Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It was close to the Empire beach and Sleeping Bear sites. The home was clean and had a well-equipped kitchen. The weather was cool so we enjoyed the fireplace. Very family friendly. Check in and out was great. Empire is a nice town. We would definitely come back to this location. One minor thing that could be improved — towels. Kitchen could use more and bath towels are getting worn. ##### John R. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alice O.

The house was spacious, clean, modern, very comfortable and homey. The kitchen was well stocked making cooking in easy since there were few restaurants nearby.

Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family get away Took the family, 2 adults and 4 kids to this area for a few days away. The house was clean and orderly. Everything that was described on the vrbo website was accurate and available. Our favorite part of the stay was the short walk to Empire beach. We spent almost every night there swimming in Lake Michigan and playing on the play ground. You do have to get there early to claim a fire pit FYI. Another side note, make sure to bring groceries or stop on the way. There is a BP with a mini mart on the corner about 3 blocks away but you won’t get everything you need there. We hit up a Toms on the way. There is a market about 13 min north in Glen Arbor as well. Overall this was a great experience! Close to river tubing, dune climbing, trail hiking, and beaches. We will be back! ##### Joshua D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kacie W. Aug 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Empire stay Six of us adults stayed at this place in Empire, and here are our thoughts-- Pros- The location was great, walking distance to Lake Michigan and a short drive to the sleeping bear dunes. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The host was quick to respond and answer all questions Cons - there is a fee for background check/insurance the property tacks on that is non negotiable. You have to sign a rental agreement and the communication from there is outside the app via email prior to check-in. This information isn't shared with you until after booking (unless I missed it somewhere) so I figured I would inform future guests Additionally, the cleaning fee is higher than most, yet you're asked to do everything except sweep and mop (but if you do use the vacuum, there are rules for that as well),&there's a additional fee if any dishes are left. I am totally fine with starting the dishwasher before leaving a place and taking linens off beds, but you're asked to wash and dry all dishes and put them away to avoid a fee, wash and dry at least one load of laundry, bring all the towels and linens to the laundry room, take out the trash and bring the bin to the end of the driveway. Just seems a little excessive especially since we're already paying for a cleaner. Lastly, the beds were not the most comfortable, pretty squeaky main bed. They were fine for a night or two Overall it was a nice place to stay, just a lot of extra cleaning on the guests end for something we already paid for ##### Kacie W.

It’s a great house - comfy couches and beds, and enough indoor and outdoor space for all of us. We loved our stay here! ##### Erin G. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri N. Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our vacay The house was perfect for my family of six. It was clean, cozy, comfortable, and a central location to visit multiple beaches, towns, and hikes. We enjoyed kayaking and splurged at Blu (Glen Arbor), as we spent our 25th wedding that week. We all enjoyed our vacation. ##### Terri N. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice E.

We needed a place to stay for a destination family wedding. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the home was inside. Great place to stay and enjoy Empire. ##### Alice E.

We loved it. Everything about it fit our needs. BUT…please replace or remove the rug in the living room. It’s a big tripping hazard. ##### Laurie S.

Jun 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in Empire All aspects of the trip were excellent. From reserving and planning, arrival/check in, to the convenience of location and check out. We couldn't have been happier. The houses amenities more than satisfied our needs, the location couldn't have been easier with the short walk to the beach and a playground next door. Check in and check out was smooth and instructions clear. It definitely made our vacation stress free and consider the same place next year. ##### Shannon S.
