About this property
Fall Colors & Bay Sunsets | Ephraim Duplex Sleeps 6
Surrounded by fall colors and just one block from the bay, our cozy log-style duplex is a peaceful fall retreat in the heart of Ephraim. Walk to the waterfront for beautiful bay sunsets, explore downtown shops and restaurants, then come back and relax among the changing colors. The duplex comfortably sleeps up to six guests.
The property includes two separate studio suites, Pine and Cedar, which are rented together. Each has its own private entrance, giving families, couples, or friends the chance to travel together while still having their own space and privacy.
Pine sleeps two with a queen bed, kitchenette, private bathroom, and TV. Cedar sleeps four with a queen bed, queen sleeper sofa, kitchenette, private bathroom, and a small living area with TV.
Outside, each suite has its own small patio, and the property is surrounded by mature trees that come alive with color in the fall. Enjoy crisp autumn days exploring Ephraim and Door County, walk down to the bay for sunset, or spend a cozy evening relaxing back at your retreat.
Each studio is equipped for a comfortable stay, featuring its own full bathroom, a mini split A/C unit, high-speed internet, and a Smart TV with cable. The convenient kitchenettes include a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a toaster oven/air fryer. For entertainment, you'll also find a collection of games, books, and puzzles.
Outside, a huge, grassy yard awaits. Enjoy lawn games during the day and gather around the fire pit for stories and stargazing at night.
Guest Access
You will have private access to the entire duplex, including both the Pine and Cedar cottages, as well as shared parking. The expansive yard, fire pit, and lawn games are also yours to enjoy.
Please note that if another group is staying in the main house on the property, these outdoor amenities and the parking area will be shared.

We had a lovely time in Ephraim and staying in this wonderfully comfortable and centrally located cabin was the best. We introduced our friends from Belfast, Northern Ireland to Wisconsin this week and our stay in Ephraim was a real highlight. I would highly recommend this cozy cabin for your visit to one of Wisconsin's real gems.
