This cozy retreat in Ephraim is perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway, located just off Hwy 42 in a quiet area, yet within close proximity to various shops and restaurants, with Peninsula State Park nearby. Having returned here for four consecutive years, we have always been impressed with our stay. Randy and Elizabeth, our hosts, are outstanding and very responsive to our inquiries. We highly recommended that you check out Harbor House Cottage if you are looking for a place to stay while in Door County.

Loved our stay! Really appreciated the no/low fragrance use by the cleaning crew. Really cute cottage that was clean and comfortable! For dietary reasons, my husband and I cook our own food, which was easily done in the kitchen. Loved the back porch for morning coffee and breakfast! Would stay here again if we're back in the area.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Harbor House cottage this summer. The location of this home could not be more perfect to get almost anywhere in Door County. The local beach was the best around and so clean/calm. We would stay in this home again without hesitation. This home was clean and well stocked for a lovely trip!

Mostly good

Stayed for a long weekend as a family of 5. The cottage was cozy, but comfortable. It has everything we needed for our stay and included some cute and thoughtful touches. The cottage did, however, have a funny smell. Maybe it was musty? Not sure, but it was definitely noticeable whenever you walked in. It was also cooled with 2 AC window units in each of the bedrooms, which were effective but noisy. Overall it was still a good stay, just a few things that might make me look for a different place next time.
