Perfect location. The house was well appointed for our needs and we were grateful for allowing dogs. Francis was very communicative and gracious. I have to say, I appreciated the paper and cleaning supplies.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Driving by it looks like it could use a little TLC but inside is comfy, clean and updated!! It is well equipped with everything you could need!! The location is ideal- close to beach and steps away from shops, bars and restaurants. So much to do and explore in the area!

Our family had such a wonderful week at the Apple Blossom House! The house was plenty large enough for our big clan. We had so much space to spread out and enjoy our puzzles and games together. The outdoor firepit was great for morning and evening conversations thanks to the generous supply of firewood. Everyone had a nice and comfortable place to sleep. The kitchen is well stocked for making family meals. And best of all, the location! Right around the corner from amazing views of Lake Michigan and wildly beautiful sunsets! Across the street from Joe’s with the best burgers around! Make sure to visit Tiffany’s, The Secret Garden, Miser’s Hoard, the Library and even the EZ Mart all without getting into your car❤️ It was an all around lovely week and we certainly hope to return!

The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It is within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. It is also within easy driving distance to beaches and parks in northwest Michigan.

We loved our stay at the farmhouse! Francis was excellent in responding whenever we had questions. The location was perfect. We loved being able to walk to the beach and downtown Empire, which were so close to the house. If and when we come to Empire again, we would be happy to rent this property again.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Incredible property with everything you need! Lots of beds, well equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, fenced in back yard, fire pit, BBQ Grill…. What’s not to love?
Located in the heart of Empire, MI right on the lake shore. Lake Michigan is a quick walk or even quicker drive away. Sleeping Bear Dunes is right around the corner. Close enough to Traverse City to be convenient, but far enough away to get away from the traffic and hustle and bustle. Also, if the sky is clear, there are A LOT of stars!
Easy to reserve, and great communication from the Property Manager. Highly recommended!
