About this house rental
"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 Birch Retreat apartment accommodations were very nice as described. Great large shower, but not a full kitchenette (only sink is in bathroom) but owner added lots of accessories to make it easy to do basic things. The property (and one other adjacent Plum Retreat apartment that I know of) is connected to lovely & gorgeous new Secret Gardens with a new small shop & on-site events developed by the owner; the Birch apartment is a renovated part of the re-development of the former Green Gables property. There were multiple events being held at the gardens (it was a Door County Garden Tour stop) and I can see this being even more incredible once the rest of property is finished!

The space called “Birch” was delightful. It was comfortable, clean, and near to many small towns on the bay. Colin, the host, is in the midst of creating a secret garden on the property. The perennials are just beginning to bloom! Thanks for the tour around the grounds, Colin!

Super cozy cottage just a short drive from town. Adorable courtyard with great landscaping. A perfect getaway for my mom and I to visit Door County!
