Historic Home w/ Hot Tub, Game RM, Fireplace!

Welcome to Chatham Hills House, a newly renovated rental located in Ephraim's historic district. Situated on 26 acres of meticulously maintained hiking trails, this property offers a serene getaway.

Accommodating up to 12 guests, when you book at Chatham Hills House, you have exclusive access to the entire property. We warmly welcome pets and children, making it a family-friendly retreat. The historic home boasts four spacious bedrooms and a fully renovated open-concept kitchen/dining area. Gather around the exquisite Amish-made farmhouse table, where the whole family can enjoy meals together. The dining area seamlessly flows into the living room, featuring a generous sectional couch, TV, and fireplace. For relaxation and entertainment, the lounge area is ideal, complete with a cribbage game and a convertible queen futon that doubles as the fourth bedroom. Additional sleeping space is available with a futon in the lounge.

*MUST READ ENTIRE LISTING & RULES BEFORE YOU BOOK*

The lower level of the house has been transformed into a game room, offering endless amusement. Challenge your companions to a game of bumper pool, try your skills on the arcade machine, or test your accuracy with the professional dart board. A secondary kitchen is conveniently located, perfect for serving appetizers and snacks. Additionally, there's a dedicated kid's game room stocked with toys, books, and puzzles.

We are excited to introduce our new Winter Adventure Items package! Now included with your stay, you can enjoy snowshoes, poles, sleds, ice fishing gear, ice hockey gear, snowball makers, and snow castle makers.

Chatham Hills House not only offers inviting indoor spaces but also provides ample outdoor gathering areas to invigorate your senses. Multiple private decks, porches, balconies, and a spacious backyard with a fire pit await you. The property leads directly to the Door County Land Trust, a stunning nature preserve filled with lush greenery, perfect for hiking, dog walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing during the winter months.

As an exclusive amenity, Chatham Hills House presents "The Adventure Shed." Inside, you'll find kayaks, bikes, outdoor games, grills, coolers, strollers, kids' toys, snowshoes, ice hockey gear, ice fishing gear, and much more. All of these items are complimentary for guests of Chatham Hills. Please note that usage of The Adventure Shed is at your own risk, and a waiver must be signed before accessing the equipment.

We happily accommodate dogs, but we regretfully cannot accept cats due to allergic family members. Rest assured, we provide all the necessary supplies for your furry friends, including crates, dog beds, bowls, leashes, and more. The fee for dogs is $50 per day.

Chatham Hills House is equally child and infant-friendly, offering amenities such as a high chair, pack 'n plays, toys, books, and kids' utensils.

Located just a short 15-minute drive from any venue on the Peninsula, Chatham Hills House allows you to park your car and explore the charming tree-lined streets. Experience breathtaking sunsets at Eagle Harbor, go fishing at Anderson Dock, or indulge in boat rentals and exploration at South Shore Pier.

The presence of fruit flies, gnats, May flies, horse flies, mosquitoes, bats, mice, and other such creatures does not reflect on the cleanliness of our home. Despite our best endeavors, these small pests may occasionally appear.

**The motel behind the house, which is not open during the winter, will be going through minor renovations December - April. If you see working guys back there, or a work truck in the parking lot, that's what is going on!**

Great place!
Emily was very responsive to my questions prior to our stay. After we checked in we discovered the hot water wasn't working - Emily had someone there within an hour and fixed the problem. Great space for our family holiday gathering.

January Celebration
Beautiful home that offers all the qualities you would expect at home. Our hosts thought of EVERYTHING! We celebrated a milestone birthday - all women. We were pleased to have FIVE full bathrooms, a fully stocked coffee bar, every kitchen necessity possible (all good quality), plenty of linens/blankets, towels, paper goods, and they even provided full size pump bottles of shampoo/conditioner, and body wash in each shower! I have never seen this! Thank you for allowing us to be your guest!
