House holiday rentals in Empire

Place was great and super clean. Loved the space and fit the three families perfectly. Only bummer was no access to the pool but that was out of the owners hand and she was going to follow up immediately on the change in the process.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob and Lisa’s place!

What a wonderful stay! The house was impeccably clean, and wonderfully decorated and had tons of space. The pool and hot tub were clean and in great condition. Hosts were incredibly responsive. The space was even larger than the photos made it appear. I would 100% recommend and return!

We had a wonderful stay at Richard's condominium! The condo is apart of a larger resort, Shanty Creek, and with the passes that were left for us to use, we were never bored! We explored the Lakeview Hotel and pool amenities there, the private beach, and the Shuss Mountain resort as well. This was especially nice for the 12 year old we had with us. There was a couple staying next to us (not under Richard's purview), who had loud dogs who would not stop barking but after messaging Richard, we heard them very rarely and then not at all, so we really appreciated the timely response we had from him and the action he took by informing the HOA for that condo. The little touches here and there were also really appreciated, like the fan/lightbulb fan charm cords so we knew which cord was for the light and which was for the fan. We plan on coming back for sure! Highly recommended place for people of all ages to enjoy.

We loved this unit. It was VERY nicely decorated and everything was in perfect condition. I really can't think of anything that wasn't exactly what we'd hoped for. We'll be back!

The cabin was even better than expected! Nicole responded to every question that I had within 10 minutes. This was the perfect place for a kid free getaway and I think it would be just as fun in the winter as the summer. The location was perfect for visiting other cities if you want to travel around. We went to Petosky and Boyne city and visited Northern Michigan speedway on Saturday night. We will definitely be back!

We have stayed at Timber Valley multiple times as a family and it is always a yearly highlight getaway for us. Kristi's place is very cozy and inviting especially being surrounded by the woods and nature. The house is the perfect size for our family of six and we have even had additional family stay with is in the past with more than enough room to accommodate our needs. Kristi is always responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns that come up. You can't go wrong with a stay at Timber Valley!

We loved our stay here! The location to Crystal Mountain is just tough to beat… highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the resort!

The house was beautiful and felt like a brand new build. Everything was in perfect working order—and very clean. Location was a solid 10-min drive to Glen Arbor but very scenic. Would be happy to stay with our family of 5 here again.

This was our second time staying at this property and we love it even more than the first time. Such a beautiful location right on the water, plenty of space, clean and walkable to downtown so we hardly used our car. Our kids loved the third floor bunk room. A great extra space. We look forward to future trips at the Innisfree Cottage!

We had a wonderful stay at Chris's listing! Gorgeous Airbnb, very clean and well-decorated, and accommodating to all things we needed! The location was great and private, but still close enough to downtown Traverse City and other beaches. Our dog also had a fun time running around in the private yard. Chris was also a great host, was super responsive and helpful, and we loved the local tecommendations!

Our family (4 adults, 2 children) stay at Sun Bear was wonderful. The home is spotless and beautiful with floor-to-ceiling windows on the Lake Leelanau side of the house, great decks facing the lake, a stone fireplace for those chilly mornings, and a pier for launching the home’s kayaks and canoe. Additionally, Sun Bear is very tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well-stocked with spices and tools for cooking family dinners. Our host, Chris, was friendly, professional, and responded quickly to our requests and questions. He was also terrific about offering suggestions about restaurants in the area as well as places to see and things to do. He even went out and purchased the brands of coffee we enjoy. Talk about service! We will definitely try to stay at Sun Bear again.

Had a great stay with our two kids (3.5 and 6 yrs old). They were able to share the second downstairs bedroom and had their own bathroom. The place was just like the pictures, very beautiful. Had tons of fun exploring the area, our favorite places were the Grass River Natural area down the street, downtown Bellaire for the brewery and candy store and ice cream store, King Orchard further north was great for the kids, and finally we spent two days at Antrim Beach to play in the sand and look for rocks. Cooked a lot in the kitchen and made smores on the firepit a few times. The only negative is that the house is near a road so although it is very quiet and peaceful, there are occasional cars going by which you can't see but only hear.

Beautiful house in a quiet location. Close to the bike path and lake. Easy drive or bike ride into Glen Arbor or Empire as well as Sleeping Bear Dunes. We enjoyed seeing wildlife just outside our windows in the morning and at dusk. A prefect escape!

Scott's place was absolutely what we needed for our weekend wedding between the Delamar and Suttons Bay. Their place had EVERYTHING. All the amenities and more. Additionally, we had our toddler with us and we had plenty of room, the space was safe, clean, easy to navigate and loved that it was far enough away from Front street to stay out of the busy of it all but close enough to walk over for meals, coffee, etc. We'd absolutely stay here when coming up to traverse again!

Great location. Private and peaceful property with great proximity to the major tourist attractions of the area. Host is very friendly and proactive with communication. Cabin itself is nicely updated. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place, that’s surprisingly private. Very peaceful.

Tracy’s cabin was the exact summer get away we were looking for. The cabin was spotless, air conditioning, and wifi, it made it possible to finish off a work day and then hitting the Lake! A ton of water amenities as well at your disposal. 10/10 would totally go back!

We absolutely loved staying at the CDL for a long weekend. The board game room had so many options to choose from—we really enjoyed spending time in there, checking out new games and a few staples. Everything was immaculate when we stepped in, so tastefully decorated and oh so clean. Rex and Lynnette are top notch hosts and were available when we had questions or needed a refill of coffee beans. Such kind people! We stayed at the Yellow Door Lodge last year and loved it just as much. We will be back!

This cottage is centrally located to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Great Traverse Bay! You’re about 25 mins from the either side of the dunes and from downtown Traverse City. There’s so much to do! The hardest decision shouldn’t be where to stay but what to whittle your list down to. We plan to return as there are more adventures awaiting us! For two, this place is perfect! It would be tight for four unless you don’t mind tripping over an air mattress in the living area. However, there’s plenty of outdoor living area if the weather permits.

All around an amazing place to stay! we will absolutely book again!

The view was phenomenal, we couldn’t have asked for a better location. Super private and excluded but still close enough drive to town to grab dinner. We loved the outdoor shower for when you got back from the beach to rinse off. A super peaceful and relaxing location. We used the complimentary kayaks but it was a bit windy that day but it was fun to try. We loved the different seating areas overlooking the lake. The only thing missing is a hot tub but overall the home exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and in order. We would definitely book here again and we hope to bring our family back in the future !! Thank you. 😊

Great location. Scenic views and Family friendly. Would rent from again.

This place is one of a kind and truly the pinnacle experience when it comes to travel
