This updated historical cottage has maintained all its historic charm while shining with quality furnishings and appliances. Located in Empire, just three blocks from Lake Michigan Beach, this home makes a fantastic home base for any Lake Michigan getaway.

After a fun-filled day at the lake, come home to brisk air conditioning, high speed WiFi, and a private washer/dryer. Lounge in the living room together or head to the spacious kitchen to prepare a meal together. On nice nights, take to the deck for grilling and alfresco dining. Round the night out with stargazing by the glow of the firepit.

4/10 Poor

Jeffery R.

Space was good, not managed well locally
The house was a great size and had what was needed. House was not cleaned well prior to arrival. Items from last guest still in the house, unmade beds. Also a camera in the living room which is a huge issue. Vacasa was very responsive but still disappointed.
