Summary:
The Salisbury House has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, a private yard, back deck, and is located across from the park, in the Village of Empire!
The Space:
This comfortable three-bedroom home sleeps up to six guests, with queen beds in each bedroom. The primary suite includes a jacuzzi tub and separate shower, while the shared guest bathroom offers a shower/tub combination. The open-concept main living area is ideal for gathering, and the backyard deck provides a great space for outdoor dining during warmer months.
Located on a quiet street in the Village of Empire, the home sits directly across from a small neighborhood park with green space, a baseball diamond, and public tennis courts—perfect for families and relaxed outdoor time.
Surrounded by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this quiet and quaint retreat is just three blocks from Empire’s Lake Michigan beach. The home is also within walking distance of village shops and dining, making it easy to enjoy Empire without needing to drive.
A short drive brings you to the Heritage Trail, the Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor Center, the Dune Climb, and some of Northern Michigan’s most iconic views at Pyramid Point, Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, and Empire Bluffs. Empire Beach offers two distinct waterfront areas—Lake Michigan and South Bar Lake—ideal for swimming, beach days, and small-boat fishing.
The public beach area features a playground, basketball and volleyball courts, restrooms, picnic areas, fire pits, and a swimming dock. Be sure to plan for sunset—Empire is known for its unforgettable evening skies. Bring a chair, a drink (no glass on the beach), and enjoy Northern Michigan at its best.
