Barry United States of America

Everything was beautiful and the staff were so kind and welcoming.

Jessica United States of America

It was difficult to find the location because there are 2 identical facilities & no staff was there to greet you. I don't remember receiving these instructions how to get into the room. The only reason we knew what to do was a couple was there (who were locked out of their room) and they couldn't get hold of the owners with the phone # given. We tried calling them, too and no one answered. The facility was nice and very clean, though, so we were mostly satisfied.

Jean United States of America

Great location close to Sleeping Bear Dunes lakeshore

Joyce United States of America

we have stayed here several times and have always had a good experience. Great location, love that part of michigan

Mike United States of America

Excellent location to see Sleeping Bear Dunes and that was our objective. Not much food in Empire. Breakfast was not available but we were able to drive to Glen Arbor, about 7 miles away.
