Overview

With charm to spare and a great location within walking distance of Empire Beach, hiking and biking trails, quaint local restaurants and shops, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, you’ve chosen wisely with this adorable cottage. The kids and family dog will love the fenced back yard, and you’ll love the cozy firepit, perfect for roasting marshmallows at the end of the day.

Use the full kitchen to prepare snacks for the beach, or sit down for a meal together at the sunny dining room table. After a day of exploration, grab a board game for some more together time, stream the latest release on either TV, or use the free WiFi to post pics of the day’s dune climb to your social media. End the day with a family cookout, and drift off to sleep dreaming of the next day’s adventures. Please note that this property does not have A/C.

Very peaceful and restful getaway. Cottage was very comfortable and walking distance to everything in Empire.

Brett C2025-11-05

The place was very clean and ready for us to jump into our vacation after our 6hr drive. It was on a very cozy street where the neighbors were very friendly. We experienced their trick or treaters and was great to see kids running around(we don't get that much anymore around us). The property was well kept and the yard was well maintained for our dog to roam. We will be staying here again!
