Birch is a private retreat, part of a lovely cottage hidden behind an ornate garden gate; It is a cozy and comfortable private apartment for 2-4 guests comprising of two large and well-appointed rooms with modern touches within a ridiculously charming Door County setting! The Green Gables the property in which it is set, is a picturesque spot in the north part of Ephraim, with its own beautiful award-winning and Smithsonian listed gardens, and is within easy walking distance to galleries,shops, mini-golf, breakfast and pizza, or a short drive from Ephraim village and the water. Birch gets lots of natural light from a large picture window at the front and from a sliding patio door at the back, which opens onto a small garden area with summery flowers. There's plenty of more open green space outdoors and around the Green Gables property. One large room has an elegant King bed, while the living room has a true Queen sofa-bed. The living room has a large and attractive library of books plus a 49 TV (with cable, Netflix, and Amazon Prime). All the bedding is non-allergenic. There is a very spacious walk-in shower enclosure within an ensuite bathroom. The apartment also is equipped with modest kitchenette facilities consisting of a microwave, fridge, toaster, coffeemaker and simple tableware/utensils. A contemporary dining table and four chairs completes the apartment, a lovely place to unwind and from which to explore Door County.

If this unit is rented, please consider the neighboring (and again, private) larger unit, VRBO #1658362. For larger parties, booking both units at once provides for an amazing family experience.

Green Gables is GROWING (both in the garden, and in great places to stay....!)

    The Birches is spacious, comfortable, and well-decorated. There is nothing cheap about anything, and the owner is very available and helpful. I would have given this 5 stars, but it is a somewhat awkward arrangement. Although there are dishes, microwave, and a small fridge, there is no kitchenette. Dishes have to be washed in the small bathrooom sink, and there's no place to put them.

    Birch was a roomy and comfy property for our weekend get away to Door County. The location was perfect for exploring along highway 42 with restaurants, galleries and coffee close by. Loved it !!!

    Love staying at this location. This is my 3rd stay. The location is so convenient. Colin has thought of everything to make our stay wonderful. Comfy bed and fluffly big towels, and lovely shower with plenty of water pressure. There's a Keurig coffee maker, an electric teapot, a microwave, and fridge. So welcoming. We will stay there on our next trip to DC for sure.

    This is a very beautifully decorated and comfortable condo. It was also well located to get to where we wanted to visit in Door County. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Needs kitchen facilities. Owner should be more available. Apartment next door is very noisy. Too expensive for cottage offered.

    Great place to stay and owner was great to work with. It’s a bit dated interior and not much of a “kitchenette.” It’s just the bathroom sink—but worked out fine for the purpose of our stay. Also very very clean!

    Lovely one bedroom in good location. Mini fridge, microwave, and kitchenware available. Quiet.The only drawback was the inability to control the temperature. Even with the vents closed and blocked, and the windows and doors open to let in warm air, it was uncomfortably chilly at times, due to the controls being in another unit.

    Spent the weekend in Door County with a friend. The communication with Colin prior to arrival was excellent along with maps and directions. The place was very clean and decorated super cute. Plenty of space for the 2 of us. Shame on me for not realizing the unit doesn’t have a kitchen but enough to get by for a few days. My only suggestions are a couple wine glasses and a fridge with a separate freezer compartment for ice. We had to buy ice for our happy hour cocktails. Ephraim is centrally located to many of the other towns and a short ride to Sister Bay.

    My spouse and I stayed 1 week during July. Host, Colin, is delightful and very responsive. The Birch unit is wonderfully located and is spacious with a comfortable bed, plenty of hot water in the shower, lots of storage space, reliable wifi, a mini-fridge, microwave & Keurig coffee maker. The living area has a large TV with Netflix & HULU available. We found it a little odd that the eating table & chairs was next to the bed and that we had to wash dishes in the bathroom sink, but it was workable. There is an upstairs unit that we were unaware of, and they have control of the thermostat. However, we could make some heat/AC adjustments to offset the upstairs settings. Unfortunately, as 'city kids' we like to enjoy the cool, quiet Door County nights but were unable to keep our patio door open because a very loud AC condenser unit was right outside. Overall, it worked for us and we would book this property again.

    Lovely home, very well appointed and maintained- we found Birch Retreat to be the perfect place to begin & end our 5-night in Door County. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and highly recommend it!
