Wonderful place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay and felt welcomed. This property is well cared for and you feel like you are a guest in someone’s home-not staying in a rental property.

Very charming house in a great location. The lake is right across the street. The location is convenient to get to anywhere on the peninsula. Check in/out process is smooth. The sheets were fabulous! I recommend this VRBO and would stay there again!

Fyr Bal Weekend

We had a lovely stay in Ephraim during the Fyr Bal weekend. The location of the house was great to walk to the arts and craft stalls and to see the fire works. Although the weather was cool, the house was nice and warm and great to walk back after the fireworks were done. The kitchen is well equipped and the gas grill outside worked great. The view of the lake is outstanding, especially at sunset. We would definitely stay here again.

Fall Break

We wanted a short fall break for our family. The homestead perfectly met our needs. The location of Ephraim was ideal because it allowed us to visit Sister Bay, Peninsula State Park, Fish Creek and of course, Ephraim. The homestead was very comfortable and met all of our needs. We enjoyed snacks provided by the host upon arrival. Instructions were clearly marked throughout the house and Checkin process very easy.

Great home base for exploring Door County

The Homestead Rental in Ephraim was a great central location for exploring all Door County has to offer. It was the perfect size for my wife and I and the two other couples (friends) we were traveling with. When we arrived, it was great that the lights were left on for us, so we didn't need to hunt for light switches right away. We were surprised and really appreciated the welcome gift of snacks and Door County cookbooks. Having access to the dock and gazebo for watching sunsets was great. Sitting and relaxing on the patio was wonderful each evening. While the building seem a bit older, it was well kept and clean. The WiFi worked great and we all appreciated the abundance of hot water. Will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to Door County.

Beautiful view of the bay/sunset!

My family loved staying at the Homestead property. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to watch the breath taking sunsets!!! The location is great! We walked to Wilson's for dinner and ice cream. The public beach is a 7.5 minute walk away. It is an awesome beach for families of all ages! The beds were comfy, bathrooms were cutely remodeled. There is a fully stocked kitchen and a grill that we enjoyed using while our kids ran around the yard overlooking the bay on the front patio. Downsides: It would have been nice to have laundry facilities on site. We found a laundromat in Sister Bay, but it ate up half a day doing laundry. The wi-fi was painfully slow. Overall, we loved the place. It was convenient to everything and has a gorgeous view!!!

About the host

Hosted by Diane J

This home has been in our family since it was first built in 1950 by my Grandparents. We have been updating the home every year since 2016.
My husband and I are full time residents who live 2 miles away and are available for any spur of the moment concerns. Our love of Door County keeps us here Year-round although we do travel to see our 9 grandchildren in the winter.

Why they chose this property

Our comfortable rental home is in the middle of the historic district in Ephraim. By car we are also centrally located on the peninsula to beaches, wineries, trolley tours, outdoor activities, and all the breathtaking scenery in Door County. Off the main Highway you can relax and still be close to everything going on.

What makes this property unique

The Homestead is one of the few rental homes in downtown Ephraim with private shore and pier access just a short walk away. The sunsets are breathtaking. We also have use of an outdoor heated pool, just across the side street, but you must bring your own towels. The Ephraim Public Beach is 2 blocks away. It is the cleanest, safest, family friendly sand beach in Door County. Historic Wilson's Ice Cream Parlor is a block north of the Homestead Rental.
