About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Plum Retreat" is spacious, warm & beautiful, and surrounded by gardens.

"Plum Retreat" is a private, and cozy-and-yet-spacious portion of an adorable cottage hiding behind an ornate garden gate, and sleeps 2-6 guests over two levels. The property is part of the picturesque "Green Gables" property in the north part of Ephraim, and is within easy walking distance to galleries, shops, mini-golf, breakfast and pizza, and a short drive from Ephraim village and the water. Green Gables itself has the flavor of a romantic bygone Americana era, and boasts beautiful manicured and award-winning gardens and additionally (in the past, and in the future!) another very large enclosed rear garden area (currently under exciting development). The property is suitable for couples or families and at night it's dark and quiet for stargazing. The house oozes feel-good charm, with lots of windows and natural light, architectural details, and plenty of space indoors and out, to play and relax in. Outside there's a fantastic patio lounge area and professional grill to enjoy, and inside a formal fireplace invites you to curl up on the sofa-bed (with an old record playing on the vintage stereo/record player)? Full kitchen, with oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster etc. Upstairs there are two very large bedrooms (one with a king bed, the other with two queens), and there's a true queen sofa-bed downstairs. All the bedding is non-allergenic. Wi-fi, a 49" TV with cable channels, Netflix and Amazon Prime in the living room, and a washer and dryer upstairs. The space works well for families, or two small families to share, or just for a couple looking for a romantic or memorable Door County vacation. In response to COVID-19 cleaning and sanitizing will be thoroughly undertaken. Thank you!

GREEN GABLES now has FOUR great vacation rentals set within a gorgeous acre-and-a half of lush gardens! Please visit the other three listings...

In addition to THIS listing ( "Plum Retreat") please check the nearby (and also private) "Birch" Retreat, listed as VRBO # 1656219. "Birch" sleeps up to 4 people (2 in one king bed and a further 2 in a queen sofa bed). For large parties, booking both Plum and Birch together is an option that would provide a truly wonderful and flexible experience. Two other NEW vacation rentals have just been listed for 2022. VRBO listing 2724012 is a spacious gorgeous home with full kitchen for 2-4, and VRBO listing 2798225 is a stunning romantic lodge-style retreat that is truly special. Ideal for a couple, though there's also a sofa bed too. Please check them out!
