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!

Great property with plenty of spaces to relax. We had three generations and everyone was comfortable. The porch and fire pit were huge hits. The kayaks are also a wonderful perk. We rented both houses and highly recommend for a large group. Randy and Elizabeth were awesome hosts and very attentive.

Four great lady friends enjoyed this lovely home and especially loved the front porch. Home is well appointed with all the important stuff..comfortable beds and furniture, good kitchen, enough room to enjoy being by yourself.

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!

Excellent stay at Harbor House

We had an excellent stay at the Harbor House! This property is situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood just a few minutes' walk from Ephraim public beach. Check-in was quick and simple and the owner is very responsive. The property was clean and has excellent gathering areas for a group in the dining room, living room, front porch, and outdoor seating area. We LOVED the screened-in porch as it allowed us to enjoy the outdoors without dealing with the bugs that are ever-present in Door County! We enjoyed the use of the kayaks from the property and used the Ephraim public beach access to enter the water. There are window AC units in each room, with the exception of the laundry room/bedroom, but this room has screened windows that can be opened to allow air circulation. We had a very pleasant stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

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!!

Gateway to Northern Door County

Harbor House is a warm, inviting home nestled just off the main road, making the location perfect for access to Peninsula Park, downtown Ephraim and Northern Door County. Large screened in porch, clean, spacious, and well stocked, this home is a great choice for your time away from home.

Perfect location

This was for my daughters 34 birthday. Also our annual girls (family) trip. We had 2 great grandmas 1 grandma 2 daughters and 3 little men ages 4,2,and 8weeks. The home was perfect. Walking distance to a cute little candy shop and a breakfast nook. The public beach was so close. The yard was perfect for the little men to explore. The drawers were filled with everything that was needed to accommodate us. The rooms were cozy. Love this place! Thank you again for a perfect time spent there! Much love

Perfect for our Family

We were so pleased with our stay at the Harbor House! Everything was nice and tidy upon arrival, check in directions were clear, and hosts checked in with us. We outgrew a different place we used to stay in Door County, and this was the perfect place to fit all 8 of us, including children. Having 4 bedrooms is so accommodating. Our favorite perks were the beautiful screened in porch, spacious yard with fire pit, and prime location. We will definitely be back!

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!

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.

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!

Perfect place-perfect timing

We were a group of 73 year old women getting together here after our 55 year class reunion in Green Bay. There were 9 and all were comfortable with sleeping arrangements. Great location, walking distance to shore, where we were pretty lucky to see the northern lights. We had one little glitch with internet and was quickly taken care of with Randy. The hosts were very attentive, concerned that everything was good. A good and special time was had by us all. Thank you Randy and Elizabeth
