Check in is at 3:00 p.m. on the date of arrival.  The guest making the reservation will receive a door code the day before arrival which is active at 3:00 p.m. and is available for the duration of the stay.

Check out time is a firm 10:00 a.m.  We are unable to allow late check-outs due to the size of the property and our agreement with our housekeeping contractors.

There are nightly minimums for each stay depending on the cottage and the time of year.  Minimum nights run between 2 – 7.  Two night minimums are frequently found mid-May through mid-June; after Labor Day in September; and the last week of operation each year which is the last week of October.   At times there are gap stays that may be 1 – 3 nights during peak season.  Gap stays are posted on the Facebook Page and are first-come/first-serve.  In addition, Saturday check-out is often not available because of housekeeping availability.  If you have questions about minimums, please text:  920.559.2517 for clarification.

A 50% deposit is taken at the time of reservation via the online reservation portal found on this website.  All reservations require a credit card.

You will receive a lot of communication after making a reservation.  A confirmation is sent immediately after making a reservation.  Please read this confirmation.  There is a lot of very important information contained in it.    A week prior to the start of the reservation, I send out a reminder that you are coming to Door County for vacation and what you need to bring.  A few days prior to arrival you get a final reminder of what to bring and what the property provides as well as well wishes for your trip.  In addition to email communication there are text message reminders that come as a support to emails which are often overlooked.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

All reservations have a 45 day cancellation period. Cancellations during the cancellation period receive a full refund in the manor the guest made payment. Guests reducing the length of stay without 45 days notice are charged for the entire length of the confirmed stay. If I can rent the vacant dates we will refund those dates to the guest that cancelled.

GUEST NO SHOW: The balance of every reservation is charged 7 days prior to arrival and is non-refundable.

Yes.  I have space for two boats with trailer on property at a time.  Boat spaces are first come, first serve and must be requested at the time of reservation. There is ample room for a truck and trailer to back up into both spaces.  Exterior outlet provided for charging.  Meadowview 2 or Meadowview 3 driveway also has space for a boat and is also first come/first serve.  The driveway cannot hold two boats at the same time.

The property you are interested in is not a hotel.  They are fully-equipped cottages and do not offer housekeeping during the guest’ stay.  Once you go in, we never go back inside unless something breaks or needs tending to.  Guest stays of 2+ weeks may request housekeeping to come in and spruce up the bathroom, change bed sheets, vacuum and take out the trash.  This additional charge is available at check-out.

Yes.  This fee is added to every reservation. This is a pass-through fee that goes directly to the contracted housekeeping company that services the property. What you pay is what we are charged.

See our DOG LODGING POLICY for the policy that all dogs vacationing at Ephraim Village Cottages must adhere to.  The following cottages have a one dog limit:  Cozy Brook North, Cozy Brook South, Fireside North, Fireside South. 

Fire wood for the fire pit is located near the fire pit. Firewood for the cottage fireplace is available at the time of reservation in the “additional items” section or can be requested once on-site.  No Outside Wood Permitted.  We do not provide charcoal or lighter fluid for the BBQ grills.  I will provide any leftover charcoal and/or lighter fluid to any guests that requests it.
