The Space:
✦ The Home: This pristine, 1,576-square-foot home was newly constructed in 2024 and
uniquely designed by renowned architect Ross Chapin. Professionally decorated to offer the
perfect blend of coastal charm and modern luxury, the cottage glows with natural light from 31
windows and skylights. At the end of an action-packed day, come home to full central air
conditioning, relax by the gas fireplace, or pour a drink from the built-in wine cooler.

Located right in the heart of the Village of Empire, Michigan, you are three blocks from the
coastline and minutes from Empire Beach, the iconic Empire Bluff Trail, salmon fishing, and
local wine tasting. Our location features magnificent dark skies, making our patio an incredible
spot for your nighttime stargazing.

Dual Living Spaces (Family and Teen Friendly):
The Main Living Room features plush seating, a cozy gas fireplace, and a 55” Smart TV. Down
the hall, a separate cozy Study/TV room features a second 55” Smart TV and a sectional couch
for giving kids or adults their own separate space for movie nights or quiet reading. Both TVs in
our home are set to Guest Mode.

Important Neighborhood Guidelines
To help us remain excellent neighbors in our close-knit village community, all guests must
strictly observe these neighborhood regulations and deed restrictions:
1. Maximum Occupancy: Coho Cottage is permitted to host a maximum of 6 registered
guests on the property at any time. Unregistered guests, including day visitors, friends, or
outside family, are strictly prohibited on the premises.
2. Dedicated Private Parking: Coho Cottage provides a private stone parking pad off the
back of the house with free parking for up to 3 vehicles.
o Pad Parking Only: All vehicles must be parked entirely on the stone pad.
o No Street Parking: Neighborhood regulations strictly prohibit street parking at
any time. Vehicles parked on the street are subject to local towing.
o Keep Off the Grass: Do not park, idle, or pull any tires onto the lawn. Because
the property relies on a sensitive underground septic system, parking on the grass
causes severe and costly damage to the utility lines.
