We love staying in Ephraim and this property was in a perfect location for us. It had a great view, plenty of room for the four of us, and was very clean with everything we needed.

Very nice comfortable property with access to neighboring pool. Nice location in Epraim between Fish Creek and Sister Bay.
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!
Enjoyed our stay at Homestead Rental. Great location, comfortable, clean accommodations and great hosts! We had a thoughtful welcome gift waiting when we arrived and Diane went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of!
The Homestead Rental was fantastic, we all agree we would definitely stay there again. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the hosts have thought of every possible small detail to make your stay pleasant. That along with the location will put this home at the top of our list for trips to Door County!
What a lovely stay we had. Diane was so responsive and easy to work with. Our stay was comfortable and relaxing. Everything we needed was there in the home. Clean and tidy, close to everything. A note and welcome gift, too. A great place to stay!
Excellent house in the heart of Ephraim. Walking distance to all Ephraim restaurants and the waterfront. The house has an awesome view of the water in the distance from the living room.
The host was very responsive, the house was clean, and it had all the cooking items we needed. I would stay here again.
The location was perfect. Great access point, centrally located. Beautiful view. Home was extremely clean, great space, host Diane did a wonderful job communicating and left some really nice gifts and touches for us as guests! I would book again.
My parents came out from Oregon for the fall colors. We had a fantastic time! The cottage was perfect, and very well appointed. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t already there. Everything was very clean and the beds were very comfortable.
We had a great 2 night stay just in time to see the peak fall colors! The house was exactly as expected and very well kept. We were welcomed with a basket of goodies and a personal note from Diane and Larry. House had lake views and was in a nice spot. Highly recommend!!
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.
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.
Long weekend stay to enjoy Door County! Homestead has a great location with lake view and central to Sister Bay and Fishcreek. Very comfortable and clean accommodations. Would definitely stay again!
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.
It was a quiet place/neighborhood so that was nice. The home was clean and as advertised. We liked it a lot and would certainly stay there again...and plan to!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable and provided for our needs. So thoughtful of Diane and Larry to leave a gift basket. We would definitely recommend this house as an inviting place to stay in a quiet area within walking distance to the water and to restaurants.
Loved our stay here. House was clean. Everything was well organized and labeled. Everything you needed. Lots of towels. Beds were comfy, great lightening in all the rooms. Had a chair in each room which was nice for my elderly parents to sit on and get dressed. Diane was quick to respond to questions. Over all a great stay!

Great location with views and walking options. Three bedrooms with three queen beds was a PLUS!! Management was accessible and easy to reach if needed. Would definitely return!!
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.
