About this property

Park Place Guest House at Empire Beach
Vacation at the beach in this two bedroom, two bathroom 1900 sq. ft. house / cottage that partially overlooks Lake Michigan and South Bar Lake. Walk the tree lined sidewalk 600 ft to the Lake Michigan shore and play on the sand beach. Lake Michigan water level fluctuates every year. Visit Empire Michigan webcam for current lake conditions. There is extensive playground equipment at the beach. The Village of Empire which is seven miles south of Glen Arbor is home to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Visitor Center. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Bike Trail winds through the woods and is paved from Empire to the 'Dune Climb' and continues into Glen Arbor. The trail has been extended north along M-22 to Bohemian Road.
From the rear bedroom window of Park Place Guest House view deer feeding in the nature preserve.
Within walking distance of one block to the east are the Post Office, Bank, Friendly's Tavern, the Bicycle and Surf Shop and Tiffany's Ice Cream Parlor. Two blocks to the east is the Public Library. Three blocks to the east is the gas station/convenience store and the Shipwreck Café. This is truly a unique location.
Park Place Guest House has the appearance of being one structure with Park Place Empire, but each is totally separate and has complete privacy from the other.
Because our Lake Michigan home is special to us, we request great care and consideration from our renters.
We do not supply sheets and towels.

A perfect home away from home

This property is exactly where you want to be in Empire — a short walk from the beach and from downtown. You can see the lake from the living room. The carport made loading and unloading very convenient, especially with the rain we got during our weekend. The kitchen is large and nicely equipped. We had everything we needed to cook breakfast, including a coffee maker and filters. There are two large bathrooms with showers. The main bedroom is large and comfortable. We didn’t sleep upstairs but there are three beds up there and some extra seating. The property was homey and had everything we wanted without being cluttered. We had a wonderful stay. I will definitely try to stay here again the next time I’m in the area.
