Family Fun Duplex North @Ephraim Beach on Ephraim Village Cottages Resort
Door County, Wisconsin is a special place in its own right but Ephraim is a quiet village perfect for families that want to experience a simpler life, for couples that want to keep the flame alive, for outdoor enthusiasts that hike, bike or kayak, for gals that want girl time, for guys that love to boat and fish, and for everyone else in between who wants to feel at home while on vacation.
Your cottage, which is located on the Ephraim Village Cottage resort property in Ephraim, WI, has everything you need to relax, unwind, and reconnect with family, friends, and even make new friends. Morning coffee (coffee maker and filters provided) is even more delicious while sitting on the front deck. Chilly nights are cozy while snuggled up next to the fire place. And meals cooked outside on the Weber charcoal grill at your cottage is even more delicious when enjoyed out on the picnic table. Your kitchen is fully stocked (cookware/dishes/serving ware/fridge/oven/microwave), towels are soft, beds are comfy, and of course your cottage is sparkling clean.
Shady Rest North is a two bedroom (upstairs - 1 queen/2 twin) and full bath (upstairs) duplex cottage. Bedrooms are carpeted. The living space boasts laminate flooring, a cozy fire place, television, comfy furniture. This townhouse/cottage overlooks our community fire pit and children’s playground and shares a deck with the attached cottage.
From your cottage you can enjoy a starry night with adult beverages or mornings with beautiful birdsongs and hot coffee. Walk two minutes to the Ephraim beach for some sun, sand, swim and sunsets. Join the other guests in our surrounding cottages for stories, laughter and smores around the fire pit which boasts seating for 12 in sturdy rockers that support up to 350lbs (plus a bench that supports up to 500 lbs).
Parking is right next to your cottage, boosted WiFi is on the house and is strong enough for a working vacation. Cottage includes two AC units. There is a wall unit in the downstairs living area and a window unit in the queen bedroom. Both bedrooms have table fans. The twin bedroom has windows that open. Cottage has working electric heat for chilly nights. The best part, your cottage is the only cottage that faces the interior of the property. If you have children you can watch them play to their hearts content while you just be...

Quick response to your request . . .
Overall: well-supplied, comfortable, very clean and well described. I received a financial statement ahead of visit from you and one from Vrbo. Former said wasn't paid, but Vrbo confirmed that it was. Also received clear instructions that we were required to check in before entering unit, but a conflicting set saying door's open, keys inside. ?? Hot air rises, but no A/C in one bedroom—remove storms, keep screens through fall. And remove wall decorations, & wire rack above toilet and 1 washcloth rack, three towel racks + hooks on doors—one useable rack for top to 4 tenants isn't enough. Otherwise, great experience.

Great Experience!
This place was perfect for our family. Loved the location, walking distance from beach. Playground was a huge hit with our kids. The place was clean, cozy and comfortable. The whole experience with the owners was great as well. Quick responses, Clear check-in and check-out directions. Also, my girls loved the bucket of crayons and coloring books in their room. Sweet touch.

Great for a family getaway!
Our time at the shady rest north was nothing short of amazing! Ruann and Daryl were on top of everything! The house was spotless being dog friendly I had expected it to have that pet/cottage odor. It was meticulously clean. They left a smore package for our son with glow sticks to enjoy the fire pit and dog biscuits for our pup. They were prompt in answering questions. Our entire family enjoyed the space. We were able to walk with the pup and toddler to the downtown area, as well as the public beach easily. Will be booking again!

Lovely stay at Shady Rest North
We enjoyed our stay at Shady Rest North! The cottage is updated, clean and location cannot be beat! Rode the back roads to shops and restaurants and enjoyed the beach. Our 9 and 12 year old loved the Badminton right out the front door. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great place to stay!
When we first arrived, we noticed the coffee filters were missing. Called the number on the frig and someone answered. (I guess I was expecting to talk to an answering machine.) Ruann came over soon after to drop off the filters and along with some homemade cherry jam for the troubles. It was a very thoughtful gesture.
Their communication about maintenance happening around the cottages was spot on. I received emails and text messages alerting us to light bulb changes to the deck light and the weed service coming by.
We stayed in one of the 2-story cottages. It was awesome - had everything we needed and appreciated the reminder to bring our own cooking oil and tin foil. It was just my boyfriend, dog, and I staying, but I think it would have comfortably fit 2 more people.
I definitely recommend staying here and plan to be back!
