We had a wonderful experience staying at Haley’s Airbnb. The home is beautifully decorated and every detail has been thoughtfully curated. We immediately felt at home. The location was great for walking to dinner or riding our bikes to Empire beach. Very close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, great beaches and Glen Arbor. The coffee and bonfire supplies were a wonderful surprise. We will definitely stay again!

This house is fantastic, everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The house was perfect in every way and the area was perfect for exploring northern Michigan. Loved how close the beach was, sunset at the beach was spectacular!!

We had an awesome stay at the Coastal Cottage in Empire. Beautiful home inside and out with all of the amenities. Great kitchen, living areas, and decor. Backyard is nice with a patio and cozy fire pit. Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and that natural beauty with Glen Arbor for supplies. Traverse City is a close destination as well which has an awesome vibe. So much to do on the Leelanau peninsula and this home is next to it all! When we requested to stay an extra day, Haley rapidly responded to confirm availability. Would recommend if you’re in the area.

Beautiful home in the perfect location to see all there is of the area! We easily went to Glen Arbor, Traverse City, Sutton’s Bay as well as super close to Sleeping Bear Dunes! The owner has thought of everything, home is well stocked, comfortable and cozy, decorated beautifully! Highly recommend and will definitely come back!

We loved our stay in Empire! Such serene location and updated / beach chic home. Walkable to Empire Beach (highly recommend taking a pizza to the beach for sunset) and several cute eateries. Tiffany’s ice cream! Very charming and a great location away from the hustle of Glen Arbor - quick 10 min drive to dinner and groceries in GA. It was great!!!
