Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time at Northwinds Cottage #2! It was spacious and comfortable. The quiet cabin close to lots of restaurants and shops was a great location and a nice escape. Perfect setting for our dog to join us! Everything was clean and well kept and well stocked. Thanks for a great week!

Exceeded expectations!

Being already-familiar with the area, we knew this was an exceptional location! Nestled on a quiet drive amidst the beauty of nature, this property is also a quick, easy walk to the beauty and charm of Ephraim, including yummy restaurants, the beach, and the village. The interior is impeccably maintained, with not a speck of dirt on sight. Common living area was comfortable and cozy, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed to feel at home. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable, and bathroom was just what is needed. What was particularly appreciated was the attention to include the little things you might need (shelves by beds, nightlights, labels on switches etc) which made the stay even more enjoyable. Top it off with an idyllic porch and outdoor seating area, and you’ve got perfection!

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 #2 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 Northwind #2 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.
