About this property

Historic Ephraim Cottage - Waterfront w/ Dock - Wrap Around Porch

  • Built in 1910, the Yeoman’s Cottage - a craftsman style home, has been a beloved summer home for our family for 98 years and five generations.

    Our favorite feature is the wrap-around porch for cocktail hour at 5 and the sunset, of course! The priceless view includes the uninhabited bluffs of Peninsula State Park, as well as, Horseshoe and Chambers Islands.

    BEWARE! Once you have enjoyed the pleasures of the porch — with a cup of coffee or a cocktail — and taken in the spectacular views — you may never want to leave!

    5 Bedroom - 2 King, 2 Queen, 2 Twin
    3 Full Bathroom - 2 Ensuite, 1 Collective

    Access to the private dock and rocky beach is via a 1920’s flagstone path with stone staircase. The concrete dock extends to the water, providing easy access for swimming and paddle boarding. (Usually too shallow for tying up a boat)

    The enchanting country kitchen boasts a cozy breakfast nook where you can enjoy gazing through the large windows into the surrounding woods. Open shelving stores all the dishes and cookware needed to produce meals for a crowd, and a small pantry holds additional appliances and supplies. Gas Grill just outside the door.

    The screened in dining porch provides protection from the weather while giving the illusion of being in a tree-house overlooking the lake.

    There are 4 bedrooms in the main house, 2 up and 2 down, with a full bathroom downstairs for everyone use and a full bathroom upstairs in the Primary Suite. The Garden Cabin suite is a separate building with Bedroom (Queen) and Full Bath.

    Located only ¾ mile from the center of the Village of Ephraim and a 5-minute drive to Peninsula State Park. Sister Bay sits just ten minutes north.
