Cute house in Empire. We rented for the 5K race. Starting point right down the road. Perfect location for Sleeping Bear Dunes NP

Empire cottage

Thank you for sharing your cottage! It’s the perfect location for walking to the beach, downtown Empire, Shipwreck Cafe, and Grocer’s Daughter! The house is beautifully decorated and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking! We had the best Lake Michigan week!

Great location for visiting the dunes and trails

The property was as pictured and as advertised. Everyone had a great time, and communication was excellent. We initially received the wrong door code, and the management company responded immediately with the correct code.

Relax in Empire!

We’ve been going to Empire for over 20 years and love the area! Sleeping bear is a great location, we loved the outdoor space, deck with comfy furniture. Our dog enjoyed the spacious yard. We all enjoyed the deer that spend a lot of time in the neighborhood. King bed was very comfortable. Nice kitchen, lots of space in the bathroom. Living room and dining area very spacious. Very enjoyable end of season getaway. Thank you

Great location, some issues

The place was mostly up to date and notably newly renovated. The beds were comfortable. The shower had nice hot water. The washer and dryer worked well and was a plus with three kids. Internet worked great and there was a large selection of games for the kids. However, we did not care for the cameras around the home (front yard, back yard and front porch) and GoogleHome sensors which were throughout the home and even mounted to the ceiling. The kitchen didn’t have any blinds or curtains which overlooked the street and busy walking path. There was no DVD player remote. Half of the outlets in the living room and hall way area did not work. No guard rails on the deck which is a safety concern. We also had dresser drawers with someone else’s clothes in them and found hairs that were clearly not our own in the twin size beds. The kitchen was decently stocked, however found it strange that were personal medical supplies in the pantry cabinet (tube feeding supplies). I feel like the home could’ve used some sand toys for families using the beach, some beach chairs/umbrella and a laundry basket. Aside from this, the place is in a great location and did the job for our vacation to Empire.

Fall break fun

Had a wonderful time here for fall break. Family plus my Mom and routine “up north” fun through all the small towns, shopping and vineyards. Beach was close by for sunset, morning hikes…all was good. We had a great long weekend. Would stay again for sure.

EVERYTHING & A Kitchen Sink!

We absolutely adored our time here. We walked to the beach and downtown for ice cream. The home has endless games and movies to watch. The fire pit and comfortable outdoor space makes for some amazing star gazing. The kitchen felt like I was cooking at home, it had everything and some. The was one of the best places we've stayed up north. Totally recommend
