Northwind Cottage #3, Cozy cabin in the woods, 1 block from the Bay.

Nestled in the cedars, our pet friendly log cottage offers a peaceful retreat, and at the same time, a convenient home base for exploring all that Door County has to offer. We think you’ll love the rustic northwoods vibe. The cottage is located just a short walk from the waterfront, public beach, and the charming village of Ephraim. Take a sunset sail, go for a carriage ride, step into the past on a historical tour, or simply take a leisurely stroll on the back roads. As for food and drink, Ephraim Coffee Lab, Good Eggs, Trixie’s, Pearl Wine Bar and Wilson’s famous ice cream parlor are all nearby. Peninsula State Park is within biking distance. And of course, just a little further afield, opportunities abound for hiking, exploring nature, golfing, boating, checking out the galleries or taking in a show. Whatever your plans, we hope that you find our cottages to be a welcoming home away from home!

Northwind Cottage #3 has a fully furnished kitchen, a wood burning fireplace, and a living area perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. The cottage also features an enclosed porch for dining and lounging. The cottage has a wooden deck with a table and chairs for al fresco meals as well as a charcoal grill and a hammock. The cottage is serviced by cable TV and wireless internet.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with bunk beds. Please note, the bedroom walls do not reach the vaulted ceiling so noise will travel. However, the adults can relax on the enclosed porch off of the kitchen while children are sleeping.

Northwind Cottage #3 is adjacent to Northwind Cottages #1 and #2. Not only can each cottage be rented out individually, but they are also perfect for larger family gatherings, accommodating up to 18 people total, when renting all three together.
1-2 dogs are permitted. Dogs must not be left alone in the cottage. $100 pet fee per reservation (includes 1-2 dogs).

Perfect Door County Location in Ephraim
This cabin was perfect for our Door County girlfriends' getaway. It was an easy walk to Ephraim activities like sunset viewing and restaurants. Yet, it was located in a wooded area, was quiet, and had both an outdoor fire pit area for lounging and a deck area with table and chairs for morning coffee. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions we had. I would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy cabin perfect for family in beaucoup location!
Thank you to the hosts for providing the perfect walkable retreat! Access to the cabin was easy, and accommodations were thought-out and comfortable. Cabin was cozy but had just enough space for our family of four. Three seasons porch was lovely extra breathing room. Clean, appointed, and best of all in a top-notch location!

Enjoyable stay at a cute cabin.
Had a frustrating time finding the driveway in a downpour of rain (written directions would have been helpful), and you can't tell from the map how to get there. But we eventually found it tucked away at the far end of a driveway. The covered carport turned out to be invaluable as it rained heavy all 4 days! (Thank God the roof doesn't leak!) Cute, clean, basic, cabin, nothing fancy, good value, take very quick showers! Overall good experience and happy with the rental. I would recommend that renters bring your own TP (or an upgrade would be nice) - unless you like cheap, single-ply, tissue paper quality TP - we didn't. Thanks.

Good location
It was a good location. Close to the lake and walking distance to many places in Ephraim. We did see a lot of deer while sitting outside. The kitchen is really well stocked. It was clean but It did have a strong smoker's smell and some what of a musty smell. There was a lot of rain during our stay so maybe the reason for the musty smell.

Beautiful cottage in Ephraim
The property is lovely and in a great location in a wooded area down the street from the water. The cottage was lovely, clean, and very charming. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is small for a larger family, but for our four person family it was a lovely base for our trip. There is a gas stove, fireplace, fire pit, charcoal grill, covered driveway, outdoor patio, fans, wall AC, dehumidifiers, and a beautiful sunroom. The cottage is on a slight tilt which is noticeable in the kitchen, but it was not a meaningful issue for us. The land is separate, but adjacent to another property, but the layout of the outside keeps you feeling secluded. There is no fence around the property. Overall I would highly recommend this accommodation for a quite getaway to Door County.

A Grand Slam
We’ve stayed in 2 of the 3 cottages on this property and loved both of them. Very clean, very comfortable and private. They have a deep woods feel but a block from the hustle. The owners make themselves very available if needed. We’ve been in #1 and 3 and hope to stay in 2 next year for the grand slam. Highly recommend this place but wouldn’t want to miss our chance at it.

We found the cottage to be quite, cozy and in a great location. We enjoyed meals outside on the deck and taking a short walk to watch the sunset.

Perfect for 2 or small family
Great little cabin with a screened in porch area. It was in the 50’s when we were there and the little heater worked VERY well. 5 out of 5 besides the smell of cigarette smoke when we first walked in. Super easy to communicate with the host and she replied quickly. Nice fire pit outside for nightly fires and this cabin is walking distance to town. Highly recommend!
