Clean and comfortable in a great location

My friends I enjoyed our visit to Empire. The home is in a great location to enjoy all that Empire and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore has to offer. The place was easy to access, very clean and all the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed staying here.

loved it!

Second year staying here. Can't get any closer to the Empire Lake Michigan Beach. Lovely home. TV went out on second morning and the owners were there very quickly to replace it. Our dog Lily came too. She loved the beach and finally went swimming this year. The home is spotless, owners are friendly and available. Comfortable, close to everything, nice and quiet. We''ll see you next year.

Excellent location

The living room, dining area and kitchen are larger than it looks in the pictures. We were very comfortable with 8 people. It's a short walk to the beach. The house is supplied with plenty of dishes, towels, hangers, silverware, etc. We would stay here again.

Wonderful week!

We rented this home for our family with adult children. So convenient to be a 5 min walk from Empire Beach and South Bar lake. The home is very clean and well equipped. The owners have done a great job!
