With charm to spare and a great location within walking distance of Empire Beach, hiking and biking trails, quaint local restaurants and shops, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, you’ve chosen wisely with this adorable cottage.

A cute little house at the beach

The proximity to “downtown” Empire was super and it is an easy walk to the beach. Our dogs enjoyed the back yard and it was easy to walk them around the neighborhood. We neglected to notice that there is no A/C. We opened the windows due to record high temps during our stay and there are a lot of fans in the closets but do note it got very hot inside. Bring a sheetpan/cookie sheet or 9x13 - I forgot mine for dinner prep and cooking and the kitchen didn’t have one.

Awful experience. No AC. Rodent droppings in kitchen. No code sent. Property wide open when we arrived. Dirty floors. Would not recommend. Only saving feature was the location.

You can’t always get what you want

We booked this cottage for its location and pet friendliness. Both of those are great reasons to stay here! A few things to know: The backyard is fenced but our small 11 pound pup found lots of garbage in the grass and also managed to find spaces to escape so you do have to watch them out there. We let Vacasa know immediately about cleanliness issues but those were not tended to because “their biz hours are weekdays 9-5” which belies the service industry. The front door needs attention; we had trouble locking/unlocking it because it is not square and at one point was completely stuck shut. Overall, we still had a great time because of the location but want folks to know what they can expect when renting this place!

New house for us

We try and stay once a year in Empire and typically rent the same house. This was a last min trip and our usual place was full. We really enjoyed the cottage better than our normal place as it was slightly bigger and the kitchen and bath were a better fit for our family. Will definitely stay again

Do Not Recommend

This house has a great location. The yard is nice. It has a fire pit, a grill and table and chairs. However, the negative far outweighs the positive. We did not receive a code when we got there. The property was wide open. Between that, no AC, rodent droppings, and the general dingy look of the property it was not worth the cost.

First, let me say the location of Carol’s Cottage is fantastic. Easy walk to the beach and just behind the heart of Empire. That is where the good news ends for this review. We were notified 4 days before our trip that power would be out one night. Next, the internet/cable was out the entire time we were there. Vacasa had no clue despite the cable laying in the street and on the curb, I notified them. But the final straw was mice in the house. I noticed one crawling across the kitchen floor into the living room as I was having early morning coffee. I hoped that would be the last time, and my family wouldn’t have to know about it. But by the end of the trip, everyone had an encounter with the mice, and there were even droppings on the towel where I let “clean” dishes dry. Not to mention all of the droppings we discovered in the cupboards. When I told Vacasa about all three issues we had, they apologized, but that was it. I explained that I didn’t feel we received the house we paid for, and asked for some money back…. I am still awaiting “local management” to get back to me.

Great location, bad experience

First, let me say that the location of Carol’s Cottage is fantastic—an easy walk to the beach and just behind the heart of Empire. Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends. We were notified just four days before our trip that there would be a power outage for one night. Then, upon arrival, we discovered that the internet and cable were out for our entire stay. Despite the cable lying in the street and on the curb, Vacasa seemed unaware of the issue until I notified them. But the final straw was the presence of mice in the house. I first saw one scurry across the kitchen floor into the living room while I was having early morning coffee. I hoped that would be the last sighting and that my family wouldn’t have to know. Unfortunately, by the end of the trip, everyone had an encounter. We even found mouse droppings on the towel where I had left “clean” dishes to dry, as well as inside the cupboards. When I reported all three issues to Vacasa, they apologized—but that was the extent of their response. I explained that I didn’t feel we received the home we paid for and requested a partial refund. I’m still waiting to hear back from “local management.”

High Fees and Needs a Thorough Cleaning

I don’t understand the fee structure between, VRBO and VACASA. A 253.87 fee is charged for what purpose? There is a 98.00 fee for customer service? Why charge so much? The cottage wasn’t super clean, crumbs on the coffee table and mouse poop in the kitchen drawer from a packet of Parmesan cheese. The cob webs need to be cleaned from the corners of each room.

Beautiful home and great customer service

We initially booked a stay and arrived to find that the heating system was not functioning. With a phone call to customer service, they had someone out to look at it within a couple hours. When it turned out to not be an easy fix, they found a different property for us to move to, which was an even lovelier location and home. It turned out to be a clean and well appointed home with all the amenities to stay comfortably and with easy, close access to so many activities in the area! Thank you Vacasa!
