Tucked away within a peaceful, wooded neighborhood, and located within a half-mile of the famous Empire Bluff Trail as well as Empire Beach (once named the best freshwater beach in North America), this two-story home is ready to welcome you and your guests to Northwest Michigan.
Boasting a rustic, open feel and an inviting, sunlit great room with a vaulted ceiling, this spacious vacation rental comes with everything you need for the perfect getaway. Prepare your favorite recipes in the well-equipped, full kitchen, and then dine at the adjacent table for four, or indulge in an alfresco experience outside on your furnished deck. Out back, you'll also find a large, grassy yard framed by wooded lots to either side where you can watch for visiting wildlife, plus a firepit ready for s'mores, stories, and stargazing.
Back inside, this home includes two comfortably furnished living areas with TVs for streaming your favorite channels, a washer/dryer, and plenty of board games for in-home entertainment.
