Park Place Guest House 600 feet from Lake Michigan Beach

Quiet end of season visit to one of my favorite places to hike. Property well maintained and perfect location. Beach walks, hikes and sunsets everyday. Owner was visiting for part of my stay and was delightful. He cares about this place.

Great location, close to lots of interesting things to do and to a very nice beach. We have stayed in Empire before and really like the village.

We enjoyed our short stay very much. Weather was too cold for swimming but there are very nice hikes nearby and you can see the waves on the beach from the property. On the last day we have a very nice beach walk. The owner was very responsive to our questions about the WiFi. Highly recommend!

Great place and great location

Great location and great house! The only downfall is that the fire pit is shared with the rental next door but there are fire pits on the beach that were awesome for bonfires.

The location is excellent to access the quaint downtown and beach. The home was comfortable/cozy for our stay w 6 adults. Beds are comfortable too. You are sharing the outdoor ammenities with another VRBO family. Our experience was positive.

Location was great.

As seniors it did not meet our special needs.

We always enjoy our stay, it’s perfect for my family!

We throughly enjoyed this location! Wish there were more kitchen utensils and steak knives.

This property is in the best location. 5 minutes from beach and beautiful backyard sunsets. The house itself is very roomy. Enough space for 6 adults. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, parasailing (traverse city) walking the beach and having a sunset campfire on the beach with smores. Great week. We would stay again.

Great place to stay when visiting Empire. Steps away from Lake Michigan. Much roomier than we thought prior to arriving. Was nice to have an open second floor loft with 3 beds for the kids and the master bedroom on main floor not far but not too close. Owner very responsive to any communication .Will stay here again in the future. Parking in carport very snug so just be careful pulling in and out not to hit pillars.

Location is everything for this beachy loftstyle home in Empire. Our family loved that we could walk everywhere we wanted to go (3 minute walk to Lake Michigan beach, same to main drag of town) and have short drives to nearby attractions such as the Sleeping Bear Lakeshore, trails, Glen Arbor. The home was large enough for us to be comfortable and we never really even utilized the basement area or washer and dryer as our days were filled up with all the fun the area has to offer. The larger kitchen made cooking easy as well as the Weber grill outback. Though very close to its sister property, it has complete privacy and was very quiet other than a lot of both foot and vehicle traffic going by, as you're one of the last houses on the road to the public beach. We visited over 4th of July weekend and were not sure of what to expect, but were very pleased that even on the busiest days, it was still a very family friendly area and we never felt like it was too crowded. We enjoyed a fantastic fireworks show from the window of the spacious master bedroom, too! If youre looking to explore Empire and its surrounding area this is a great rental, especially for families of young children.

We absolutely loved our stay here and were pleasantly surprised at all the room we had between the 3 floors!! We loved being in walking distance to everything. The only complaint we had was the sewer smell when we first arrived, but were able to resolve this by opening the windows which we ended up leaving open during our stay, which was lovely to wake up to the sound of the water! The only recommendation we had would be to update the pan collection to a non stick set?

We have stayed at this property before and will likely stay at this property in the future if it is available. It is in a superb location, and it is a very nice house overall, if I had to give constructive criticism I would say, it could use some interior updates to furniture and a good outdoor cleaning around all the benches, patios and windows.

The location is wonderful! You can walk to the beach and to businesses in Empire. We saw multiple deer every day behind the house. The property was clean and well stocked. It had lots of hooks-- that is so helpful. The only drawback was having to pack towels and sheets, but that is clearly listed. We enjoyed exploring Empire, Sleeping Bear and Glen Arbor. We would definitely stay again.

This property is perfect for families that love the Michigan shore! Just a quick one minute easy walk and you can be at the shore playing, soaking up the sun or hunting for great rocks. It’s so convenient to everything.
