Beautiful property inside and out. Very clean. Quiet, enjoyed seeing deer each day. Only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. The cherry pie was a very nice, welcoming touch. I hope we can return some day.

We enjoyed our stay at your house so much. The beds are comfortable, the family room spacious. The house and yard are beautiful. I loved reading on the hammock. It was an easy walk to Main Street, using the stairs off Dane St. the neighborhood was so quiet, a peaceful respite after a busy day by the bay.
Beautiful flowers all around the house.
Sunset view from the top of the stairs down to Main Street. There’s even a bench there.
Sunset over the bay at top of steps.

Nice house, GREAT location, beautiful yard

Very nice property. The house was comfortable and the VRBO description is accurate. Off the beaten path but very close to shops , food and fun! Beautiful yard, roads have little traffic and are easy to walk. Property is spacious and comfortable; plenty of shade and Adirondack chairs. Neighbors are friendly.

Comfortable and private

This home is exceptionally clean, comfortable and surrounded by a beautiful forest. We enjoyed a visit from a couple of deers on our first day. It’s located very close to Ephraim main town and provides easy access to everything that Door County offers. This was our second stay in the Thorp home and would certainly book it in the future.

Lovely Home!

The BD Thorp House was perfect for our week in Door County. The house is immaculate and was well stocked with everything you would need. The location is in a quiet neighborhood just a short drive from downtown Ephraim. It was quiet, cozy and the perfect getaway for our family. The cherry pie was a "sweet" touch. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to Door County!

What a delightful stay! The home was clean, cozy and we loved the historic charm it exuded. We especially loved all the pictures/paintings of Ephraim/Door County - so beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked and living area large with many games/movies available. We enjoyed the beautiful yard, relaxing in the Adirondack chairs and hammock - it was very quiet and close to the water.We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this lovely home and look forward to staying again soon. Thank you very much also for the yummy apple pie to welcome us - we sure felt like we were coming home. Thanks again!

Wonderful!

My sisters and I loved this place. It was clean it has everything you would need. Nice quality appliances, towels and sheets. I got to meet the owner, he was very nice, and he left us a cherry pie as a welcome gift! What a wonderful surprise when you walk in, and it was still warm. The layout was great, people can stay up in the living room while others sleep and you do not disturb them. Thank you for sharing the home with us, we had a great time!
