Amazing place to stay!!!
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. Francis was wonderful with the communication and even went above and beyond and mail a few items the kids left behind. It is the perfect location and exactly what we were looking for family/kid friendly plus close to the beach. A well-appointed kitchen and with a great setup for eating dinner in the backyard and sitting around the fire pit telling stories! We can't wait to make it an annual trip! Thank you.

Wonderful!
This trip was just what we needed. And this house was in the perfect location for everything we wanted to do. The pictures do not do this house justice; it’s much bigger & nicer. Francis was very easy to work with. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent Week Up North
We had a great week in Empire! The house is right across the street from Joes Friendly Tavern and walking distance to Empire Beach (unbelievable sunsets). I’ve been vacationing at Glen Lake my whole life but this was my first time staying in Empire and it was a nice quiet change of pace. The house itself was clean and spacious and was stocked with everything you could need.

We will be back. The house was well-maintained, clean and full of the things you need to have a good time. I loved the backyard, wildlife and general location. EMPIRE is a beautiful little town and we are glad we discovered it here.

Awesome! Spacious house and quick walk to beautiful Empire Beach!
We had a group of 5 adults and 3 kids and the house had plenty of room for everyone to sleep, spread out and relax. You can't beat the location! The beach is such a quick walk, which is where we spent every afternoon, and even walked back at night because it was so close to watch four nights of spectacular sunsets. Location is prime for all adventures in the Sleeping Bear Dunes. We would definitely stay again!
