Empire House | Glen Lake Ridge Summa

2 Bedroom House with TV, Sports and Bedding

Summary:
A mid-century classic perched on a beautiful ridge overlooking Glen Lake, right in the middle of all that Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the Glen Arbor area have to offer. Surrounded by trees, with a view of the lake beyond, this secluded hide-away is everything you could hope for while on vacation on one of the most beautiful areas in Michigan!
The Space:
The Place - This home is 2,700 square feet.
The newly renovated main living area has loads of natural light and a wood burning fireplace, large viewing windows, and a furniture set-up that makes for great socializing and relaxing chill time. The dining area is positioned next to a large window as is the height adjustable work station. The large smart TV makes for great movie viewing.
The main bedroom has a sunrise facing slider and a new luxury king bed. The closet has vintage wallpaper (that is a sure-fire crowd pleaser). The second bedroom has a new luxury queen bed.
2 Full bathrooms on the main level. One with shower and tub, one with walk-in shower.
On the lower level, there is a half bath and two trundle beds. Also on the lower level is a ping pong table and a TV area for gaming, and a game table for 4.
There is a garage available for storing your bike, kayak, paddleboard or any other toys you bring along. There is also paved parking for a boat trailer with easy access.
The deck is set up for viewing the scenery along with outdoor dining for six. An elevated outdoor firepit gives the feeling of being on top of the world. An additional patio offers another chilling and grilling spot. We have a propane grill available for you to use!
Please note this home does not have direct lake access, but it is just steps away from a DNR boat ramp.
Guest Access:
Welcome to northern Michigan, where our wintertime weather can swing from glorious to ferocious in a flash. Each of our properties has snow removal service scheduled to plow with each snowfall amounting to at least 3 inches of snow. If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.
This home's driveway is very steep. So please take this into consideration.
The Neighborhood:
Explore Alligator Hill right out the back door, or within a five minute drive, you can climb the famous Dune Climb, visit Glen Haven beach, or hike/bike the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail.
Rent a boat at The Narrows marina on Big Glen or launch your own at the public launch on Little Glen Lake - both are a short walk away.
Glen Arbor and Lake Michigan are 2.5 miles down the road. This property is unique in that is provides a close to nature vibe that flows from a park like setting and a large elevated lot with expansive views of the surrounding area. Its close to everything except your neighbor.
Other Things to Note:
Please Note: All guests staying at this property must be 25 or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This will be verified after booking confirmation.
A damage waiver fee is required by Golden Swan for each stay. For this property, the fee is $69 and provides our guests with accidental damage coverage up to $600. If the amount of damage exceeds this, or if the damage is found to have occurred with malicious intent, Golden Swan retains the right to seek damages beyond that amount.
There is a non-refundable credit card processing fee applied to all reservations.
If the reservation is 14 days or longer there will be a required mid-stay clean. This is also available upon request for a shorter length of stay.
Dogs are allowed with an additional fee, with a maximum of 2 dogs. Please be advised that it is absolutely imperative for all renters to keep their dogs on a leash at all times. While we truly appreciate and value pets, ensuring that our furry friends are leashed or properly secured is of utmost importance to us.
