love with the property and the unique setting. We look forward to sharing with friends, family and guests for years to come.

Why they chose this property

Our home is very close to downtown Ephraim and all that it offers but at the same time, it is very remote and quiet. There is minimal traffic on Pioneer Road and the prairie views from the house and throughout the property are beautiful. It is one of most private and scenic country rentals in Door County.

What makes this property unique

Our guests enjoy a beautiful new home with comfortable linens and beds, a large full kitchen with plenty of cookware and serving pieces, and three new bathrooms. The dining room seats 8 to 10 comfortably in the open floor plan great room. Additionally, there is comfortable dining seating for 8 on the 2nd story deck where you can dine and watch the sunset over the meadow and corrals enjoying the incredible peace and quiet. There are walking trails throughout the property as well as fun games in the stables for kids and adults including ping pong and cornhole. There is also a fun slide from the second story on the east edge of the house.
