Bob and Linda Turner
We've been lucky enough to live in the area over 28 years.. 23 years in Glen Arbor, and the last couple of years in Empire, where we built our dream home! "Turner Empire" We raised 2 great kids in Glen Arbor, who both love the area as well, and who both still live close by! I am a photographer, and owned a gallery in Glen Arbor for a few years.. I also sell my photo art at art shows. The house is decorated with much of my artwork, which is also for sale... If interested in purchasing any artwork in the home, please contact me for more info. ~Linda

Why they chose this property
We love the location of our property... In the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore... A beautiful, wooded setting, on 2 + acres. It's very peaceful here.. but close to Glen Arbor and Empire Village for food, shopping, and fun! As a bonus... its located just minutes to Lake Michigan and Big and Little Glen Lakes! If you love to cycle and hike (or run) as I do.... you will fall in love with our rental home and the area!
