It is conveniently situated across from Peninsula State Park hiking trails, off-road bike trails, and cross-country ski trails; 1/4 mile to the State Park Golf Course.

Savor the quiet sounds of the woods and the crackling of firewood burning over the open outdoor fire-pit ~ roast s'mores each evening to end the perfect day in Door County!

Lille Cottage is absolutely charming & quaint. Perfect for our long girls weekend while attending a wedding in nearby Egg Harbor. The location is great! The host also provided an assortment of local coffee which was much appreciated as well as delicious. The back porch is lovely for an afternoon glass of wine.

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. My daughter and I fell in love with decor. It is located in a central space making navigation of the penninsula super easy. The back yard was a great place to start and end our days. I highly recommend this absolutely lovely cabin to anyone heading to the Door Penninsula.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Russell

Host profile image
The Russell family, of Iowa, purchased this second property in May 2017 and have begun extensive renovations. Brad and Amy Russell are native Wisconsinites, who have adopted 12 children; and thus want Lille Cottage to remain 'child-friendly' and enjoyed by families... (Your pets are welcome, too :). We will continue to rent the cottage, extending it to year-round rental. They have made several renovations to the home (new kitchen w/retro appliances, bathroom, Mst. bedroom). The name "Lille Cottage", which means "tiny cottage" to reflect the cozy cottage feel. We welcome you to 'Lille Cottage!!!

Note: The Russell's also have another vacation rental cottage (circa 1853), "Arbor Cottage Loft" (vrbo 307617), which is located in the center of the Village of Ephraim and has 100' of private waterfront w/white Adirondack chairs to relax and enjoy the views. It faces west for incredible sunset views over Eagle Harbor!

Why they chose this property

We enjoy renovating and bringing life back into older properties... So when this "quirky" cottage became available, we snagged it! We are currently renovating the kitchen, bathroom, and landscaping the backyard for more outdoor enjoyment (opening June 2017, hopefully :) ... Playing off it's 1950 construction, we are designing a "retro" theme of new, but vintage looking appliances (turquoise refrig from Big Chill), and retro wallpapers - complete with a "tacky", but so cute, flamingo bathroom! It's fresh, colorful, and fun!
We also renovated "Arbor Cottage" in Ephraim....and have so enjoyed meeting new friends/guests ... Looking forward to seeing you this summer at Lille Cottage!

What makes this property unique

Quiet, tucked back off the main Hwy 42 (near corner of Hwy A) and conveniently located across from Peninsula State Park "A" entrance - easy access to hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing ... Located between Fish Creek and Ephraim, close to amenities from both villages - golf course is 1/2 mile north of the property ... Ephraim public beach is 1 mile north ...
