Empire Lakeshore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! First time and it was perfect for family and I! It was just hard to get a hold of the managers when needed. But overall would come back again!"

The Cottonwood Inn B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This B&B is very close to Empire Beach, Sleeping Dunes visitor center, and some restaurants and cute shops. The B&B house is spacious with multiple sitting areas inside and outside. The breakfast was amazing every morning, with lots of different homemade options, very delicious! The hosts were great, and had good suggestions for local places to see."

Maple Lane Empire

10/10 Excellent

"we were looking for just a couple nights close to Sleeping Bear area to hike and bike and this location was perfect. We had a room on the upper level getting a cooler up the stairs was a challenge but not a deal breaker for sure, and BTW we are active seniors so that might not be any problem for younger people. We used the grill and had a meal outside on the deck, walked down the the beach one morning for coffee and in the evening to swim and used the kyacks. The firepit looks awesome but it was too hot to have a fire. We had a kitchenette and worked out great for making breakfast. It had everything we needed. It was quite at night. Would definatly come back again."
