About this house rental
Escape to the heart of Northern Michigan at Wild Things Cottage, a serene retreat tucked along Benzonia Trail in Empire. Just minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Glen Lake and the iconic Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this cozy and versatile property sleeps up to 13 guests (ideal for 10 adults due to bunk bed weight limits) and offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and access to outdoor adventure.
Set on a quiet, wooded lot, Wild Things Cottage is ideal for families looking to recharge in a beautiful natural setting. Inside, you’ll find a bright, welcoming interior with rustic charm, modern amenities, and plenty of room to relax after a day of activity.
A major highlight is the separate apartment above the garage—complete with its own living room, kitchen, sleeping area, bathroom, and jetted tub. Sleeping up to 4 guests, it’s the perfect place for grandparents, couples, or anyone seeking extra privacy while still enjoying time with the group.
