About this property

Harbor House located in the heart of Ephraim

Welcome to Harbor House, located in the heart of Ephraim, Wisconsin!

Ephraim, with its sparkling harbor and picturesque landscape, is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Door County's bayside villages. That's where you'll find our restored 5-bedroom house, located on a quiet street at 9801 Brookside Lane.

The Harbor House has a large screened-in front porch, living room, dining room with seating for 12, kitchen, 2 full baths, and 5 bedrooms (2 master bedrooms, each with a queen mattress), one bedroom with three twin beds (bunk beds and a separate twin bed), one bedroom with a set of twin beds & one lofted twin bed (above the laundry area).

For your convenience, all beds have pillows, bedspreads, blankets, sheets, pillowcases and mattress pads. Bath towels are also provided.

Harbor House features a 32" flat screen SmartTV as well as hi-speed WiFi. We provide a Weber charcoal grill, an outdoor fire pit with Adirondack chairs as well as 4 kayaks for our guests to use. For those traveling with small children, a pack-and-play crib and highchair are available.

Parking is provided for up to 3 cars. For groups that have a large number of people, consider booking both the 5 bedroom house and our 2-bedroom Harbor House Guest Cottage located toward the back of our property (listing number 982888).

We are conveniently located approximately two blocks from the Ephraim public beach.

Our family loves all that Door County and Ephraim has to offer. We hope you'll make the Harbor House a part of your next visit to the peninsula!

Fall Festival Fun!

Our group of 6 comfortably stayed for Sister Bay’s Fall Festival. It was the perfect location! The large dining table was ideal for our group and the fire pit was a welcome retreat after a long day at the festival! This was our 2nd time renting The Harbor House and we will do it again!

Wonderful

The property is beautiful and in prime location for Ephraim. Just a short walk to the lake public beach, shops and Good Eggs (breakfast burrito shop on the corner). Neighbors were wonderful and there was plenty of parking. If we return in the future will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others.

Cozy Door County house

House was comfortable with a very nice porch. Plenty of room to accommodate our group of 5. Nice firepit area for a group to enjoy (we didn't have the time to use it). The walk to the lake was only about a block away. The owners contacted us to check that all was ok when we checked in and again to ask if we had any check out questions. Highly recommend this rental.

Great location for girls weekend

We enjoyed our stay at Harbor House for our girls weekend to Door County. The house was adorable and meet our needs perfectly. The location is great to travel to various wineries, breweries and take it the amazing views. It was great to have our own space to come back to at the end of the night. Communication was great and the property is exactly as described!

Classic Door County Charm, Ideal Location

Love this house! Cozy, clean, and lots of Door County charm with the large, enclosed front porch. (The porch would be ideal for a family game night in the summer with its tables and porch swing.) We had a nice time at the fire pit surrounded by plenty of Adirondack chairs for our group. (Bring your own firewood.) Even saw beautiful northern lights from the beach a couple of blocks away, and heard coyotes yipping and howling in the wooded area to the west. Very responsive host. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Spot for a Girls Weekend Away

Wonderful property we enjoyed over a weekend for my bachelorette party. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch together. It was great everyone could have their own bed, and the house itself is full of charm. Location was perfect - walking distance to downtown but off the main road for quiet nights of good sleep. Thank you!

Charming Ephraim vacation house

Harbor House is the perfect Ephraim getaway! Everything about it was perfect. Beautiful decor, spotlessly clean, it provides everything we needed for a family reunion. The kitchen is fully equipped for making meals and the dining table is huge for family gatherings. A highlight of our stay was gathering around the firepit on a chilly night watching the stars come out. The owners, Randy and Elizabeth, were so kind and welcoming. If we could give Harbor House SIX stars we would!!

Charming older home is a very comfortable and quiet place to stay with a fully stocked kitchen. Host even called the morning after we arrived to see if we needed anything. Loved the screen porch and the gazebo. We'd highly recommend taking the available kayaks out on Ephraim bay.

Great HQ for Door County Half Marathon

We came up for a long weekend to run the Door County Half Marathon and enjoy the area. The house was very close to the race site and great for our two families with young children - the bunk bed room, swing, and gazebo in particular were hits with the kiddos. Very well-stocked kitchen and attentive host. Thank you for a lovely visit!

Quiet location, lovely porch, welcoming owners

A cozy home in a perfect location to enjoy all that Door County has to offer. We especially enjoyed the lovely front porch on a cool spring evening. The owners, Randy and Elizabeth, were quick to answer any questions before we arrived at the house and Randy welcomed us with a phone call shortly after our arrival to ensure that we had everything we needed.
