"Nice, quiet area."

"The house was cozy in a quiet neighborhood. It was easy to settle in and feel comfortable. "

"The house was fantastic with plenty of room for the kids to spread out. We loved how close it was to so many hiking trails. This was one of the best houses we’ve stayed at and made for the perfect spring break get away!"

"The Empire Beach House has been a favorite spot of ours for several years. The home has recently been beautifully updated throughout making it modern yet still cozy. It is organized and has everything you need for your beach getaway. The deck and views are amazing. We had an excellent experience with the co-hosts who connected with us in advance and throughout the stay. Great electronic guide to the property and surrounding area was also provided."

"It was close to the Empire beach and Sleeping Bear sites. The home was clean and had a well-equipped kitchen. The weather was cool so we enjoyed the fireplace. Very family friendly. Check in and out was great. Empire is a nice town. We would definitely come back to this location. One minor thing that could be improved — towels. Kitchen could use more and bath towels are getting worn. "

"This was such a lovely home right in Empire! A 10 min walk to the beach and close to lots of hiking trails. The home had everything we needed, we enjoyed our stay. "

"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 enjoyed this stay with grandparents, parents and kids. We chose this for the location, as Empire gives great access to the beach, especially by bicycle- it made the trips back and forth a breeze & the scenery is divine. Also going by bike helped us avoid the full parking lot issue over labor day. The house has wonderful natural light, it’s bright and open. Our kids loved the upstairs, we loved the safety of it not being a loft! There is a window unit upstairs that’s not on the listing, but even with warmest day of 72 we didn’t need it. I loved that almost every window opened and had screens, only one screen was missing, we had a wonderful breeze. The furniture in the living and dining room is comfortable, giving us all a place to lounge. The kitchen & bathroom downstairs are updated nicely. We loved the super long bench in the entry way for jackets, helmets and bags. And the island in the kitchen the same, great for things you need to grab and go. We loved the loungers in the back yard and bought them as soon as we got home! Water pressure in house is good, the hot cold is reversed in downstairs shower, just be advised. We could have used a swifter for pesky sand, so bring one with you! We always need more hooks for towels and hoodies and such too. Kitchen drawers & laundry closet could do with a reorganize and reset for next season. We loved the home, the neighbors and the location and would be honored to rent it again next time. Thank you for providing this gem of a home! It has been our all time favorite!"

"Our fifth stay at Stonegable. Everything about it is wonderful and that’s why we keep going back. "

"The property and house were great! The pool was incredibly well maintained, the house was stocked with plenty of toys and supplies for the pool and property, and we’d love to come back"
