Come and enjoy your cabin-away-from-home at the Sleeping Bear Lair in Empire, Michigan.

Whether you are planning a family vacation, a girls' weekend, a golf trip or a snowmobiling adventure, you always need a place to come back to that screams “Rest and Relaxation”, and that is precisely what you will get at the Sleeping Bear Lair.

The ground floor has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed, and a full-size bathroom.

Also upstairs, you will find another full bathroom, a combo guestroom with a king bed, two twin beds, and a lounging area with a smart TV. All rooms have ample storage for clothing. Most importantly, all mattresses are pressure relieving, 12-inch thick memory foam, come with a variety of pillows, and are made with high quality linens.

The first-floor laundry is conveniently located near the kitchen. We have provided laundry detergent and fabric softener for your washing needs, as well as an iron and small ironing board. You will also find 'Smores sticks for roasting marshmallows in the kitchen drawer, and doggie supplies for your pet's stay.

Summary: Absolutely perfect space and property! I wish we all could have stayed longer. Everything needed was laid out impeccably! A couple of small items: the amount of toilet paper was insufficient -- what was described was, 3 rolls would be provided in each bathroom. Instead each bathroom had only partial rolls. We had to go out to purchase more! Paper towel was also in short supply.Other then these small items, we all loved the Sleeping Bear Lair... It helped us all get rested and ready for race day!
