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!

Bob and Linda Turner
We've been lucky enough to live in the area over 20 years.. 20 years in Glen Arbor, and the last couple of years in Empire, where we built our dream home! "Turner Empire" We raised 2 great kids in Glen Arbor, who both love the area as well, and who both still live close by! I am a photographer, and owned a gallery in Glen Arbor for a few years.. I also sell my photo art at art shows. The house is decorated with much of my artwork, which is also for sale... If interested in purchasing any artwork in the home, please contact me for more info. ~Linda

Why they chose this property

We love the location of our property... In the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore... A beautiful, wooded setting, on 2 + acres. It's very peaceful here.. but close to Glen Arbor and Empire Village for food, shopping, and fun! As a bonus... its located just minutes to Lake Michigan and Big and Little Glen Lakes! If you love to cycle and hike (or run) as I do.... you will fall in love with our rental home and the area!
