Looking for that rich blend of adventure, relaxation and breathtaking natural attractions? Look no further than the Sleeping Bear Lair! Situated between downtown Traverse City and the majestic shoreline of Lake Michigan, our home is tucked away amongst the rolling terrain and towering trees of Northern Michigan. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a short drive away, as are more than 30 wineries across the Leelanau & Old Mission Peninsulas that begin just minutes from the house.
Come and enjoy your cabin-away-from-home at the Sleeping Bear Lair in Empire, Michigan. Nestled within a beautifully wooded 3+ acre estate, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom house is the perfect spot for 8 guests but can accommodate 10 upon request. The house is centrally located near Crystal Mountain, Benzie & Leelanau County snowmobile trails, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Glen Arbor, Cedar, Traverse City and much more.
The spacious living room invites you and your guests into this comfortable home with 300-mbps Wi-Fi and four Roku TV's setup to play your favorite streaming services. Be sure to bring your log-in information. We have provided games for all ages and entertainment, and feel free to "Bring a Book, Leave a Book" with the growing collection of reading materials.
Since the kitchen is the heartbeat of a home, we have equipped it with all the cookware you will need, including a crock pot, toaster, griddle, blender and a well-stocked Keurig coffee & hot cocoa station.
Whether you are planning a family vacation, a girls' weekend, a golf trip or a snowmobiling adventure, you always need a place to come back to that screams “Rest and Relaxation”, and that is precisely what you will get at the Sleeping Bear Lair.
The ground floor has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed, and a full-size bathroom. In the second floor lofts, the spacious primary bedroom has a queen bed, an en suite bathroom, and a walkout deck. Also upstairs, you will find another full bathroom, a combo guestroom with a king bed, two twin beds, and a lounging area with a smart TV. All rooms have ample storage for clothing. Most importantly, all mattresses are pressure relieving, 12-inch thick memory foam, come with a variety of pillows, and are made with high quality linens.
The first-floor laundry is conveniently located near the kitchen. We have provided laundry detergent and fabric softener for your washing needs, as well as an iron and small ironing board. You will also find 'Smores sticks for roasting marshmallows in the kitchen drawer, and doggie supplies for your pet's stay.
Outside you have hammocks for napping in the shade, Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, and corn hole boards for settling all disputes. Lastly, the large private lot is surrounded by beautiful trees and has ample parking for your boat or snowmobiles, and any outside toys you wish to bring!
Empire is home to this cabin. Mistwood Golf Course and Lake Ann Brewing Company are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Lake Michigan. Interlochen Center for the Arts and Burnett Park are also worth visiting.
