Beautiful Spacious Ephraim Home Private 1.5 Acres Waterview
Come and enjoy the Hobby Horse Cottage. Let it be your home away from home. We are nestled on a partially wooded lot overlooking stunning Eagle Harbor. Let our privately owned/operated home be your escape to peace and tranquility. This beautifully furnished home has everything you need: a large fully equipped eat-in-kitchen with granite countertops, a spacious living room to curl up and read a book, watch cable TV, DVD or hook up your computer with the free WiFi. There are plenty of books to choose from and games for the kids. Browse through the collection of brochures, great for planning the day’s adventures.The separate dining room has a large table for family gatherings or use it to play cards or games.
The downstairs bedroom hosts a queen bed with a full en suite bathroom. Upstairs there are three sun filled bedrooms and another bathroom. Each of these bedrooms have a large picture window either overlooking the bay or woods. One has a queen bed and the others have 2 twin beds in each room.
Outside, the large deck overlooks the serene backyard, complete with table, chairs and umbrella. Relax out on the deck after a busy day or enjoy some coffee while watching the deer stroll through the yard. At night, light up the tiki torches and fire up the grill for a great evening under the stars.
We are conveniently located to Peninsula State Park, the beach and South Shore Pier where you can rent pontoon boats, wave runners or paddle boats. It's only a 5 minute stroll to the Harbourside Park which features Monday night concerts and a playground for the kids. Our pet-friendly cottage sleeps up to 8 people comfortably, with plenty of room for your furry friends as well. Located just above downtown Ephraim’s Historic District, our cottage is within walking distance of all local attractions including art galleries, gift shops and the famous Wilson's Ice Cream Parlor. Root Beer float, anyone?

This property has been in our family since 1908 and the house was moved there in the early 1940s. My Mom had a gift shop in it called the “Hobby Horse”, after she closed it, it was our summer home for many years until we began renting it out in 1973. My Great-Great Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and Grandparents were all In the tourist rooming business in Ephraim.
We have strived hard to maintain the charm and character of this home. We love Door County and Ephraim and live just a few minutes away so we are always available.
