- "The property was in an ideal setting and location to visit the sites of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat'l Lakeshore Park. Nice and serene location just outside of Empire. Enjoyed watching the crows come back at nite to roost in the woods behind the house and seeing the deer come out to graze. Morning coffee on the deck was very pleasant. It was an easy drive to the other quaint towns (Glen Arbor, Leland, Arcadia) and other attractions. Stonegable was very comfortable and clean with an abundance of amenities. Kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking supplies. The outdoor gas grill was a nice addition for preparing the evening meals. Maureen was a great host. She communicated with us and insured our stay went well. We would highly recommend this rental to our family and friends and are looking forward to renting it in the future."
