This gorgeous post and beam frame was built from 100-year-old red pine from the Torch Lake area by master log home builders. This home has a beautiful wood fireplace and the floors are hardwood: black locust, cherry, red oak, white oak, and black walnut. The house has radiant heat in the floors to make these floors a pleasure to walk in the winter even without socks!

Family Get Away
We stayed at the Empire Therapy and had the best experience imaginable. We came into the house to a nice welcome gift from our hosts. The home was spacious, nicely maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. The extra amenities like the pool table, ping pong table, and hot tub were enjoyed by everyone. Having strongly WiFi was important and I was able to work without any issues. The location was within 20 minutes or less of all the attractions we wanted to enjoy. Our host Kelsey was great. She was quick to respond to the few questions I had and periodically checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was good. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect location for family weekend
Empire Therapy was the perfect place for our family weekend with 4 adult couples. The house was perfectly situated for time in Traverse City and Leelanau Peninsula activities. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining area and deck had plenty of room for all of us. Bedrooms and bathrooms are even better than the pictures, very comfortable! We will stay again on future visits.

This "therapy" property was a perfect getaway and centrally located to both Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. We never once felt like we weren't at home since everything we needed was there. The beds were uber comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked. There were plenty of towels for everyone. Zero complaints. Should we ever vacation in the area again we would undoubtedly stay at this property.

Family getaway
We had 8 of us in our party and a one year old. We all stayed with plenty of room. Beds were very comfortable king sized beds and the open space in the living/dining/kitchen area was great! Large deck for everyone to enjoy the outside and plenty of seating at the fire pit! They had toys for kids which was great for our granddaughter. Also lots of room in the basement to play some pool or ping pong. You are only about 10 mins from empire and Glen arbor. There is a golf course just down the road as well. We were very happy with our stay and will be returning! Thanks Kelsey!
