History of the Anderson House:
Historic Anderson House was built in three stages by Asslag Anderson, a Norwegian immigrant. After completing the dock and Anderson General Store, he built a small three-room house and a rather large summer kitchen behind the house. The store has a second-floor apartment which the family used for additional living space. In 1864 the two-story log home was constructed, a free-standing structure very close to the original house. In the early 1870’s the two homes were connected, a front porch was added, and a second story added above the first sunroom is the only part of the current configuration not built by the Anderson’s. Originally constructed as a working greenhouse in the 1960’s; then in the 1980’s, it was remodeled into a four seasons room.
With the completion of the house, the second floor boasted ten bedrooms and the house become one of Ephraim’s first guest houses. A grand piano graced the living room and the second floor had a bathroom, only used by guests, the family used the outdoor privy.
Anderson House is steeped in history and once again joyously welcoming guests!

Our group of four women (75+ age group) enjoyed our stay at Anderson House, with its prime Door County location and rich history. Especially lovely and comfortable was the "new wing" (kitchen/dining and greenhouse-turned-TV room). Paul and his wife were very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our one concern is that older guests with ambulatory limitations should be advised that the stairway to second floor is steep and narrow (caution needed in the descent) and access to the large bathtub tricky enough so that only one of us felt comfortable using it.

Older home, rich with history, right near the water. Beautiful sunsets, walking distance to many things. Great place to share with family with room to spread out. We had a wonderful time.
