We enjoyed staying at this place. It is very peaceful and it is a part of nature as it is surrounded by the woods. The house itself is very nice and spacious. The kitchen has plenty of pots and pans.

This house was not as big as the pics made it look. It was just an average house- but it worked for us. Our trip was to be out in local towns hiking and taking in all the fall colors and beautiful sights of Michigan. We really were only at the house to sleep and get ready in the mornings. Definitely needs some updating. But over all it was ok.

This is a spacious home located very close to great hiking trails and a public beach on Lake Michigan

Living space was clean. A keurig coffee maker was provided but with only one k-cup provided. That was very disappointing. Except for the master bedroom, all other beds were suitable only for young to teen children. 3 bathrooms are fine. very small galley kitchen. Garage filled with used furniture, full garbage bags & pizza boxes all around. We were able to park in the garage, but it wasn’t a pretty site. There was an overflowing “herby Kirby” at the end of the driveway for our entire stay. Landscaping was neglected.

The size of the house and location was good. We liked the quaint little town of Empire and proximity to Empire Beach. We also enjoyed the many deer sightings.

The house was comfortable and the outdoor space and deck were great. Good family spot for walking downtown or going to the dunes.

Clean, comfortable and spacious. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy and enjoy each other's company. Rear yard with fire pit - a plus. The area is quiet and close to everything on the main street.

The house was very convenient to all the sites and attractions at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Empire Beach just a few minutes away. The house had ample space for my family of five and all the comforts of home.

Very warm nice big house. Kids loved the bunk bed. Beautiful location and view around. 30 minutes drive to Crystal Mountain.
Would definitely stay there in the summertime.
