Sleeping Bear - Empire Retreat near Lake Michigan
Enjoy small-town charm and natural beauty at this newly updated home in the heart of Empire—gateway to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Nestled on a spacious corner lot, this dog-friendly retreat is just a short walk from Lake Michigan, downtown shops, restaurants, and scenic hiking trails.
Inside, unwind in the bright, inviting living area where large windows fill the space with natural light. Cozy up on the plush sectional by the electric fireplace, stream your favorite shows, or share stories around the dining table. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and everything you need to cook up a hearty post-beach meal.
Outside, spend your evenings gathered around the firepit under the stars. The yard offers plenty of room for kids—or pups—to play, while the quiet neighborhood ensures a peaceful stay. With high-speed WiFi, a washer/dryer, and easy access to both the dunes and the lake, this home is ideal for families, couples, or friends looking to explore one of Michigan’s most beloved destinations.
Sleeping Arrangements
- Bedroom 1: 1 king bed (sleeps 2)
