    This is our second time renting this house and it is one of the best places I have stayed. The house, amenities, and location are all perfect.

    Extra special- anything we needed was there- had to do a few minor fixes but then I have been an electrician for 45 years- the owner was very responsive

    We had an amazing time in Empire. The owner of this home has thought of everything you will need to feel right at home. It was very clean, had very comfortable beds, central air system, grill, fire pit, and was walking distance to downtown and Empire Beach. This home fit our family of eight perfectly. Empire is the perfect location if you are wanting to center yourself near, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. All are 10-30 min away. You will love this home.

    This is our third year at Mariana's and we are so in love with the house! We have stayed at many different homes in Empire and this is by far the best for our group. The home is a close walk to everything and there is so much attention to detail from decor to necessities. It is the perfect size for a small group (we had 6 adults) with plenty of space for eating, cooking , laughing and a great outdoor fire pit. Host is wonderful and excellent communication. We will be back next year!
