Excellent location for fun Door County Experience!

This was our second stay in the Guest House. Everything was spotless and the owners are attentive and helpful. We had a group of 4 "seniors" and the location was perfect as a base for visiting all parts of Door County.

Loved our stay! Really appreciated the no/low fragrance use by the cleaning crew. Really cute cottage that was clean and comfortable! For dietary reasons, my husband and I cook our own food, which was easily done in the kitchen. Loved the back porch for morning coffee and breakfast! Would stay here again if we're back in the area.

This cozy retreat in Ephraim is perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway, located just off Hwy 42 in a quiet area, yet within close proximity to various shops and restaurants, with Peninsula State Park nearby. Having returned here for four consecutive years, we have always been impressed with our stay. Randy and Elizabeth, our hosts, are outstanding and very responsive to our inquiries. We highly recommended that you check out Harbor House Cottage if you are looking for a place to stay while in Door County.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Harbor House cottage this summer. The location of this home could not be more perfect to get almost anywhere in Door County. The local beach was the best around and so clean/calm. We would stay in this home again without hesitation. This home was clean and well stocked for a lovely trip!

Why they chose this property

The Harbor House Guest Cottage is the perfect spot to enjoy all that Door County has to offer. With access to our private beach (located 100 yards away), our cottage is tucked away on a quiet street on the edge of the forest in the beautiful village of Ephraim. At Harbor House, you're away from it all - yet easily in the heart of everything. Shops, beaches and restaurants in Ephraim are walkable from the cottage. And all of the major attractions of Door County are just a short drive or bike ride away.

What makes this property unique

Here's what others have said about their time staying at the Harbor House Guest Cottage:

5 stars - Secluded, yet in the middle of everything you want to do!
The cottage cabin was very clean, and very homey. We loved the board games to play and being able to cook our own food. Would recommend for a nice time with family. Love that you can rent both house and cottage if desired. Great family set up. -- Shelby G. 5 stars - Wonderful! My husband and I stayed at the Harbor House Guest Cottage for a few days recently and we had a wonderful time! The cottage was clean, conveniently located and the owners were friendly and so easy to work with. We will definitely be back! -- Christy M. 5 stars - Wonderful! We stayed at this sweet little cottage with our 4 children ages: 6, 4, 2 and 2 months along with our nanny. It was perfect. It sits behind the larger Harbor House that you share a bunch of kayaks with. We brought out the kayak one day and it was a highlight for our kids at the beach. The swing and the fire pit was perfect as well. I loved the sweet style of the cabin working with the owners was so easy. Thank you so much for having us! -- Karly 5 stars - Perfect cottage in a perfect location! I recently brought my adult children, their spouses and my grandchild to Door County and stayed in the Harbor House Guest Cottage. This cute, comfy cottage was even more spacious than we imagined – a perfect retreat for our family of all ages! We loved sitting on the screened-in back porch, nestled near the trees and raspberry bushes, and being entertained by the beautiful birds who came each day as we had our morning coffee. This porch was also a perfect spot for our family dinners every evening. My son loved the nautical prints of Door County that the owners have on the walls. And there was plenty of open space in front of the cottage for playing games and relaxing. The firepit was perfect as well. -- Cathy
