Very nice house for 2 couples!
My husband and I and our 2 friends had a great time staying at Turner Empire! Everything was spotlessly clean from kitchen appliances, cupboards, drawers and dishes to bedrooms and bathrooms. The rooms were nicely decorated with fun fall decorations! There wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere! There are lots of fun activities and places to explore nearby. We enjoyed hiking in the dunes area, a play in Traverse City and a fabulous dinner at Trattoria Stella! The owners are very nice! I highly recommend Turner Empire!!

Beautifully Perfect
A perfect place- clean, quiet and stocked with everything you need. We especially loved the large house and all the backyard (and porch) amenities. Since I made the reservations I was the hero of the weekend. Nice to have Glen Arbor so close too. Thanks so much!

Wonderful stay in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes
We loved Turner Empire! What a great place to relax and rejuvenate. The porch was shady on a hot day, and the backyard had great seating for hanging out, eating and grilling. It was literally the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in and we’ve rented many, many houses over the years. The house had literally everything we could possibly want, and made it easy to cook at home. But it was also close to both Glen Arbor and Empire, Sleeping Bear dunes and 30 minutes from Traverse City, Leland and wineries. It did not have air conditioning, but the downstairs stayed cool even in almost 90 degree heat. Linda and Bob were very welcoming and responsive - highly recommend this place!

Beautiful home with all the comforts
This home was perfect for our family of 5 and had so many little touches that made it comfortable to unpack and feel at home at the end of a busy day. The space was beautifully decorated and very clean. Amazing location to go explore and a great space to relax as a family.

Wonderful Property
We were here for a wedding. The property was immaculate. Was even better than listed. Especially enjoyed the back deck area and the occasional deer in the brush. Would definitely stay here again.
