The owners were very easy to communicate with.
Everything was great. The house had everything! Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend this with 2 couples or family. Good location and very convenient to all Empire attractions but easy to get to Glen Arbor or TC. Definitely highly recommend.

Gorgeous house beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the outside with all the flowers, birds, & deer.The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. It is close to a lot of towns. We loved our stay. House was warm with a fan & windows open. Would suggest air-coditioner.

Turner Empire was exactly what we wanted and needed for our trip to visit Sleeping Bears National Park. Great location to the Park, Empire, Glen Arbor and wonderful beaches. The cottage is very updated and has lots of charming and practical decor/ furnishings. It was a very pampering experience. The yard is very private and beautiful with good parking and lounge areas. Owner's are friendly, easy to reach and accommodating. We will want to stay again, when we come back in the future!

This trip was a celebration of life for my deceased husband. The VRBO we had stayed at during COVID, so very special memories. The rental is immaculate, comfortable and uplifting. So glad my dates worked out !

Turner Empire is in the perfect location! Just moments to Glen lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire Beach and the adorable Glen Arbor. This home is welcoming from the moment you arrive with attention to every detail to add to comfort and enjoyment during your stay. We took advantage of the back deck that offers both a gas and wood fire pit, covered and uncovered seating and the lovely views of wildflower gardens that surround the home! We will for sure stay again!

This home was super clean, just as described. The location was central and perfect while still feeling secluded. Every detail was thought through for an easy, very comfortable stay. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for having us!

A very charming and well stocked home. It is located near many local attractions. The home has very nice outdoor areas - on the large front porch and in the large back year. We enjoyed the home immensely.

This house was perhaps the best appointed house we've ever stayed in. It had everything we wanted from blender to bug spray and a ton in between. Only regret is that it is located on a busy main street and you can periodically hear the passing cars; otherwise, it's perfect and the hosts could not have been more responsive to our needs.

My husband and I and our 2 friends had a great time staying at Turner Empire! Everything was spotlessly clean from kitchen appliances, cupboards, drawers and dishes to bedrooms and bathrooms. The rooms were nicely decorated with fun fall decorations! There wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere! There are lots of fun activities and places to explore nearby. We enjoyed hiking in the dunes area, a play in Traverse City and a fabulous dinner at Trattoria Stella! The owners are very nice! I highly recommend Turner Empire!!

A perfect place- clean, quiet and stocked with everything you need. We especially loved the large house and all the backyard (and porch) amenities. Since I made the reservations I was the hero of the weekend. Nice to have Glen Arbor so close too.
Thanks so much!

Property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Owners took great care to equip with all the essentials and MORE! We appreciate the responsiveness when communicating with them. Hope to travel back here soon!

We loved Turner Empire! What a great place to relax and rejuvenate. The porch was shady on a hot day, and the backyard had great seating for hanging out, eating and grilling.
It was literally the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in and we’ve rented many, many houses over the years. The house had literally everything we could possibly want, and made it easy to cook at home. But it was also close to both Glen Arbor and Empire, Sleeping Bear dunes and 30 minutes from Traverse City, Leland and wineries.
It did not have air conditioning, but the downstairs stayed cool even in almost 90 degree heat.
Linda and Bob were very welcoming and responsive - highly recommend this place!

This home was perfect for our family of 5 and had so many little touches that made it comfortable to unpack and feel at home at the end of a busy day. The space was beautifully decorated and very clean. Amazing location to go explore and a great space to relax as a family.

We were here for a wedding. The property was immaculate. Was even better than listed. Especially enjoyed the back deck area and the occasional deer in the brush. Would definitely stay here again.
2.0
We had a nice stay at this property, but afterward the owner charged us for damage (a hole in the deck) that we did not do. The hole had been present throughout our stay, so it must have been left by previous guests.
We contested the charge and explained our awareness of the hole to the owner, but she stated that she was not interested in hearing from us and would not refund the charge. I feel that the appropriate response in this situation would be for the owner to check with the previous guests to see what they knew about the damage.
We are responsible guests and have never received a negative guest rating for a short-term rental. I would not recommend this stay to friends or family.

We had a lovely stay here! We especially enjoyed sitting outside in the morning sipping coffee, surrounded by the trees. The house was very clean. It was set up well and had everything we needed. The location made it easy to get over to Glen Arbor for the afternoon, which we did. Thank you for a wonderful getaway weekend!

The moment we pulled in we were in heaven. Such a cute house tucked back in the woods. Plenty of space inside and out for our family of 4. We enjoyed the many amenities. Bob and Linda were very prompt with communication. The area is beautiful with lots to do and we look forward to coming back in the future. Thank you again!

My hubby enjoyed our stay. The host/property had everything you would ever need. Great location.
10.0
This was the best stocked short term rental we’ve ever stayed at. Everything we needed was available, and then some. The space was clean and well organized. Communications with the host were excellent and check in/out very simple, although there was some confusion with the process due to different instructions from VRBO vs. the host themselves for our delayed arrival. The only downside for us was that one of the three beds in the home is a child's bed, and not very comfortable for an adult due to the mattress being supported underneath with two boards that had shifted to the head of the bed, leaving the middle of the bed unsupported. The host had already offered to supply a blow up mattress and extra bedding before we even arrived. I had accepted the offer but didn't see the blow up at the site. My adult son found a way to remain comfortable in the bed, so we didn't contact the owners about the blow up mattress, although I'm certain they would have immediately solved the issue for us if needed. The cost was high for the space, but I put that to high season in a resort town. Regardless we appreciated the late availability of the space as it was worth it to us to be close to family. I do recommend the space to others for family stays.

Everything was perfect for our group of three adults and water-loving lab. It was extra clean and had lots of thoughtful touches throughout-- including garden roses in vases during our week long stay. We enjoyed visits by twin fawns and many hummingbirds. Everything the area has to offer was a short drive away. This is definitely the place to stay if you enjoy scenic views, hiking, birding, beach days, and small town treasures.
10.0
The house was everything we were looking for: great proximity to things to do (beach on Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes, restaurants, and shops), a wonderfully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and cozy shared spaces. We would absolutely stay here again if we’re ever in the area.

This property was perfect refuge for our M22 Challenge. Close to Glen Arbor, but far enough away for privacy. Looking forward to next year!

This beautiful space was like staying at a friend’s house! It has everything you could need or want and more. It is spacious, clean, updated, and comfortable and communication was excellent. The location was centered between all towns we wanted to visit. We will definitely be back!

We’ve been visiting the area for the last four years and this is our favorite place that we’ve stayed. Great location, really close to the dunes and to Glen Arbor. It was a perfect place for our weekend getaway.

Our family had a wonderful time staying in this house. It is equidistant to Empire and Glen Arbor. It sits back in the woods and has beautiful landscaping all around the property, as well as a dedicated outdoor fire pit, bbq and plenty of outdoor sitting space. The interior is gorgeous, well maintained and comfortably furnished for my family of four. The owners are pet friendly and our dog had a great time too! The kitchen was well equipped, there was a washer/dryer and the house was stocked with cleaning supplies. Easily one of the nicest “up north” houses we’ve rented over many years of summer vacationing in the Bear Dunes.
