Summary: Our family had a great week in Empire. We love this location as a jumping off point for all things in Leelanau County. The cottage had enough space for the 5 of us to spread out and relax after busy days of hiking, kayaking, and sightseeing. The house looked and smelled clean upon arrival. We had a few ants in the kitchen around the window but there was some bug spray under the sink that took care of them. All the appliances were updated and worked well. The refrigerator made great ice! The owner’s communication was clear and timely. We loved using gas grill and the location was an easy 15 minute walk to Empire Beach, always made shorter by stopping for ice cream on the way! We would love to stay here again.

Summary: This is such a lovely, comfortable, clean and well-equipped house. We love the quiet location and private backyard. And it's a short walk to the restaurants/shops on Front Street. The beach and Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail also are close by. All in all, a perfect spot for a family vacation in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area.
