Walk to Everything Ephraim has to Offer! Pet Friendly! Great Wifi!

Welcome to Collings Summer House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! You'll be in the heart of Ephraim while staying at this adorable cottage within walking distance to beaches, shopping, restaurants and recreation activities! Located right on Water Street across from Eagle Harbor, you'll be in the center of the action, yet feel worlds away in your peaceful retreat! Sleeps up to 4 with 1 bedroom and a pullout couch in the main living area. Enjoy reading a book in the sunshine on the outdoor patio.

We love our furry family members and welcome yours too. Pets are allowed with prior approval. There is a fee of $50 per dog/per night, (maximum of 2 small dogs or 1 large dog) which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date. The cottage is small so active dogs may have a hard time in the small space.

This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors and municipal restrictions, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, weddings, or other gatherings.

Great Wi-Fi signal so you can work remotely and do Zoom meetings!

Great location!
The cottage is done well, clean, and superb location! Communication with the management company was always so quick. It is a lot smaller than I imagined-my first house was 800 sq ft and this felt like half that size! The bed and pillows were ok-could be firmer for my liking but could be great for others. The pullout coach is not comfortable so I wouldn’t have that as a sleeping option. I have yet to stay in place that has blackout shades but that would completely enhance the stay! Overall knowing what I know now, we’d still stay again-it was clean and so cute inside and again location is superb!

Great Location to enjoy some time in Door County
We were only in Door County for two nights so location was pretty important. Nestled between Fish Creek and Sister Bay this is a perfect place. We did dinners in Sister Bay, spent some time in Peninsula state park which is minutes away, enjoyed some vineyards etc. Everything with the property was great!

A fantastic cozy stay in Ephraim
My daughter and I stayed here for three nights in June 2023 and loved it. The cottage was clean and even though it's not very big, it had all the amenities we needed. The fold out bed in the living room was comfortable for my daughter and the bed in the bedroom was comfortable for me. The location can't be beat as it's only a short walk to the places like Wilson's and the Chef's Hat. For a cozy and comfortable stay close to everything in Ephraim, I highly recommend the Summer Cottage.

Adorable place, just on a busy road
Place was lovely and so clean - we had an excellent time being cozy! It is on a very busy road, though - which is understandable as there's only like one road through Door County. So it's very convenient, but just not great for having a dog or taking walks. Also wished they advertised that the check-in time isn't until 4pm. Otherwise, great stay.

Centrally located yet quiet country cottage
Exceptionally clean and well equipped. Surprisingly quiet for it's location, just a few blocks walk to Ephraim. Great central location to get too all upper Door Peninsula sites. However the owner's use of Superhog for guest verification is a huge turn-off. They are not properly introduced, so appear as scammers, demanding photos of personal ID, utility bills, etc and threatening you can't check in without providing them, technical issues opening the jpg we finally agreed to send...totally unprofessional. This created distrust needlessly. The owners were great though. There was a malfunction of the dehumidifier and they ran right over to fix it.
