The area

This home is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors and municipal restrictions, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, weddings, or other gatherings.

Just 0.8 miles from downtown Ephraim, Cottage on the Hill offers easy access to the village's shops, restaurants, and waterfront attractions. Please note that the route includes a fairly steep hill, so while the distance is walkable, many guests find driving or biking to be more comfortable-especially on the return trip to the house as you will be walking uphill on the return.

“We felt like the first guests in a very clean house. We had a great time. The listing is accurate: Centrally located on a quiet road close to town. Comfortable beds. Although we mostly ate out, there is plenty of kitchenware of every kind to cook anything.”

“Great spot for a short weekend getaway. We loved the location for the fall festival and perfect for our parents to have their bedroom on the main floor - great for someone with a walker and cane.”

“The Cottage on the Hill was perfect for our family’s weekend getaway to Door County! The home was spacious, well-appointed and exceptionally clean. It’s just a quick drive down the road to shops, restaurants & the water, there were games & puzzles for our kids to play, and the communication with the host was excellent. We would definitely come back in the future!”
