Book Leelanau County Hotels

"Great location for Sleeping Bear Dunes and surrounding area! Within walking distance of restaurants, beach, gas station, and National Park Visitor's Center. Hotel was very nice, quiet, clean, and comfortable. Empire is a nice little town. Empire Village Inn pizza is amazing! Catch the sunset at Empire beach or on Empire Bluffs Trail!"

"The location was perfect. It was too cold for water activities, but having campfires on the beach was amazing! The host was extremely nice and accommodating, he even left flowers for us after discovering we were there on our mini-honeymoon. Will definitely keep this spot in mind for future trips!"

"Room very clean, breakfast excellent, staff very friendly."

"Beautifully designed and clean space located within walking distance to a peaceful and lively beach. We had a great visit at the Barn and would absolutely stay here again. A couple of things to be aware of - 1) there are three septic system from various properties that drain to the back of the house. We had the unfortunate experience of the truck coming to drain those three receptacles while we we getting ready to head out for the day - very smelly and gross. 2) The intersection on Bay 22 had a bridge reconstruction going on during our visit so we could hear the generators running all night and it definitely took a bit of the charm out of our visit with construction guys milling around at the end of the driveway and a ton of equipment and cones, etc. I don’t know how long this will carry on but you may want to ask before booking.One last thing - if you use the kayaks on the lake you need to have a pfd in the kayak with you. I was pulled over by the water-sheriff and ticketed for no pfd. 115. :/We had a perfect amount of space - our teens took the loft - and the kitchen was perfection for family dinners. They did have spices and basics, so that was great, and there is a BRITA for filtered water. The outdoor shower is fantastic and the beds were cozy. The walk to the beach is perfect and the sunsets are unmatchable. Loved it."

"Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of the water. The only issue with the room that I didn’t consider was the noise from the traffic . Otherwise everything was very clean and we had everything we needed. We were very happy with our stay and the employee that helped us accommodated us with an upgrade . We will be back! "

"Amazing!"

"It was wonderful. We were there for a family function not far away, so we were not there for the entire day. Also, keep in mind when you look at my review, I knew before-hand that there was no central air and that we shared (2) bathrooms with others on our floor (3rd floor). Our stay was during August that had 90+ degree days. We had a window air conditioner and a fan in our room that was more than adequate to cool our room in a short amount of time. We would turn off the air conditioner when we left for the day and when we returned, it would take about 10 minutes to cool the room. Due to the fact that they had 2 bathrooms available, there was only one time (in the morning) that I had to wait, no more than 10 minutes, to use the bathroom. The beach is so nice. Lots of beach chairs there to use.Children played and swam while we watched. There is a raft not very far out that they played on. A teatherball set and the firepits made the beach area complete. Up at the hotel, they had many chairs and porch rockers on the outside porch that faced the lake. Inside, they also have a "game room" with, as I remembered, a shuffle board table, pool, pingpong and fooseball. I think that there may also have had board games available. What a great area for non-video family fun. We had a beautiful stay and plan on returning next year."

"Right on the water with easy access to the lake for swimming. Lots of areas to find solitude within the house and many porches. Owners were quick to respond to questions we had. "

"My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, modern home. The space was clean, stylish, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable visit. Although we initially had trouble accessing the unit due to unclear instructions, once we got in, everything was fantastic. We truly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and thoughtful touches throughout. We’re definitely planning to come back! "
