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.

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.
