Empire, Michigan
From the porch/deck of this exceptional 2200sq.ft. home, enjoy the spectacular Lake Michigan sunsets. Walk 600 ft. to the Lake Michigan shore and play on the magnificent sugar sand beach that connects 35 miles of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The back yard adjoins a nature preserve where deer, wild turkeys, fox and other wildlife are seen. The side yard rolls gently down to a mowed grass park and the edge of South Bar Lake, a 1 mile long lake just 200 ft. from the Michigan shoreline.
Within walking distance of one block to the east are the Post Office, Bank, Friendly's Tavern and Tiffany's Ice Cream Parlor. Two blocks to the east is the Public Library and Three blocks to the east is the gas station/ convenience store and Shipwreck Cafe.
This is truly a unique location.
Because our Lake Michigan home is special to us, we request great care and consideration from our renters.
Please note that sheets and towels are not supplied.
Our family enjoyed our stay very much. You simply can't beat the location, just yards from a great public beach with two playgrounds for kids, fire pits, grills, basketball courts, and a smaller lake with dock. The village of Empire is right out your door, too, and Sleeping Bear park right north of you. You can watch the sunset nightly right from the deck. House was as described and fine for our needs. Beds were the worst part, fine but some of the more uncomfortable and old I've slept in in recent years. As a whole, we'd definitely return.
You cant beat the views from the deck-Lake Michigan beach, South Bar Lake and a marsh filled with beautiful birds. The house is adequate, but had a mild scent of musty which lingered. We had to bring our own sheets and towels. Enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and into quaint Empire.
Cannot wait to come back
Property was just as advertised. Very nice, great views! Would definitely stay again. Note, you must supply your own towels and bed sheets. This information has not provided by the owner or VRBO before we arrived.
This property is in the perfect location and even better than the pictures! We had a fabulous time and had plenty of room for the 7 of us
Will definitely return. This property is perfect for a stay in Empire.
Very good location!
My family enjoyed being able to see the Lake Michigan sunsets from the deck and the closeness to get to the beach. The house was very clean and comfortable and we made happy memories there.
The house is in an idea spot and was everything that the listing described. We had a great time and we are looking forward to next year.
Park Place provided the perfect beach/lakeside location in charming Empire. A terrific home base for exploring Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. We loved joining with others at Empire beach for nightly sunsets. We enjoyed the view of Lake Michigan and South Bar Lake from the dining room table and the great deck. The accommodations were very comfortable with a well appointed kitchen. Wifi and streaming services were also appreciated. We highly recommend at stay at Park Place. Note the property does not provide linens and towels, which we initially found odd, but in the COVID period, that was actually okay for us.
