The cabin had lots of space with two decks. Thre wre ywo kayaks and a paddleboard down at the waterfront to use, which was not listed in description.Everything else as described. The loft gets warm so we used a fan up there.Need a new showerhead in the bathroom which made the water pressure low.Great stay and we will likely return.

Beautiful, Unique Cabin in a Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Emerald Shores! The cabin was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had such unique and charming furnishings. There was plenty of space for our family of five to relax comfortably.The location was fantastic—close to both Empire and Glen Arbor, with Little Glen Lake right across the road. The lake was one of our favorite parts of the trip! It has a huge shallow area that was perfect for the kids to swim and play.We also really enjoyed the back deck and fire feature, which made for relaxing evenings after a day of exploring. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming as well. Overall, this was a beautiful, comfortable place to stay and a great home base for enjoying the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. We would definitely stay here again
