3 Bedroom House in Ephraim

Welcome to Heritage Harbor House, Residence 2. The greatest amenity is the location, very honestly the best in Door County.

Just sit on your private porch and relax or step out to enjoy water activities where you find the private 21 foot dock. It is a water lover’s paradise-swimming, sailing, paddle boarding, boating, floating are at your doorstep. Boats and kayaks can be rented within a few steps. You can see one of the best golf courses and the largest, loveliest state park from your front porch. Peninsula State Park has miles of shoreline, hiking and bilking trails, beaches, a nature center, lighthouse tours, professional theater in addition to its 18 hole golf course overlooking Eagle Harbor.The famous little ice cream parlor, Wilson’s is next door so you will effortlessly be able to buy your cone and watch the glorious sunsets over the harbor from your private porch.
The abundance of windows in the residence allow for light filled water view rooms. Heritage Harbor House is one of the most historic homes in Ephraim, circa 1906. Included in its history is 50 years as the Doctor's house/office serving all of Northern Door County. And this residence was recently lovingly fully renovated with tremendous attention to detail. Everything is hand picked and reflects the happy and fun Door County lifestyle. The minute you walk in you will fall in love with this beautiful home just steps from the water. The residence is well furnished with a nice open floor plan. The warm sun room with many windows views the water and flows into the living room which features a wood burning fireplace which is the focal point of the room. The living room has plenty of seating for conversation. From here you walk directly into one of two dining areas and see the kitchen.
The kitchen has all new appliances and a large island counter with additional seating for casual dining. Perfect for those memorable vacation nights where the family cooks and talks together. A convenient half bath and laundry room are located on the first floor as well. The French door from the dining room leads you outside to a side yard for your private use with a gas grill for your grilling out.
All bedrooms are located on the second floor. The master bedroom has windows facing the water, a king bed, and an en suite bath with a double whirlpool/shower. Sleep overlooking the harbor with the sound of the waves. You will find the spacious second bedroom with a queen bed and a third bedroom with twin trundle beds. So the home offers a full variety of bed options. The second and third bedrooms share a full bathroom that has a separate shower and separate tub.
The house offers everything you might possibly need including dishwasher and dish soap, all dishes, glassware etc toilet paper, hairdryer in each bathroom and more including your own washer/dryer. All clean linens and towels are provided. Of course, the best high speed wireless internet and cable TV. And central A/C. Expect an exceptionally clean house. Many hours are spent cleaning before you arrive to make it just right because that is most important to ensure your comfortable stay.
After you check in think about:
*Relaxing on the comfortable chairs on your private front porch, watching the water and reading, relaxing or falling asleep for a nap.
*Cook out or Cook in at your private home in the best Door County location right in the center of the Village just steps from kayaking, sailing, the beach.
*Grabbing a cone from that famous White Ice Cream Parlor, Wilson’s which is next door. Savor the nearby best dining locale like Alexanders, Trixies (next door), or Chop.
*Take a short walk along the shore to the Fish Boil for a delicious Door County traditional dinner experience.
*Plan a morning or afternoon hike or bike ride on the best trails in Door County that you can see in Peninsula State Park from the house.
*For wholesome memorable night theater for families or couples take in the Northern Sky Theater or Peninsula Players just minutes from your home.
*Visit unique galleries and shops.
Some families or couples will remember the sunset over the bay, others a special purchase from one of the galleries, still others some exhilarating recreational activity, good old fashioned companionship, fine foods, or retiring in a comfortable bed and breathing pure Door County air and just plain relaxing. We invite you to visit.

Summary: Such an amazing house, we would have loved to get a tour of the whole thing- so many doors and cool areas that aren't a part of the rental. Perfect location for the ideal Door County vacation!
