About the host
Hosted by Diane J
This home has been in our family since it was first built in 1950 by my Grandparents. We have been updating the home every year since 2016.
My husband and I are full time residents who live 2 miles away and are available for any spur of the moment concerns. Our love of Door County keeps us here Year-round although we do travel to see our grandchildren in the winter.

Why they chose this property
Our comfortable rental home is right in the middle of the historic district in Ephraim. By car we are also centrally located on the peninsula to beaches, wineries, trolley tours, outdoor activities, and all the breathtaking scenery in Door County. Off the main Highway you can relax and still be close to everything going on.
What makes this property unique
The Homestead is one of the few rental homes in downtown Ephraim with private shore and pier access just a short walk away. The sunsets are breathtaking. We also have use of a pool, but you must bring your own towels. The Ephraim Public Beach is 2 blocks away. It is the cleanest, safest, family friendly sand beach in Door County. Historic Wilson's Ice Cream Parlor is a block away.
