Extra special- anything we needed was there- had to do a few minor fixes but then I have been an electrician for 45 years- the owner was very responsive

We had an amazing time in Empire. The owner of this home has thought of everything you will need to feel right at home. It was very clean, had very comfortable beds, central air system, grill, fire pit, and was walking distance to downtown and Empire Beach. This home fit our family of eight perfectly. Empire is the perfect location if you are wanting to center yourself near, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. All are 10-30 min away. You will love this home.

This is our third year at Mariana's and we are so in love with the house! We have stayed at many different homes in Empire and this is by far the best for our group. The home is a close walk to everything and there is so much attention to detail from decor to necessities. It is the perfect size for a small group (we had 6 adults) with plenty of space for eating, cooking , laughing and a great outdoor fire pit. Host is wonderful and excellent communication. We will be back next year!

We had such a wonderful stay! This really is a prime location - right on the main road in Empire - walkable to shops, restaurants and the beach. The home is beautiful and well appointed with everything you could need. You can tell that a lot of care has gone into curating each room with interesting art and comfortable furniture. We loved sitting on the porch near the butterfly bushes which attract many hummingbirds and monarchs. Thanks for a lovely stay, Mariana!

Lovely, roomy house where our family felt at home! Just a few blocks from Empire beach, where we watched many a sunrise and sunset. The house is centrally located, near all the highlights of Leelanau County and minutes from Sleeping Bear dunes. It was so relaxing sitting on the porch in the morning drinking our coffee.

This was our family’s second stay at this charming house. It is truly the most comfortable home away from home I’ve ever experienced. LOVELOVELOVE

My husband and I rented this property in October. The house was just as advertised (other than an improved staircase to the second floor). We loved the location and proximity to the small businesses in the area, and access to biking and hiking trails. The kitchen is well-equipped, other than a vegetable peeler... we purchased one and happily donated it for the next renters. :-) We spent time on the front porch, and near the fire. Great tv and cable with ability to connect to Netflix. The homeowner was accommodating, generous, and easy to work with!

The house was everything we could ask for and more. Great location, it was amazing being able to walk to the beach everyday. Clean and cozy with ample space indoors and outdoors to lounge. We look forward to booking again!

A wonderful family vacation in a home as comfortable as home. My parents, who are in their 80s, stayed in the downstairs bedroom, right next to the bathroom, was perfect for them. Our children enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the basketball court. Empire beach is breathtakingly beautiful, the sunsets pure delight. Thank you for sharing your home!

This charming rental is amazing, clean bright and well-equipped. Visited during the pandemic, so some local stuff was closed or operating under a limited basis, which made us feel safer really. We had to make some changes and Marianna was incredibly patient and responded quickly to all our questions!
