About this house rental

Hill house is the perfect place to stay to experience Northern Michigan. The home is nestled in between the quaint towns of Glen Arbor and Empire with the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail running right in front of the home. This trail is a paved, non-motorized trail that spans 22-miles between Empire and Bohemia Road. It connects to the attractions throughout Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore park and will take you through the towns of Glen Arbor and Empire as well. Families can bring their bikes or rent from a local bike shop. Take a quick ride up to the Dune Climb at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore located just 1/2 mile up the road. The home is a traditional Up North cottage but does offer conveniences such as Wi-Fi and laundry on site. The cottage is clean, well kept, has a fully stocked kitchen, and all of the basic amenities for your family vacation. The home is set up with two rooms for the adults, one with a queen bed and one with a double. There is an extra room for the kids containing a full size bed and a set of bunk beds! Outside of the home, guests can enjoy the firepit and take in the peacefulness of the area. Your well behaved dog does not need to miss out on this family vacation! Guests may bring one dog with them for an additional fee. The proximity to Sleeping Bear sand dunes, the scenic outlook, Lake Michigan and Glen Lake make this property ideal for making lasting memories of a great vacation!

The mounds of paperwork you require to rent this place is offputting. I seriously thought continuing my search. If you want to see how clean it is, sit on the toilet and close the bathroom door. Grimy. Rustic is a generous word. The house is obviously old but the furniture feels like something rescued from goodwill. The bugs are disgusting. Tell people to put all their food in the fridge. I loved the front deck and the towels are nice.

Great place to stay. All basic amenities present. Very clean. Be aware, parking requires good driving skills but that is just due to the nature and location of this property. Oh, if you bike it is right on the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail.

We enjoyed our stay at Hill house. I would have liked to have been told the flooring is OSB throughout the house. While there were rugs, it was not great. Parking was a lot more difficult but we figured it out.

As long time renters in this area we came across this new listing and were we ever pleased. Excellent location in regard to hiking, biking( on the trail) and beaching. The house is fully stocked from soft bath towels and sheets to a kitchen that was easy to cook in. There’s a charcoal grill and lovely deck for outdoor dining as well. Another plus: pet friendly! We would definitely recommend this rental and would return as well.
