Fireside North @Ephraim Beach on Ephraim Village Cottages Resort

Thank you so much for your very kind review of your stay at Ephraim Village Cottages in gorgeous Door County, WI. We love that you mentioned our common area and are thrilled that you enjoyed it.

We are always grateful when a guest leaves us a review. It means a lot because the hospitality industry in the tech age is review driven. Thanks for staying James and thank you for a wonderful five star review. SMILES and High Fives.

Thank you Reed for the Recommendation. It was a delight to host you and your lovely family. Many more Happy Anniversaries to you!

Thanks Carol for your review. Glad you stayed. Badger dog was super fluffy and friendly!

Thank you Emma for taking the time to review our property. Text messages stating that you are smiling, that the cottage is nice and cool and clean implied that you were pleased with your cottage. We did not receive any further communication about concerns or disappointments or anything that was not as advertised. For other guests reading this response, we've reached out to Emma to ask what prompted the four star review so we can improve the property for our future guests.

Thank you Laura for your five star review. We appreciate it. You were such a friendly guest with a great personality. It was our pleasure to host you. Thanks for choosing our place.

Thank you Debra for taking the time to review your cottage stay at Ephraim Village Cottages.

Olivia - thank you for taking the time to review. Remember, that when booking through a third party app, the third party app has to make money so they add fees to your stay that your host has no control over and that are not part of a direct rental stay.

Brooke - thank you so very much for a wonderful and comprehensive review of our little slice of Heaven. We are so delighted you enjoyed your stay. We agree that our property is very relaxing and the outdoor spaces are truly a bonus for our guests. Ephraim is the Hallmark village of the Door Peninsula. It's like walking through a movie set. Delighted you enjoyed the opportunity to venture by foot to all that the Village offers. Yes, Fireside North cottage is a bit on the smaller side, but we hope that with all there is to do, you spent most of your vacation stay enjoying Door County and the Ephraim Village Cottages property.

Thanks Daniel for a great review of Ephraim Village Cottages. So glad you had a super clean, comfortable stay in a great location. We agree. The entire place is quite pleasant!

Craig. Thank you a million times over for taking the time to review our property and cottage. We are grateful for 5 stars and that you mentioned how clean and maintained the property is. Many many thanks!

Diane. Thanks for taking the time to review. Yes. We are definitely a walkable village. Park the car and enjoy all things Ephraim! Hope to see you again soon!

Christina. It was a delight to watch the kids play in the yard and reading your review brought a smile to our face. LOVE LOVE LOVE when our guests have a fantastic time and take in all that Ephraim has to offer. So happy you stayed.

Hi Scott and thank you for a 5 star review which we are so very grateful for. I wish we could do something about the living space size but if you can imagine, the first floor use to be the entire unit including a bedroom. Our family added the second story to give it more room. But we understand it is still a cozy fit for guests. So glad you stayed with us. We are changing the decor inside the cottage, some of the furniture, and renaming it to Fireside North. Come back and stay! Hope to host you again.

Thank you Peter for choosing to stay at Ephraim Village Cottages. Glad you found your check-in and check-out easy, fast and without hassle. Hope you made Door County memories that last a lifetime.

Ashley - we love your review so much we just shared it on our facebook page. Thank you for painting a wonderful picture of your stay with us. So glad the girls loved the coloring bucket. We love it too!!

It was so great to meet you and to host you. Thanks for the super wonderful review and for noting the cleanliness. Ephraim Village Cottages is great for a short or long stay and most definitely the perfect say for a first time visit in Door County. Our property is an original going back 3 generations. So glad you stayed.

How does a host even begin to express our gratefulness for this amazingly friendly, wonderful, awesome guest? Angela and her family are simply the best. So happy they stayed with us. And were so kind to share pictures of making Door County memories that last a lifetime with us. Super spectacular people. Looking forward to their next stay!

Thank you Ellsworth for your 5 star review. We really appreciate it. Our 10 cottages are primarily booked direct by guests, however, we have a few of them on third party platforms like VRBO and one other. Unfortunately, the third party platforms pull our "information" from our direct booking platform and sends it to VRBO guests and we have no way to stop it. That is why, on the direct booking platform messages, we ask guests to please follow information sent through the booking platform you used. We do not have a window A/C unit in the one bedroom because that is the window that the fire escape ladder (kept in the bureau) would use if needed. That window does not have a storm window on it so it can be opened all day/night if a guest wanted. We provide fans in all rooms and we leave the A/C on in our cottages so all cottages are cooled down prior to a guests arrival. Removing all wall decor does not make sense. Not sure why you would suggest that we leave plain walls in our guest cottages. We are working on changing our towel bars in the cottages but have more pressing repairs and upgrades on the 3 acre property with 10 cottages that was neglected for 14 years before we bought in 2020. We are glad you had a great experience.

Lily - it was a delight to host your family. Thanks for the comprehensive review. We are so grateful when guests take the time to review our property and share their stay experience with future guests looking for a place to stay in Door County.
