About this property

Enjoy the calm and beauty of the northern lower peninsula. M22 life awaits! Private dock on S. Bar, a fish filled quiet lake, that’s great for swimming, too. 1/2 mile paddle across S. Bar lake gets you to Empire’s public Lake Michigan beach. Of course, the 1 mile walk of drive is also an option. Sleeping Bear Dunes Heritage Trail begins on our street! The infamous dune climb is just 5-1/2 miles away and the trail takes you right there. Grocer’s daughter chocolate shop is less than 1/2 mile.
The “Nest” is prepared to let you relax. The kitchen has a refrigerator, oven and sink over looking the fruit trees in the backyard. Living area is complete with a glider and pull out couch. The bedroom features a double bed, closet space and plenty of room for a pack-n-play or two for our younger guests. There’sa full bathroom with shower and basic toiletries. At the lower level you’ll find the laundry which includes a washer, dryer and utility sink. S. Bar is at the west edge of the backyard, where you’ll find the dock, fire pit and all the fish.

During your stay at this guesthouse, you're just a quick walk from Lake Michigan.

Just a 4-minute walk from Lake Michigan and a 3-minute drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
