Ephraim, Wisconsin
"Plum Retreat" is a private, and cozy-and-yet-spacious portion of an adorable cottage hiding behind an ornate garden gate, and sleeps 2-6 guests over two levels. The property is part of the picturesque "Green Gables" property in the north part of Ephraim, and is within easy walking distance to galleries, shops, mini-golf, breakfast and pizza, and a short drive from Ephraim village and the water. Green Gables itself has the flavor of a romantic bygone Americana era, and boasts beautiful manicured and award-winning gardens and additionally (in the past, and in the future!) another very large enclosed rear garden area (currently under exciting development). The property is suitable for couples or families and at night it's dark and quiet for stargazing. The house oozes feel-good charm, with lots of windows and natural light, architectural details, and plenty of space indoors and out, to play and relax in. Outside there's a fantastic patio lounge area and professional grill to enjoy, and inside a formal fireplace invites you to curl up on the sofa-bed (with an old record playing on the vintage stereo/record player) Full kitchen, with oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster etc. Upstairs there are two very large bedrooms (one with a king bed, the other with two queens), and there's a true queen sofa-bed downstairs. All the bedding is non-allergenic. Wi-fi, a 49" TV with cable channels, Netflix and Amazon Prime in the living room, and a washer and dryer upstairs. The space works well for families, or two small families to share, or just for a couple looking for a romantic or memorable Door County vacation. In response to COVID-19 cleaning and sanitizing will be thoroughly undertaken. Thank you!

Cute property, nice location. Let us check out a little later. Nice outdoor space
Cozy, quaint, relaxing. 4days of eating at great restaurants, beautiful sights. The kitchen had everything needed, fireplace was wonderful to end our day. Beds were comfortable and beautiful grounds.
Had a great fun time catching up with each other, shopping and eating tasty food!!
Plum Retreat was spacious and immaculate. Colin emailed the check in code a few days prior to arrival and entering the unit was so easy. It was a pleasant surprise to be greeted with fresh flower arrangements from the garden! Some special touches in addition to coffee pods and a well stocked kitchen were a bag of ice in the freezer and half and half pods in the frig, air freshener in the bathroom. The primary bed was super comfortable, Wi-Fi worked fast, the furnishings in the living room were also very comfortable. Nice outdoor seating and a beautiful garden to explore. Loved our stay and look forward to returning.
We can't say enough about our delightful stay at the Plum Retreat! It was spacious but cozy and homey and allowed our ladies group to have a place to call home on our weekend away from our families. Comfy beds, amenities (like facial wipes, coffee and creamers), cozy fireplace, and its own Netflix account are just some of the extras that we so appreciated. Host Colin is personable and very responsive via message or phone. What a gem of a VRBO!
Plum Retreat was a great place to stay. Clean, welcoming, full of amenities and comfort. Beautiful gardens. Unlike lots of rentals, this is larger than the photos show. We’ll be back!
My wife walked in the house and said, This place is beautiful. We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and well lit. The outside was nicely decorated with flowers. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We hope to make it back next year.
We picked this property over all others available based on location and uniformly high ratings. Very central location that made it easy to get to all planned activities between Newport, Penninsula Park and Baileys Harbor. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Very helpful and responsive host/owner. We highly recommend to others.
Very spacious! Nice location! Quiet and zen, nice outdoor space.
This rental was clean, comfortable, and up kept. It was a very good and centralized location. Colin was very easy to work with and will rent from him again, when we get back up to Door County!
Enjoyed a comfortable and cozy stay! Lots of attention to details, including labels on light switches and kitchen drawers. Unit was quiet and clean. Great location! Thanks, Colin!
2nd time we have been here . Great spot .
We stayed in the plum house and it was so nice. Even better than the photos. We stayed in winter and it was lovely..would go back and stay in the summer time..I imagine the gardens are amazing. Great place to stay and great experience with the owner. Thank you !!
Everything that was written about the plum cottage was 100% spot on. Communications with Colin were quick and timely. The cottage was fully equipped with not one thing that we could think of that was missing. The beds were extremely comfortable. And we look forward to coming here in the summer to see the beautiful gardens. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Wonderful stay in a great location right between Ephraim and Sister Bay. Very comfortable stay, we really enjoyed the fireplace and vintage record player. Would love to come back!
We escaped to Door County for two nights post-Thanksgiving and the Plum Retreat was the perfect spot for us. This spotless, quiet, and beautifully decorated space afforded us a wonderful and comfortable weekend. Colin was an amazing and responsive host. He even brought over a few necessary cooking items that were not provided in the kitchen as we hosted dinner parties both evenings. The main level common area is roomy, well laid out, and allows for views of the gardens from every window. The two upstairs bedrooms provided a bright and expansive respite after our late evenings entertaining. While we were only at the Plum Retreat for two nights, we heartily recommend it.
What a breath of fresh air! Plum cottage was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. Situated in a prime Door County location close to everything. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, and large windows provided a lot of natural light and views of the spectacular flower gardens. Colin was a wonderful host. I would definitely stay here again!
We loved our long weekend. Plenty of space in the home and tastefully decorated with beautiful gardens that are evolving .
Colin was a wonderfully responsive host and has created the perfect Door County vacation rental. This was a sister trip with 5 adult sisters and we loved everything! The beds were very comfortable, the home very clean and the location was close to everything we wanted to do in Door County. The gardens are spectacular and deserve a review of their own! We would all recommend this property and would love to stay there again!
We met with a group of cousins at Door County and stayed at Green Gables. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. The house was beautiful and very clean. It was relaxing sitting outside by the flower gardens in the morning. The house is centrally located so it is easy access to the many things to do at Door County. We highly recommend this VRBO.
We loved everything about our stay.. from the location to the property to all the little touches inside. Our host was wonderful and we had a wonderful cottage retreat.. even with cranky teenagers in tow. That just shows the magic of this place!
Beautiful property inside and out .. Gardens amazing.. Colin is an amazing host
Collin was great!
