Quiet and charming, views of historic Leelanau county, close to beaches
The property is located within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, close to hiking trails and beaches. Empire beach, only two miles from the property, was named one of the top 21 beaches in the world. The Village of Empire is just a couple of miles up M-22 and includes restaurants, coffee and shopping. Enjoy open views by sitting on the front porch or by the campfire (firewood included) and all that Leelanau County has to offer— dune bluffs, rivers for kayaking, and amazing views of Lake Michigan.
The house features one master bedroom (queen) and an open loft upstairs with three beds (2 twin and 1 full size). There is a full size kitchen (cookware included), living room, and one full bathroom. The laundry room includes a washer and dryer for you to use. We provide towels but do not provide bed linens nor pillows— please bring bed linens and/or blankets. Central A/C, satellite TV and Wi-Fi are provided. There is a smart TV in the living room and master bedroom. The living room TV includes a DVD player and a long list of DVD movies you are more than welcome to enjoy.
