About this property

Empire Therapy-AC/GameRoom/Fireplace/HotTub

Perfect launching pad for all your Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City area adventures! Less than 30 min. to ski Crystal! This gorgeous post and beam frame was built from 100-year-old red pine from the Torch Lake area by master log home builders. This home has a beautiful wood fireplace and the floors are hardwood: black locust, cherry, red oak, white oak, and black walnut. The house has radiant heat in the floors to make these floors a pleasure to walk in the winter even without socks!

Family Get Away
We stayed at the Empire Therapy and had the best experience imaginable. We came into the house to a nice welcome gift from our hosts. The home was spacious, nicely maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. The extra amenities like the pool table, ping pong table, and hot tub were enjoyed by everyone. Having strongly WiFi was important and I was able to work without any issues. The location was within 20 minutes or less of all the attractions we wanted to enjoy. Our host Kelsey was great. She was quick to respond to the few questions I had and periodically checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was good. We will definitely stay here again.
