Top Hotels Near Armstrong Lake in Empire from NZ$185

"We were going to Sleeping Bear Dunes so there really are not a lot of options for stays. The service was fast on the phone during business hours. I did not love that the after hour check-in requires taking a key from a public box for safety reasons. The pillows and bed were very uncomfortable. When we got to our room the heat was not on and the room was at 59 degrees, mind you it is 40 and dropping. We spent a long time trying to determine how to turn the heat on (it is not using the wall thermostat but the ac looking unit which is very difficult to get to as a counter top was installed right on top of it). The unit proceeds to blow cold and hot air. Both the bath tub and toilet are leaking water and the bathroom floor is warping because of it. Additionally, you can hear everything from the rooms around you and outside (I can see why they provide a white noise machine). Aside from all of that the room was clean. Hard to recommend but I know it’s one of the only options."

"Absolutely stunning in every which way. Keeping a bookmark in it for any other trips to Leelanau!Everything was clean, gorgeous views and woodwork in the house. And the hosts have plenty info to share with you about the area and we’re always ready to answer any questions!"

"Great little place for our family and dog to have a mini getaway. Close to sleeping bear. Nice snd private . Beautiful view. Will have to come back in the summer! Thanks! "

"First, I must say the mattresses could definitely use some updating. I believe they are memory foam, but it took me two nights to realize I was sleeping in a hole in one of them. They’re not very level. With that being said, everything else was excellent. The house is much larger in person than it looks like in pictures and the location is perfect. If you don’t want to be too close to the city. Anytime I had to communicate with the owner I got a response within a few minutes. It was a very nice experience and I will definitely stay there again."

"Beautiful location and beautiful cabin! Host is very easy to get ahold of. Very quiet and comfortable. "

"This little house was just perfect for two friends getting away for fall break. It was cozy, warm and the perfect size. Also it is a great location between Glen Arbor, Leland, Suttons Bay, the dunes...everything."

"The lake is beautiful, peaceful, and serene. It was really nice to have kayaks and SUP’s at our disposal. The sauna is a nice touch, too. The property is set in a private, woodsy location, so if you’re trying to get away from it all, this is your place! The house is clean and kept up very nicely. It’s very spacious and comfortable. The host and hostess are super accommodating and respond promptly to any needs or inquiries. You will love it here! We sure did!"

"The cottage was wonderful! Very clean and homey with plenty of gorgeous views. "

"It was a great location and had a gorgeous view of the lake. Quiet area and close to all shops, restaurants and hiking. But , we would not stay here again. The cleanliness of the house was really bad and it had a smell, probably because of how dirty and dusty it was. I understand a vacation rental isn’t going to be perfect but this went beyond, especially for paying almost 5000 for the week. All the lamp shades and plastic plants were covered in dust. Some areas of the carpet were crunchy. The bedding smelled like “body”. The upholstered furniture was stained. There were several ant traps in the kitchen and 2 fly papers hanging in the kitchen. The kitchen sink was dirty and we had to wash pots and pans before using. The water was so metallic, you couldn’t drink it and you smelled like the water after taking a shower. We did not contact the owner because we were already there and wouldn’t get a refund. If they would have sent a cleaning crew, it would have taken an entire day from us, unfortunately. "
