Lovely slice of paradise in Northern Michigan

The property was very pleasant from the deck to the grill and the fire pit to everything in the house. There were great amenities in the house, including paper goods, plenty of towels, and beach towels. It was very comfortable place to spend the week. The accessibility to Empire and the National Lakeshore was perfect.

The home had all the amenities we needed to prepare meals. I especially appreciate the option for pour over coffee. The bathrooms were clean and could only be improved by adding a few more wash cloths. The bed linens were clean and comfortable, and it was nice to have different pillow options to suit individual preferences. The overall design of the home was beautiful and thoughtful. Gary, the property manager, shared that much of the interior wood came from the property which is pretty cool.

Great get-away location!

The house was very comfortable and well kept. Fantastic location. Just a short hop, skip, and a jump to some of the best beaches in the world. The walking trails on site are super, too. We could not have asked for more!

Wonderful vacation house

This house was perfect for enjoying Sleeping Bear lakeshore and surrounding area. We had all the activities close by and had the wooded, private property. We enjoyed biking, hiking, a Lake Michigan beach, and shopping small towns.

Fabulous Stay

This is a darling house. It has all the amenities needed for a great stay. It’s super close to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Our family had a great time at the park, then come back to a wonderful place where they could spread out and rest from all the climbing. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Additionally, Gary the owner was very helpful and responsive. Excellent stay!

A delightful cabin

We came to visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We brought bikes with us and enjoyed several wonderful days. The cabin is spacious, well-maintained and very comfortable for a family of 4. It is attractive and quiet, a bit off the beaten path but central to the three main park areas. It has a lovely hike on the property.
