Nothing fancy. A room with a kitchenette. Check in is super simple. Quiet area in September. Close to Glen lake. Shower is small and water pressure is low. More windows and a bigger TV would be nice. If you don't need much or want a kitchenette, check this place out.

Claimed they only had one room left and we got to the property it was empty all night.. boiling heater was really loud in the room. It's so loud that I barely slept at all. Almost looks like the property was in mid-renovation and not ready to be open.

I loved the location of this little hotel—it was within walking distance of the lake, less than a minute. The rooms were spacious and clean. I was there with my dog, and he had a terrific time. You can use the hotel kayaks, which is a plus.

This place was perfect for a night on our way to backpack in north Manitou, but I would consider it for a multi night stay exploring sleeping bear dunes. Empire is cute and has some dining options. There is also a small beach and sitting area on the lake for the resort. Just a tiny walk away for the room. Kitchenete and fridge, ice machine. Everything you need. Shower is very small and air conditioner loud but not a big deal for us.

We appreciated the ease of check in. Our room was VERY clean and comfortable, homey feel. By comparison to other places, I wished the beds were a bit softer, but loved the cool cotton sheets. Loved access to the kayaks and canoe down at the end of the street. Loved the close proximity to Sleeping Bear Lakeshore and Glen Arbor.

My wife and I and our furry kid stayed two nights and loved it! First time to the area, we want to come back! Clean, quiet and out of the way. Their beach was near by with kayaks available. Fire pit and grills available for guests as well. Thanks

Maple Lane is the perfect place for people who want to do lakeside rustic cabin rentals but are too bougie for that. It is quaint and quiet with an “old world” feel while also having easy lake access and a very walkable neighborhood. I thought I would feel weird about not having staff on site but it actually added to the camping adjacent feel. We loved our time here!

The Room Does The Job
We used the room for sleeping only so it does the job. The motel is very very close to Glen Lake which was the draw for us. It is old and could use updating. They don't offer in stay cleaning so that wasn't ideal. They do have a nice backyard area with a fire pit and games.
