Summary:
The Salisbury House has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, a private yard, back deck, and is located across from the park, in the Village of Empire!
The Space:
This comfortable three-bedroom home sleeps up to six guests, with queen beds in each bedroom. The primary suite includes a jacuzzi tub and separate shower, while the shared guest bathroom offers a shower/tub combination. The open-concept main living area is ideal for gathering, and the backyard deck provides a great space for outdoor dining during warmer months.
Located on a quiet street in the Village of Empire, the home sits directly across from a small neighborhood park with green space, a baseball diamond, and public tennis courts—perfect for families and relaxed outdoor time.

Empire Beach offers two distinct waterfront areas—Lake Michigan and South Bar Lake—ideal for swimming, beach days, and small-boat fishing.
The public beach area features a playground, basketball and volleyball courts, restrooms, picnic areas, fire pits, and a swimming dock. Be sure to plan for sunset—Empire is known for its unforgettable evening skies. Bring a chair, a drink (no glass on the beach), and enjoy Northern Michigan at its best.

Summary: It was close to the Empire beach and Sleeping Bear sites. The home was clean and had a well-equipped kitchen. The weather was cool so we enjoyed the fireplace. Very family friendly. Check in and out was great. Empire is a nice town. We would definitely come back to this location. One minor thing that could be improved — towels. Kitchen could use more and bath towels are getting worn.
