About this house rental

From the porch/deck of this exceptional 2200sq.ft. home, enjoy the spectacular Lake Michigan sunsets. Walk 600 ft. to the Lake Michigan shore and play on the magnificent sugar sand beach that connects 35 miles of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

The back yard adjoins a nature preserve where deer, wild turkeys, fox and other wildlife are seen. The side yard rolls gently down to a mowed grass park and the edge of South Bar Lake, a 1 mile long lake just 200 ft. from the Michigan shoreline.

Within walking distance of one block to the east are the Post Office, Bank, Friendly's Tavern and Tiffany's Ice Cream Parlor. Two blocks to the east is the Public Library and Three blocks to the east is the gas station/ convenience store and Shipwreck Cafe.
This is truly a unique location.

Because our Lake Michigan home is special to us, we request great care and consideration from our renters.

Please note that sheets and towels are not supplied.

We had a wonderful week at Park Place with a glorious view of Empire Beach and South Bar Lake. The house was clean, comfortable, and the kitchen had what we needed. It was perfect for us and our two sons. The kids enjoyed coming and going on foot to the basketball court, beach and to town. We headed to the nearby Platte Point beach a few days to catch up with grandkids, and were able to get a lot of hiking in, too. Our 25-year-old even rented a bike, packed a lunch, and rode the Heritage Trail to Good Harbor and back. No matter what we did, we ended up back at Empire Beach for the sunset, a fire, and to play with grandkids at the playground. We were fortunate that the property owner, Randall, was in town and we were blessed to get to talk to him and his newly adopted dog.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much. You simply can't beat the location, just yards from a great public beach with two playgrounds for kids, fire pits, grills, basketball courts, and a smaller lake with dock. The village of Empire is right out your door, too, and Sleeping Bear park right north of you. You can watch the sunset nightly right from the deck. House was as described and fine for our needs. Beds were the worst part, fine but some of the more uncomfortable and old I've slept in in recent years. As a whole, we'd definitely return.

You cant beat the views from the deck-Lake Michigan beach, South Bar Lake and a marsh filled with beautiful birds. The house is adequate, but had a mild scent of musty which lingered. We had to bring our own sheets and towels. Enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and into quaint Empire.

Park Place provided the perfect beach/lakeside location in charming Empire. A terrific home base for exploring Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. We loved joining with others at Empire beach for nightly sunsets. We enjoyed the view of Lake Michigan and South Bar Lake from the dining room table and the great deck. The accommodations were very comfortable with a well appointed kitchen. Wifi and streaming services were also appreciated. We highly recommend at stay at Park Place. Note the property does not provide linens and towels, which we initially found odd, but in the COVID period, that was actually okay for us.

The location is perfect, the house is comfortable and homey. I think this is one of the best VRBO rentals I have used. Would do it again and again.

Started looking for a vacation rental at least 7 months prior. This spot which we’ve never seen available had an opening! Clean, comfortable, well-stocked kitchen for cooking. Beautiful views of the beach while dining on the deck! Close to many of the National Park hiking trails and many other outdoor activities. We have rented many places on the Leelanau peninsula and this place by far was the best well-kept homes. We highly recommend to anyone to quickly set a date to rent this home!
