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.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
The house has loads of space to spread out, and is within walking district to the beach and restaurants.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2024
This was a good spot for a relaxing getaway. My friend and I loved that it was within walking distance of both the public beach in Empire and the Empire Bluffs trailhead. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen area had the perfect balance of coziness and space to feel like a comfortable hang-out spot for two, even though the house itself was fairly large. The outside deck offered a welcoming space to appreciate the adjacent grove of sugar maples dressed in their autumnal fire. I will definitely be keeping this property in mind for future stays.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
The location of this house is impeccable. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk to empire beach, and even closer to the little strip of shops and restaurants. Yet, it’s super quiet and peaceful. The home itself was nice and warm when we arrived like it was waiting for us, which we appreciated because it was chilly outside. Home was clean and we also appreciated that there wasn’t an insane list of check out chores like some places have - just basic cleaning up after yourself such as doing your dishes, trash, etc. Overall we would love to stay here again.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
Love Empire, and this house fit the bill for our party of seven - almost. Close enough to town, the beach, Empire Bluff and everything we love to do there. Plenty of space to spread out, and comfortable enough furniture for a rental home. Even the folks on the sofa bed said it was "pretty reasonable," and sofa beds can be brutal. That's the great . The not so great - the listing said air conditioning. There was none. We came planning to do a lot of cooking for our meals, and the "fully stocked kitchen" had 6 forks for our party of 7. You might be able to find 7 drinking glasses, but they be an assortment of sizes from juice to pint glasses, and in pretty worn shape. Finally the bugs. There were a lot - and I gave it a pass, as the house is in the woods on the outskirts of town, but there's no reason the front porch couldn't be swept clean of cobwebs and dust. It made the place a little more decrepit-feeling than it needed to be. All-in-all, a fair home, but certainly not the best we've stayed in in Empire.
