All the stars!

I give this stay all the stars! The tranquil setting was spectacular. We enjoyed walking the trails and sitting on the balcony taking in the peace and quiet. Even on a rainy day, we had a blast spending time in the stable playing ping pong and bags. The location was just right for us - close to Sister Bay or Ephrain for groceries, dining, and activities - but far enough away to feel like we were truly away from it all. The interior was delightfully decorated, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Randy was also a very responsive host - the care he took to provide an exceptional experience was evident from the moment we booked. Door County is always special, but this trip was a level-up. Loved every minute of it!

Excellent family friendly home

So much space inside and outside of the house for adults and children to relax or play games. Never a worry about having to share space. Furnishings were very comfortable and all the kitchen and serving items we needed were available. Our host was super friendly and took care of all our needs.

Door County Triathlon

Our group of 8 was in Door County for the annual triathlon in July. We had 8 adults. The owner, Randy, was very helpful and available. His response time was very fast when we had any questions. The location is very private and spacious. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. The lower level has a ping pong table in one of the horse stalls and the other stall has a dart board. There is also a horse shower so if you bring any dogs, you can rinse them off before taking them inside. Our dog loved the land and ran around the fields. The upper level is the main living area. We slept comfortably and there are 3 large bathrooms. The kitchen had lots of room to operate with multiple people. The kitchen range has 6 burners, so plenty of space for cooking. Even with 8 adults in the main living space, it still felt huge. While it is private, it's only 11 minutes from Ephraim and Fish Creek. Our triathlon was in Egg Harbor and that was an easy 20 minute drive. Before we left on our final day, we all went down the slide which goes from the outdoors upper balcony in the back to the lower level. It's a fun place to stay. We highly recommend this rental!

About the host

Hosted by Randy

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.
