About this house rental
Charming and cozy! This 1891 Centennial home is located in the heart of old Empire on a calm side street. It is only a five-minute walk to Empire beach (Lake Michigan), with miles of sugar sand in each direction to enjoy. This property has three bedrooms and one bathroom on 2-levels.
The main level bedroom has one queen. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with one double bed, two twins, and a twin rollaway bed. The house has WIFI, a FireTV Stick, and DVD player. This home has original interiors with modern conveniences. There is a washer/dryer available.
Relax in the spacious backyard with a deck, hammock, chimney stove for outdoor fires, and a grill. Stroll down the street to Tiffany's for ice cream or Joe's Friendly Tavern for a burger. The Empire Beach boasts a beautiful sandy beach and a large playground. It's only a 5-minute drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes climb and a 25-minute drive to Traverse City.
No air conditioning.
Kitchen updated in 2025.

Reviewer Comments:
Centennial home in Empire was in great location to access Empire Beach, Empire, and Sleeping Bear Lakeshore. House had everything we needed.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2024
While the house is old and has funny angles and spaces, it fulfilled out need. Location to Empire Beach was perfect. Our group of seven ran the Sleeping Bear 5K, 1/2 and full marathon and location couldn't be better. Bed covers could be cleaner, and the rollaway bed mattress could be updated. No outside porch light so arriving late at night took some effort. Overall, decent place for the price.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall we enjoyed the area and vacation. We were not impressed by this rental. It was a place to stay but the beds could've been more comfortable and the house could use some updates. Our kids wanted to play some of the games but it seemed they were all missing pieces and not nicely kept. We were also very disappointed that we did not have access to the Blue Jay rental. I was led to believe we would have access to the other rental and was even given a code for entry but there was no code box. It wasn't until I reached out and asked about it that they said the owner shut down that rental. We have little kids and would've liked to use the bath tub in that rental since the main house only has a shower. I would not have rented this property if I would have know beforehand
