Summary: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Stonegable. The house was very comfortable and we had great weather so we could leave the windows open and get some fresh air. The deck had a great view of the fields surrounding the property. We ventured out on the property to some walking paths up the hill in the back. Great workout;) The location was perfect to drive into town Empire (check out Tiffany's for some nummy ice cream) or Glen Arbor (great little grocery store and a few good restaurants as well). It is also located near several great beaches. Overall, we had a great week relaxing and checking out the area around Sleeping Bear dunes.

Summary: Our vacation centered around hiking at Sleeping Bear Dunes. The quaint farm house was the perfect spot. Absolute privacy on the quiet farm, but only a short drive to the National Shoreline. We were also only 30 minutes from Traverse City. Also close to the charming small towns of Empire and Glen Arbor. Stonegable was fully stocked with every to make us feel at home.

Summary: The property was in an ideal setting and location to visit the sites of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat'l Lakeshore Park. Nice and serene location just outside of Empire. Enjoyed watching the crows come back at nite to roost in the woods behind the house and seeing the deer come out to graze. Morning coffee on the deck was very pleasant. It was an easy drive to the other quaint towns (Glen Arbor, Leland, Arcadia) and other attractions. Stonegable was very comfortable and clean with an abundance of amenities. Kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking supplies. The outdoor gas grill was a nice addition for preparing the evening meals. Maureen was a great host. She communicated with us and insured our stay went well. We would highly recommend this rental to our family and friends and are looking forward to renting it in the future.

Summary: We enjoyed the quiet of this well-cared for little house. We loved spending time in the towns along M-22 and at the Sleeping Bear Dunes. And actually being able to see the stars in a dark night sky was a big bonus. Thanks so much!

Summary: We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Stonegable! It was comfortable, immaculate, and had everything we needed, The property is a perfect antidote to the tourist crowds in Glen Arbor and Empire. We could buzz into either town, or any of our favorite beaches easily, and escape back to total serenity and privacy when we’d had enough. And our dog, Stella, will probably sleep for a week after her adventures watching over all that property! Can’t wait to go back!!

Summary: This was our 3rd year staying at Stonegable. My husband and I love the peacefulness of quiet country living, and the closeness of beautiful Lake Michigan. It is the best of both worlds. Maureen as always is extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We hope to come back next year.
