Special house
I loved our stay. The view of the water from the front room is beautiful. It looks s such a cute house and very comfortable. It was chilly when we were there so we drove to town and around the historic neighborhood which we could have walked if warmer. My 6 foot tall husband fit in very well.

Great Stay in a Mushroom House
We loved our two-night stay in Half House, a lovely little mushroom house in Charlevoix. Our adult daughter enjoyed sleeping in the attic bedroom. The house has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan from the picture window of the living room. It's located very close to downtown Charlevoix, with easy access to drive up to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. We didn't make a fire, but the stone fireplace dominates the living room. The kitchen is well-equpped. The master bed is comfortable. We were very pleased.

February Trip
The Mushroom house is older, but I think that’s part of the charm! We had everything we needed for a cozy weekend stay. Our kids thought the house was the coolest house they’d ever seen and loved the little secret upstairs bedroom.

Charming and delightful
We were looking for a place with a wood burning fireplace close to hiking and a restaurant. WOW we found so much more! The history and reality of Earl Young’s mushroom houses was a wonderful surprise. This rental was comfy and cozy and clean. Definitely would recommend. Charlevoix is full of fine dining, we had many great meals. Fisherman Island State Park is an amazing place for outdoor adventure.

About the host

Host profile image
Book with someone you can trust! I was raised in Michigan and fell in love with the charm & natural beauty of 'Up North' many years ago. Our family spent summers in Charlevoix, but now my four children are grown and scattered across the country from Virginia to Washington. It's your turn to experience the wonder of Half House!

Why they chose this property

I have been a homeowner in Charlevoix for over twenty five years. I purchased Half House in 2001 and quite frankly, I couldn't believe it was for sale! It is perfectly located directly across from the beach and just two blocks to downtown.

What makes this property unique

I love the quirky eccentricity of this fairytale home. It has so much history and character; thoroughly enchanting! I am pleased to now be able to share it with you.
