About this property

Home in Downtown Empire! Walk to the beach!

  • This newly remodeled, four bedroom cottage located in the center of downtown Empire is the perfect place to call home while exploring Leelanau County and the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Within walking distance to everything; beautiful Empire Beach, shops, ice cream, family friendly restaurants, art gallery, library and gas station. Grab a bike and hop on the paved Heritage bike trail or take a hike at the famous Empire Bluffs trail.

    The cottage offers two bedrooms on the first floor. Both of these bedrooms offer a king bed. One of the first floor bedrooms has an attached small, but full bath. The second full bath is also located on the first floor. Both bathrooms offer beautiful walk in showers, we do not have a bathtub.

    The upstairs offers two bedrooms. One room with a full size bed and the other with two twins. Each upstairs bedroom has it's own mini split to easily control the rooms temperature.
