"We were going to Sleeping Bear Dunes so there really are not a lot of options for stays. The service was fast on the phone during business hours. I did not love that the after hour check-in requires taking a key from a public box for safety reasons. The pillows and bed were very uncomfortable. When we got to our room the heat was not on and the room was at 59 degrees, mind you it is 40 and dropping. We spent a long time trying to determine how to turn the heat on (it is not using the wall thermostat but the ac looking unit which is very difficult to get to as a counter top was installed right on top of it). The unit proceeds to blow cold and hot air. Both the bath tub and toilet are leaking water and the bathroom floor is warping because of it. Additionally, you can hear everything from the rooms around you and outside (I can see why they provide a white noise machine). Aside from all of that the room was clean. Hard to recommend but I know it’s one of the only options."

"The house was cozy in a quiet neighborhood. It was easy to settle in and feel comfortable. "

"The house was fantastic with plenty of room for the kids to spread out. We loved how close it was to so many hiking trails. This was one of the best houses we’ve stayed at and made for the perfect spring break get away!"

"Beautiful property. Staff was friendly and we really enjoyed breakfast. We look forward to staying here again!"

"The host was very accommodating. The property was clean and beautifully appointed. The kids played a lot of games. It was pet-friendly and very conveniently located in Empire. "

"The Empire Beach House has been a favorite spot of ours for several years. The home has recently been beautifully updated throughout making it modern yet still cozy. It is organized and has everything you need for your beach getaway. The deck and views are amazing. We had an excellent experience with the co-hosts who connected with us in advance and throughout the stay. Great electronic guide to the property and surrounding area was also provided."
