The town of Ephraim is perfect as far as location - bit of privacy - a lot less traffic than Sister Bay. All "resorts" have an older feel, but this one truly does -- nothing appears to be updated, stuck in the 70's/80s.
The positves:
* Awesome Staff
*Awesome View if you choose full harborside. Great patio with a perfect little table and chairs, complete with floral arrangements
* Free wine and cheese from 4PM til it's gone (usually 9)
* Cookies & bottle water upon check-in
* Door County Coffee, water, lemonade, hot cocoa & tea at your disposal off the lobby
* Cold breakfast that you can toast or heat yourself
* Large indoor pool and hot tub attached
Cons:
* Bathroom in the double queen room is unacceptably tiny. We only had 3 in this room, but it can fit 4 and there is no way that you can fit more than one in there at a time. That makes everything you do take so much longer waiting your turn.
* Long hair was on everything, from the carpet, to the chairs to the "fresh towels" - in which I put one to my face after my shower, only to spit out a long hair that was most definitely not mine.
* There were food pieces, crumbs and toys under the cushions of the chairs in our room (#203)
* Breakfast was less than ideal for my dietary restrictions. I could only have bananas and fruit in lobby. No plain oatmeal, everything had to be made and toasted yourself. (No eggs, although my boys microwaved the frozen Jimmy Dean egg sammies)
*Fitness room could not be accessed with your key
