Stayed Jun 6, 2025My girlfriends and I wanted to find a reasonably priced rental in the Empire area that would allow us to walk into town and also the beach this home checked off all those boxes! It was very clean, had comfortable beds and was on a quiet street a block from the beach. We missed not having a full length mirror and a small table on the back deck to set our coffee cups on, (we ended up using our cooler) but otherwise it had most of the essentials a person would need for a weekend trip. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the awful toilet paper that was offered. I’ve never had this experience before where I needed to purchase t.p. while renting a vacation home, but I did. Please buy a better brand or recommend that your renters bring their own.

Stayed Aug 24, 2024This lovely Chalet style home was in the perfect location for our recent family vacation. The Leelanau Peninsula is one of our favorite places to visit. Everything in Empire was within walking distance and offered close proximity to the daily activities we wanted to pursuit. We found terrific dining and shopping along with canoe trips and hiking over scenic trails. Lake Michigan was beautiful, and we captured many photos of the unbeatable sunsets each night of our stay. The house was very suitable for the four of us. We were happy that our dog was allowed to join us. We would definitely choose this terrific Empire Chalet again. Our countdown to return has already begun.

Stayed Jun 22, 2024This home is very close to Lake Michigan if you walk one direction and about a block from downtown Empire if you walk the other. The home was just right for our family of 5 plus one toddler although you might want to bring a baby gate if your children are very young. It’s located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood and we had a great time!

Stayed Jun 15, 2024First impression was very clean but there were some issues. Moisture for one. Earwigs in bathroom & downstairs bedroom. Don’t really appreciate taking bugs home with me. Also don’t appreciate being told to vacuum& sweep or there will be a 150.00 charge. We would have swept some anyway because at the beach there is sand & no one likes sand but the 150.00 charge threat was not appreciated. Also furnace filters must need changed because there was a definite smoking odor. The vents were dirty.
