The Dune Path home in Empire MI was beautiful, fully stocked with Linens, dishes, paper towels, TP, Kleenex, Plastic wrap, foil, Plastic bags, Spices, Ice maker on refrigerator, Maps of the town, Toys for kids and adults, extra blankets and Beach towels. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. Huge shower and soaking tub (grand kids loved it), Private Beach was great and extra nice with Kayaks, canoe, shuffle board and provided life jackets. The lake is very shallow which made it very nice for the littles to play in safely and very enjoyable walks for the adults. The area is absolutely gorgeous. The house backs right up to Sleeping Bear National Park and is in the middle of a forested area. At night it's so relaxing. And finding all the hidden Petoskey stones in the house was fun for everyone. We're already planning to return for our family gathering for next year.

Long weekend getaway

Our family enjoyed our stay at Dune Path! It was beautiful and quiet. Beds were comfortable, lots of board games for all ages, plastic plates for our toddlers, and walking distance to the dune climb.

Amazing location for visiting the dunes. The house was lovely. The only disappointment was with the queen mattresses. They both should have been replaced years ago and instead toppers were placed on top and either they need to be replaced or they just aren’t good enough to hide the fact the mattresses are so bad. If you have a bad back as I do or need a decent mattress to sleep you should consider that when looking at this property. We survived by having the kids take the big beds and sleeping in the bunks because those mattresses are reasonably new and supportive. We didn’t have any other issues worth noting.

Hi Jennifer - thank you so much for the review and I am so glad you enjoyed Dune Path. I really appreciate your thoughts on the mattress and the owners just replaced it with a brand new mattress and boxspring. Without feedback like yours we wouldn't have known. Thanks again!
