Welcome to Green Pastures, a new luxury home in the village of Empire.

Beautiful & Super Clean home with everything you will need for a fantastic vacation up north! Plenty of good seating throughout the house and very comfortable beds. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home.

The house was wonderful--very comfortable and decorated beautifully. The neighborhood and Empire itself are lovely with lots of hiking opportunities and beautiful views. We particularly love the Empire Bluff Trail. The host was very responsive and helpful. The directions at the house were detailed and easy to follow. Get pizza from the Empire Village Inn. You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely phenomenal home! Clean, spacious, bright - and it has everything you need whether you're in the kitchen (amazing coffee options!) or bath. The home's location can't be beat either: we could walk to the visitor center, beach (stunning sunset), Empire Village Inn (great food), and Grocer's Daughter (mint truffle was our fave). It was a perfect home base for our visit to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Thank you, Katherine!

Perfect getaway weekend with the family! The house had everything we could need. It was the best furnished house we've stayed in. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area.

The house is very clean and well-maintained and very convenient to all local/regional activities. Highly recommend this home for families. We had a wonderful end of summer vacation!

Green Pastures is in a nice quiet new neighborhood within walking distance of the town of Empire and the Lake Michigan beach. The house is very clean and bright and the hosts thought of everything to make it perfect. I would love to return and would recommend it highly.

Green Pastures was very comfortable and a great location for our family of four adults, two kids. We appreciated the open space and light, very comfortable beds, thoughtful gifts and touches from our host, and overall cleanliness and comfort.

Great property. Highly recommended to anyone looking to spend a week on lake MICHIGAN!

Gorgeous house, situated perfectly for our family vacation. Every furnishing was new, clean, well kept. Especially appreciate the coffee bar options: Kurig, pour over, French press, machine.

What a beautiful home nestled in a beautiful neighborhood just a short walk to the beach! We had an amazing time with our family (2 young boys)! The house was perfectly appointed and we weren’t far from anything northern MI has to offer (Empire, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Traverse City and of course the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes)! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Paul and Katherine!

With the help of a friend who owns a home in Empire, I rented this home due to the proximity to my friend’s home and because of how new it is. We absolutely loved the location and floorplan of Green Acres. It is well equipped with kitchen supplies and small appliances. We like to cook and entertain so that was important to us. Beach towels were provided for our boating and kayaking days. We enjoyed sitting around the outdoor fire pit for evening cocktails and chats. Glen Arbor was our favorite town and it’s only 10 minutes away! There is so much to do and explore in the immediate area. A few of our favorite adventures were boating and jet skiiing on Glen Lake, kayaking on the Platte River, biking the Heritage Trail, hiking the sand dunes at Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore National Park, walking to Empire Beach, and wine tasting in Traverse City and on the peninsula. Overall, an exceptional vacation and experience. It was wonderful to have a beautiful home to come back to every night.

This house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable! A cute coffee drawer and thoughtful welcome basket await your arrival. It was the perfect location to enjoy the beach and all that Sleeping Bear Dunes has to offer! We made wonderful family memories

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights. This home is without a doubt one of the nicest VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in! It was new, beautifully designed and decorated, clean, incredibly well-equipped, comfortable…we could go on and on. Paul and Katherine were extremely kind and responded quickly to any questions we had. The area is absolutely beautiful–we hiked and biked and visited wineries–a great combination of activities. We recommend this home without reservations, would stay here again in a minute, and will highly recommend to friends and family!
