Owners and staff friendly and helpful. Clean and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Breakfast offerings just ok. One complaint--the bottom fitted sheets were too short for the bed and kept coming off and wadding up during the night. Very uncomfortable. We did not report this to the owners.

I apologize Michael! As a sole proprietor it is obviously a ball I dropped. I take full responsibility and trust that the 4 out of 5 means you were relaxed and refreshed after your vacation. Hope to see you again.

Great place for a weekend stay
This was our first time staying at this lodge and we enjoyed our stay. The lodge is located in town and just one block off the main street. Ephraim is a good central location for the whole Door County experience. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and the shower looked like it was recently retiled. There is a free continental type breakfast of coffee/tea, yogurt, microwave oatmeal and fresh fruit suck as bananas and nectarines, just enough to get your day started. Our host was very accommodating often asking how we are doing every time we saw him. He also offered suggestions for sight seeing and to where to eat.

Very clean property in an excellent location
My wife and I recently completed a 4-day, 3-night stay in Door County. We decided to book a place new to us, the Village Green Lodge in Ephraim. We were very pleased with our decision to stay at the Village Green. Our room (a 1-bedroom suite) was exceptionally clean. The suite was not huge but was larger than a traditional hotel room. A bedroom area was separate from the living area. The living area included a sofa, lounge chair, table with two chairs, tv and electric fireplace. The additional space was nice for our 3-night stay. There was a small fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker and a cabinet stocked with glasses, dishes, etc. The bathroom was clean but a bit small. It was fine for us, however. The location of the property is excellent. About a 1-2 block walk to the beach, the Old Post Office (great fish boil and breakfast) and the Chef's Hat restaurant. We are likely to book this property again.

Hello Anonymous! So kind of you to relate your positive vibes here at the Village Green Lodge! We have always focused on a clean and relaxing experience to folks who want the adults only atmosphere and a comfortable base camp to explore Ephraim and all things Northern Door. For a different and cozy feeling don't forget about our winter hours. Door County is magical in the winter and very quiet! Thanks again and all the best, hope to see you again in 2024!

We had a wonderful weekend staying here. Very clean and friendly. Even the other guests staying here were awesome. The only thing missing was a coffee maker in the room. (we like our morning coffee and were up earlier than the coffee was ready downstairs)

Hello Jo Anne,While I appreciate the 3 stars obviously we missed the mark of your expectations. What is a bummer is neither you or your husband provided real time input which I may have been able to correct while you were here. When Scott dropped off the keys a day early I asked him twice if everything was ok and he assured me yes, with no explanation as to why you were leaving early. I will reach out to you directly to see what may have been done to make your trip more enjoyable.
