We loved our stay at this updated, clean, waterfront property. The indoor pool and hot tub were a perfect oasis after watching the sun set. We walked to several restaurants and loved the location between Fish Creek and Sister Bay.

We headed up to Door County for a quick weekend get away and stopped in at this lovely little motel on arrival. We were warmly welcomed and given keys to our requested king suite (with whirlpool) balcony room overlooking the harbor. A great rate as it was off season. Although the room might seem a bit outdated on first glance,... More

We have been staying here for many years. The staff is wonderful, always helpful and they remember us every year. The place is very well maintained. The upstairs restaurant is great, always great food and great service.

We have stayed at the Ephraim Shores a number of times over the years, and it is always wonderful to return! Our view of the harbor from our first floor Unit # 109 was super. The staff is always friendly, the rates are reasonable, and the attached restaurant is the way to go. We can't wait to return!

the hotel was very warm, comfortable and cozy. The view and location were great, directly across from the water. I will definitely stay here again. The trees still held their leaves and was gorgeous. All the shops were still open and we had a great time.

The reasons we love Ephraim Shores are many. Location, cleanliness, friendliness, view, and accessibility to everything around. We can go to the busier towns, but love coming "home" to Ephraim! And...fyi....like the way the blanket is wrapped in the sheets and love the new lounge chair in the room!

Looking for a one night stay on a weekend in Door County during early fall is almost impossible, but we found this great place. Ask for a 2nd floor room for a better view, but we were on the first floor and it was still nice. Rooms included a kitchen and living room with an actual comfortable pull out couch--... More

Wanted to have a get away anniversary weekend and looked on the internet for places that would be available and saw this one. We requested a room with a view and boy did we get one. We had a king-size suite with a 2-person jacuzzi tub with windows that looked directly out on to Eagle Harbor so our first view... More

Unbelievably friendly staff who take the time to make your stay perfect. They are always there to help, and the Second Story restaurant attached has the best food, and again, staff to make you feel at home. The rooms are great, well-lit, extremely well cleaned every day...right down to the chairs outside your door... fantastic balcony views of water, great... More

Cute little motel on main highway, so easy to find. Excellent restaurant on second floor overlooking Eagle Harbor of Green Bay. What we especially liked about it is that they own a little piece of real estate across the road, right in front of the water with nice wood lawnchairs that are for their guests only. Each evening after dark,... More
