The Hillside Waterfront Hotel is one of the oldest buildings in Ephraim; it’s one of the last remaining original Graceful Hotels. Built-in 1890, it has since earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places. Much of the village was built around this beautiful Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast, making it easy for guests to explore Ephraim on foot. Visit the many art galleries, wineries, breweries, artisanal cheese-makers, historic buildings, and guest lectures at various adult learning centers around the Peninsula. During the summer, visitors and locals alike enjoy spending time on the waters of Eagle Harbor. Kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and romantic cruises are especially popular in this region. During the colder months, the ground is covered in a pristine blanket of snow that’s perfect for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.  We are consistently rated as one of the best places to stay in Door County.  So, view our website and make a reservation soon!
