About this house rental

Park Place Guest House at Empire Beach
Vacation at the beach in this two bedroom, two bathroom 1900 sq. ft. house / cottage that partially overlooks Lake Michigan and South Bar Lake. Walk the tree lined sidewalk 600 ft to the Lake Michigan shore and play on the sand beach. Lake Michigan water level fluctuates every year. Visit Empire Michigan webcam for current lake conditions. There is extensive playground equipment at the beach. The Village of Empire which is seven miles south of Glen Arbor is home to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Visitor Center. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Bike Trail winds through the woods and is paved from Empire to the 'Dune Climb' and continues into Glen Arbor. The trail has been extended north along M-22 to Bohemian Road.
From the rear bedroom window of Park Place Guest House view deer feeding in the nature preserve.
Within walking distance of one block to the east are the Post Office, Bank, Friendly's Tavern, the Bicycle and Surf Shop and Tiffany's Ice Cream Parlor. Two blocks to the east is the Public Library. Three blocks to the east is the gas station/convenience store and the Shipwreck Café. This is truly a unique location.
Park Place Guest House has the appearance of being one structure with Park Place Empire, but each is totally separate and has complete privacy from the other.
Because our Lake Michigan home is special to us, we request great care and consideration from our renters.
We do not supply sheets and towels.

This property is in the best location. 5 minutes from beach and beautiful backyard sunsets. The house itself is very roomy. Enough space for 6 adults. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, parasailing (traverse city) walking the beach and having a sunset campfire on the beach with smores. Great week. We would stay again.

Great place to stay when visiting Empire. Steps away from Lake Michigan. Much roomier than we thought prior to arriving. Was nice to have an open second floor loft with 3 beds for the kids and the master bedroom on main floor not far but not too close. Owner very responsive to any communication .Will stay here again in the future. Parking in carport very snug so just be careful pulling in and out not to hit pillars.

Location is everything for this beachy loftstyle home in Empire. Our family loved that we could walk everywhere we wanted to go (3 minute walk to Lake Michigan beach, same to main drag of town) and have short drives to nearby attractions such as the Sleeping Bear Lakeshore, trails, Glen Arbor. The home was large enough for us to be comfortable and we never really even utilized the basement area or washer and dryer as our days were filled up with all the fun the area has to offer. The larger kitchen made cooking easy as well as the Weber grill outback. Though very close to its sister property, it has complete privacy and was very quiet other than a lot of both foot and vehicle traffic going by, as you're one of the last houses on the road to the public beach. We visited over 4th of July weekend and were not sure of what to expect, but were very pleased that even on the busiest days, it was still a very family friendly area and we never felt like it was too crowded. We enjoyed a fantastic fireworks show from the window of the spacious master bedroom, too! If youre looking to explore Empire and its surrounding area this is a great rental, especially for families of young children.

We absolutely loved our stay here and were pleasantly surprised at all the room we had between the 3 floors!! We loved being in walking distance to everything. The only complaint we had was the sewer smell when we first arrived, but were able to resolve this by opening the windows which we ended up leaving open during our stay, which was lovely to wake up to the sound of the water! The only recommendation we had would be to update the pan collection to a non stick set😜

The location is wonderful! You can walk to the beach and to businesses in Empire. We saw multiple deer every day behind the house. The property was clean and well stocked. It had lots of hooks-- that is so helpful. The only drawback was having to pack towels and sheets, but that is clearly listed. We enjoyed exploring Empire, Sleeping Bear and Glen Arbor. We would definitely stay again.

This property is perfect for families that love the Michigan shore! Just a quick one minute easy walk and you can be at the shore playing, soaking up the sun or hunting for great rocks. It’s so convenient to everything.

This property is exactly where you want to be in Empire — a short walk from the beach and from downtown. You can see the lake from the living room. The carport made loading and unloading very convenient, especially with the rain we got during our weekend. The kitchen is large and nicely equipped. We had everything we needed to cook breakfast, including a coffee maker and filters. There are two large bathrooms with showers. The main bedroom is large and comfortable. We didn’t sleep upstairs but there are three beds up there and some extra seating. The property was homey and had everything we wanted without being cluttered. We had a wonderful stay. I will definitely try to stay here again the next time I’m in the area.
