Ephraim, Wisconsin
Built in 1910, the Yeoman’s Cottage - a craftsman style home, has been a beloved summer home for our family for 98 years and five generations.
Our favorite feature is the wrap-around porch for cocktail hour at 5 and the sunset, of course! The priceless view includes the uninhabited bluffs of Peninsula State Park, as well as, Horseshoe and Chambers Islands.
BEWARE! Once you have enjoyed the pleasures of the porch — with a cup of coffee or a cocktail — and taken in the spectacular views — you may never want to leave!
5 Bedroom - 2 King, 2 Queen, 2 Twin
3 Full Bathroom - 2 Ensuite, 1 Collective
Access to the private dock and pebble beach is via a 1920’s flagstone path with stone staircase. The concrete dock extends to the water, providing easy access for swimming and paddle boarding. (Too shallow for tying up a boat this year)
The enchanting country kitchen boasts a cozy breakfast nook where you can enjoy gazing through the large windows into the surrounding woods. Open shelving stores all the dishes and cookware needed to produce meals for a crowd, and a small pantry holds additional appliances and supplies. Gas Grill just outside the door.
The screened in dining porch provides protection from the weather while giving the illusion of being in a tree-house overlooking the lake.
There are 4 bedrooms in the main house, 2 up and 2 down, with a full bathroom downstairs for everyone use and a full bathroom upstairs in the Primary Suite. The GardenCottage suite is a separate building with Bedroom (Queen) and Full Bath.
Located only ¾ mile from the center of the Village of Ephraim and a 5-minute drive to Peninsula State Park. Sister Bay sits just ten minutes north.

Great memories here!
Wonderful place for a family stay. It was out 6th visit and we have already booked our 7th. Loved being on the water.
Fantastic place for a family stay. Feels like you’ve been transported in time. Lakeside dock made the vacation. Charming authentic house doesn’t have air conditioning, but wasn’t a problem as temperatures at night in June were plenty comfortable. Highly recommend for a family gathering.
Everything a group is looking for when it comes to a classic lake cabin experience.
This house was perfect - conveniently located, great charm, beautiful views. It had everything we needed to make our stay a perfect getaway. The kitchen is fully stocked and easy to cook in. Cannot beat the sounds and views from the master. Will definitely come back here again!
Love the new dock!
The Yeoman's Cottage was perfect for our family. Upon arrival we met Leslie who showed us around the cottage and provided us with the history of the home and the Yeoman family. We found the Porch to be our favorite gathering place to start the day and end the day with a beautiful sunset. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities needed for our stay as well as plenty of room for everyone. We have been visiting Ephraim for over 35+ years and this home was spot on for our family of 10. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this special house. Sue and Tom B.
This home is full of character and perfect for making memories with family or friends. We had a great weekend celebrating my parents 50th anniversary. It’s close to the state park and other Door County activities but also is a fun place to be on its own with waterfront and great porches for spending the morning or evening.
All the comforts for a family gathering, 7 adults, 2 children. Fabulous site, secluded feel, away from (but very near) hubbub of Ephraim, water front, fantastic wraparound porch, sunsets and views get no better. Much thanks to the owner for keeping this classic available. Everything we were hoping for. Looking forward to another visit.
This is a beautiful old home. It was built in the early 1900’s. Not much has changed from the time it was built. ( Structurally). The porch over looking the lake is worth the trip alone. Let me finish by saying that we have already booked our stay for next September.
