I'm adding an update since it's been 4 years since my last review of this park, but please also see…read moremy 2 earlier reviews. They have completely rebuilt the fire tower adding an accessible ramp. While we are able to climb stairs, we enjoyed the ramp a great deal. I'm not a huge fan of open stairs and found this wide ramp that is intended for both wheelchair users and walkers to be a very pleasant way to reach the viewing platform and return to ground level. The view from the top is amazing on a clear day. We also walked part of the sunset bike trail as an out and back which was lovely. We started at the beach, headed toward the lighthouse and continued on to the bluffs/cliffs before turning around. It was about 6 miles round trip and had lots of wildflowers and beaches along the way. This is a great trail for anyone who doesn't want to navigate a lot of tree roots or rocks. Other updates: The lighthouse is being refurbished and is scheduled to reopen later in June 2026. There are now food trucks near the beach if you don't feel like bringing a picnic lunch!

Just super nice people, really nice equipment too. We had a fabulous day paddling the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan! All my cousins tried paddling, and I made a little cairn for everyone who gave it a go. #balance

There are a few drawbacks and they can be pretty bad at times. Boats like to park all around the swim area for some reason and they do not park or leave quickly leaving a lot of noxious exhaust fumes in the air. The boat peple often have barking dogs and loud radios on their boats. Also, it is posted that pets and glass containers are prohibited yet they are present every time we swim there. Absolutely no patrols to enforce the rules.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the grounds were well-maintained, and everything felt clean and cared for. One thing we really appreciated was how each campsite felt private, even though there were other campers nearby. It created a relaxing atmosphere without feeling crowded. Whether you're camping as a family, with pets, or just looking for a peaceful getaway, Wagon Trail Campground is a fantastic choice. It's quickly become one of our favorite camping spots, and we can't wait to come back! Highly recommended.

We were the only party to arrive and they made us feel SOOO comfortable zip lining. There were only two in my party, but staff still made it possible for us to do the flying squirrel.

Thank you ALL for such an amazing second experience. I cannot wait to come back soon! The staff also held our belongings for us so we didn't have to take them on the zip. When I was feeling nervous and shaken the staff made me feel safe and well secured at all. Amazing time guys! ZIP ON!

We felt the pool water and it was warm in July. The fire pit was lit at night. The property is very well maintained. We stayed 4 nights. There is no daily maid service. You put your trash and towels outside your door and they leave you a bag of new towels. Breakfast was 8-10am. Bagels, donuts, muffins, string cheese, flavored non Greek yogurt, juice machine, coffee machine, tea, cereals, packets of plain and flavored oatmeal, apples, bananas, toast, & granola bars. I wish they had boiled eggs and Greek plain yogurt for added protein. There is an ice machine and water refill station in the breakfast room. The staff kept to themselves and didn't interact with guests unless guests approached them. We drove to town. It would be over a mile walk along a country road to get to town. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and I would stay again.

My only wish was that they had smart tv or a dvd player as I find local cable television to be a bit boring. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

We went an hour and a half longer than our scheduled time and the staff was super chill and accommodating about that, and provided good local recommendations on things to do afterwards. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun activity to do.

I received the refund, then 2 days later, was charged $180 by them and they took the refund back? I called and left a voicemail but have not heard back. would recommend choosing a different company!!!!!!

We've been coming back annually to Ephraim Village Cottages and it never disappoints. The cottages…read moreare comfortable and clean. Daryl and Ruann continue to reinvest in the property and improve their guests experience year after year. They work tirelessly to exceed your expectations so you can relax, unwind, enjoy, and get away from it all. And isn't that the point? The location is superb, just steps from the Ephraim Public Beach and in the heart of everything on the west coast of Door County, tucked in between Fish Creek and Sister Bay. This is where you want to be. When you think of Door County you should be thinking of staying in a cottage to get the full-on experience. Grill a bit on your individual Weber kettle, bring your favorite foods so you don't have to eat every meal out, hang out at night by the fire pit with a nice cold beverage. This is the real deal. You want a hammock? Check. Yard games available for you and yours to have fun with? Check. Wish you could walk to Wilsons for an ice cream? Check. Wifi? Check. GOOD wifi? Check and check. Pro Tip: Daryl and Ruann maintain a binder that they update each year that is in every cabin on the newest places to eat, drink, shop, and more along with all of the other important services available throughout the county (just in case you might need them). They do the work so you don't have to.

I highly recommend Ephraim Village Cottages for your next Door County vacation.
