Situated between downtown Traverse City and the majestic shoreline of Lake Michigan, our home is tucked away amongst the rolling terrain and towering trees of Northern Michigan.

Come and enjoy your cabin-away-from-home at the Sleeping Bear Lair in Empire, Michigan. Nestled within a beautifully wooded 3+ acre estate, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom house is the perfect spot for 8 guests but can accommodate 10 upon request. The house is centrally located near Crystal Mountain, Benzie & Leelanau County snowmobile trails, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Glen Arbor, Cedar, Traverse City and much more. The spacious living room invites you and your guests into this comfortable home with 300-mbps Wi-Fi and four Roku TV's setup to play your favorite streaming services. Be sure to bring your log-in information. We have provided games for all ages and entertainment, and feel free to "Bring a Book, Leave a Book" with the growing collection of reading materials. Since the kitchen is the heartbeat of a home, we have equipped it with all the cookware you will need, including a crock pot, toaster, griddle, blender and a well-stocked Keurig coffee & hot cocoa station. Whether you are planning a family vacation, a girls' weekend, a golf trip or a snowmobiling adventure, you always need a place to come back to that screams “Rest and Relaxation”, and that is precisely what you will get at the Sleeping Bear Lair.

The location is great as well. We enjoyed walks in the woods on the property, playing corn hole and football outside, and visiting nearby Glen Arbor for shopping, wine tasting, and hiking.

I wish we all could have stayed longer. Everything needed was laid out impeccably! A couple of small items: the amount of toilet paper was insufficient -- what was described was, 3 rolls would be provided in each bathroom. Instead each bathroom had only partial rolls. We had to go out to purchase more! Paper towel was also in short supply.Other then these small items, we all loved the Sleeping Bear Lair... It helped us all get rested and ready for race day! ##### Vic & Beth A. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haley B.

We had 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 infants and there was plenty of space for all of us. The property was very clean, something very important to us with the babies on the ground. Check in was very easy and we had a couple of questions throughout the week that Michael was very prompt to respond to. The location was perfect, very centrally located to everything we wanted to do so nothing was more than 20-25 minutes away. The property makes you feel like you’re in the wooded mountains, but then you can drive to the beach very quickly! It really is the best of both worlds. ##### Haley B.

The property grounds were spectacular and had everything for the family; great fire pit, large driveway, sandbox for the kids, walking path. We cooked multiple nights and was well stocked with everything we needed. The house had a perfect set up where each bedroom had its own privacy from everyone else. The location was good for everything we wanted to do. 20-30 minutes to everything; sleeping bear, traverse city, Glen haven, fish town. Lake Ann is only 10 min away. Would definitely stay here again and would recommended it for all families ##### Garrett H. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Monica W. Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sleeping Bear This is a 5 star stay that we will go back too with friends and family. We will share and promote SB because we had such a great time. Only gave 4 starts due to the grill. The cleaning service does a great job except the grill had not been cleaned in an unusually long time. Almost a whole roll of paper towels and 2 scrubbies we had in our trip bag.Probably need to just replace that and make sure cleaning looks at it.Just noting the grill for owner reference. Do not and I mean do not let that stop you from coming here. You will only regret it if you do not book this place. I have not been this relaxed and happy in such a long time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. ##### Monica W.
