Hemma is a Scandinavian word for home—and that’s exactly how this space feels. Welcome to The Sleeping Bear Hemma, a thoughtfully designed, Scandinavian-inspired retreat tucked into the peaceful woods of Empire, right in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

This brand-new construction home blends clean Nordic design with modern comfort, creating a calm, cozy atmosphere surrounded by nature. Despite its serene, wooded setting, the home is centrally located—perfect for exploring beaches, trails, dunes, and charming nearby towns.

Spend your days adventuring through Sleeping Bear Dunes, hiking, biking, or enjoying Lake Michigan, then return to The Hemma to relax and unwind in the quiet of the forest. With abundant amenities, a tranquil setting, and an inviting, home-like feel, this unique space is designed to help you slow down, recharge, and truly feel at home.

About the Owner

We are Jill and Eric Hune. We live in Rockford, MI with our 2 kids. Eric is into building and mountain biking. Jill is into home design and early morning workouts. We fell in love with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore many years ago. We decided to take a risk and build a new home in Empire to share with our family and friends new and old.
