This home has everything you need to make your vacation up north as comfortable and as pleasant as possible....We even added a brand new “Pro-Form” elliptical machine, so you don’t have to miss your workouts while at Turner Empire!

Bob and Linda Turner
We've been lucky enough to live in the area over 28 years.. 23 years in Glen Arbor, and the last couple of years in Empire, where we built our dream home! "Turner Empire" We raised 2 great kids in Glen Arbor, who both love the area as well, and who both still live close by! I am a photographer, and owned a gallery in Glen Arbor for a few years.. I also sell my photo art at art shows. The house is decorated with much of my artwork, which is also for sale... If interested in purchasing any artwork in the home, please contact me for more info. ~Linda
