We could buzz into either town, or any of our favorite beaches easily, and escape back to total serenity and privacy when we’d had enough.

The house is furnished with everything you need to prepare meals and live comfortably. Stone gable is close enough to Empire to run for necessities, but just far enough away to feel secluded. There is a lovely farm stand on the way to Empire that we bought produce from. Don't forget some cash, they use the honor system to pay! We highly recommend this as a vacation spot for couples or a small family!! ##### phil m.

The house was very comfortable and we had great weather so we could leave the windows open and get some fresh air. The deck had a great view of the fields surrounding the property. We ventured out on the property to some walking paths up the hill in the back. Great workout;) The location was perfect to drive into town Empire (check out Tiffany's for some nummy ice cream) or Glen Arbor (great little grocery store and a few good restaurants as well). It is also located near several great beaches. Overall, we had a great week relaxing and checking out the area around Sleeping Bear dunes. ##### Brenda Beene S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### donna g. 9 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### up north getaway Best of both worlds with this rental! A beautifully restored and modern farmhouse in the country! Easy to access to Glen arbor/beaches/food/shopping but also lovely to get away from it all on the back deck with many walking trails right there. We were always happy to return home, reading and looking out on the beautiful fields. Great wifi, SUPER clean and equipped with anything you might need. Maureen made things easy and was instantly available for directions, ideas etc. Check in and out was so easy. Would return in a heartbeat. Thank you! ##### donna g.

Nice and serene location just outside of Empire. Enjoyed watching the crows come back at nite to roost in the woods behind the house and seeing the deer come out to graze. Morning coffee on the deck was very pleasant. It was an easy drive to the other quaint towns (Glen Arbor, Leland, Arcadia) and other attractions. Stonegable was very comfortable and clean with an abundance of amenities. Kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking supplies. The outdoor gas grill was a nice addition for preparing the evening meals. Maureen was a great host. She communicated with us and insured our stay went well. We would highly recommend this rental to our family and friends and are looking forward to renting it in the future. ##### Gary M.
