About this property

Nestled in the cedars, our pet friendly log cottage offers a peaceful retreat, and at the same time, a convenient home base for exploring all that Door County has to offer. We think you’ll love the rustic northwoods vibe. The cottage is located just a short walk from the waterfront, public beach, and the charming village of Ephraim. Take a sunset sail, go for a carriage ride, step into the past on a historical tour, or simply take a leisurely stroll on the back roads. As for food and drink, Ephraim Coffee Lab, Good Eggs, Trixie’s, Pearl Wine Bar and Wilson’s famous ice cream parlor are all nearby. Peninsula State Park is within biking distance. And of course, just a little further afield, opportunities abound for hiking, exploring nature, golfing, boating, checking out the galleries or taking in a show. Whatever your plans, we hope that you find our cottages to be a welcoming home away from home!

Northwind Cottage #3 has a fully furnished kitchen, a wood burning fireplace, and a living area perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. The cottage also features an enclosed porch for dining and lounging. The cottage has a wooden deck with a table and chairs for al fresco meals as well as a charcoal grill and a hammock. The cottage is serviced by cable TV and wireless internet.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with bunk beds. Please note, the bedroom walls do not reach the vaulted ceiling so noise will travel.

Thank you for your understanding.

Enjoyable stay at a cute cabin.

Had a frustrating time finding the driveway in a downpour of rain (written directions would have been helpful), and you can't tell from the map how to get there. But we eventually found it tucked away at the far end of a driveway. The covered carport turned out to be invaluable as it rained heavy all 4 days! (Thank God the roof doesn't leak!) Cute, clean, basic, cabin, nothing fancy, good value, take very quick showers! Overall good experience and happy with the rental. I would recommend that renters bring your own TP (or an upgrade would be nice) - unless you like cheap, single-ply, tissue paper quality TP - we didn't. Thanks.

Good location

It was a good location. Close to the lake and walking distance to many places in Ephraim. We did see a lot of deer while sitting outside. The kitchen is really well stocked. It was clean but It did have a strong smoker's smell and some what of a musty smell. There was a lot of rain during our stay so maybe the reason for the musty smell.

Beautiful cottage in Ephraim

The property is lovely and in a great location in a wooded area down the street from the water. The cottage was lovely, clean, and very charming. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is small for a larger family, but for our four person family it was a lovely base for our trip. There is a gas stove, fireplace, fire pit, charcoal grill, covered driveway, outdoor patio, fans, wall AC, dehumidifiers, and a beautiful sunroom. The cottage is on a slight tilt which is noticeable in the kitchen, but it was not a meaningful issue for us. The land is separate, but adjacent to another property, but the layout of the outside keeps you feeling secluded. There is no fence around the property. Overall I would highly recommend this accommodation for a quite getaway to Door County.

About the host

Hosted by Alison or Jerri

Hi, my name is Alison and I am a 6th generation descendant of one of the original settlers in Ephraim, Ole Larsen, who came over from Norway in the 1850s. I spent every summer of my childhood in Ephraim and have always held these memories close. I moved to Door County permanently in 2010 with my husband and we each now own our own small business in the area. We also have a young son and old dog to keep us busy. My brother and I purchased the Northwind Cottages as a means to protect the area from further development and keep some of the area's rural charm intact. We are excited to share our love of Door County and Ephraim with our guests and are happy that other families can build traditions like our own. I, along with my husband Simon, and our helpers Jerri and Mary are here to help you have a fantastic, smooth and peaceful vacation.

Why they chose this property

We love Northwind Cottage #3 because it is very similar to our great grandfather's nearby log cabin where we spent our childhood. The cottage has rustic charm and is located in the woods yet close to all of the activities Door County has to offer. Delicious food & drink, parks, free music, boat rentals, the beach and amazing sunsets are all within walking distance. This lovely Ephraim vacation cabin will provide a sense of tranquility and leave you feeling refreshed!

What makes this property unique

There's nothing like curling up in a log cabin playing games next to a roaring fire or having an evening meal outside listening to the sounds of nature. At our cottages you can take a step back and relax into a simpler life but when you're ready for some action or adventure, you will be close to all that Northern Door County has to offer.
