Not fancy, but quaint and nice. Location was perfect and the host was very helpful and accessible! We would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful home on Front Street. Our family of 5 came to Empire together for a family wedding. We are so grateful we found Empire Rose. The home had everything we needed, a clean and generous amount of space, yard and more. Prime location to everything, very responsive and kind owners. The beach is a short walk, our kiddos loved riding their scooters to the beach. We really appreciated our time here and thank you for having us. Looking forward to next year. THANK YOU!

My family stayed @ the ER the last few days of July and the first few days of August. We really liked it. Great location in a small beach town. The property was clean, neat and well kept. When I showed my girls pictures of the home they were not impressed but they liked it as soon as we walked through the door. The owners (very nice people) live next door so if you have any issues they'll be addressed. The location is perfect-maybe 5 minutes to the beach, 10 seconds for ice cream, 30 seconds to the grocer and 60 seconds to Joe's Friendly Tavern. Glen Arbor (north on M22) has more to offer as far as shopping and dining. We hope to be back to Empire in the next year or two and will definitely stay @ the Empire Rose when we do.

The owners of this house have done a great job of keeping this property fresh and very user friendly. I would have rated Excellent if there was a better way to manage the heat. They had several fans but think that during the hot summer days and nights, these werent effective enough. This is my only comment for improving the rating. Different weeks and different weather, it may not have mattered. Appliances are all up to date. The kitchen is stocked with all the accessories to cook with. The master bedroom is spatious with a walk in closet. Having two living rooms is also a plus if someone wants to read while the others play in the other room. Make no mistake, you are right in middle of this little sleepy town. There were many mornings where I would sit in the front room and read while watching and waving at the passers by. The nights were quiet for us. The beach is one of the best I have seen. Get there early for a parking spot. There are actually two sets of beaches, one on Lake Michigan and the other on an immediate inland lake. There are restrooms and a small pavillion. BBQ grills are spread out. There are a few places in town to spend you money. The grocer has limited offerenigs and convenience pricing. The bar restaurant is also the only game in the downtown and is also priced accordingly. There is a Post Office, ice cream shop, water sports and several specialty shops ranging from Art to collectables. There are some shops outside of the downtown but we did not explore them. Everyone was friendly in town and at the beach. I didnt witness any drunken or lewd behavior. The beach was a 10 minute walk and offered the convenience of popping home for a nap. The view at this beach is unique and breathtaking, with dunes to the north and south. We traveled to neighboring towns and experienced the M22 feeling. This was a nice change from the drone of a big city. My only regret was not going down to the beach and having a bonfire in one of the many designated spots.
