What a treat! Our group of 4 women thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Half House. Everything about it from the location, charming decor, comfy beds, and historic vibe made it a memorable experience.

Amazing! We lived in Charlevoix 55 yrs ago as newlyweds in the Coast Guard. Husband spoke with Earl Young to rent the Half House. Couldn’t afford at 150 mo!!! ! So this was soo fun. Beach down the hill, town is walk able everywhere. It’s pretty much original so enjoy the history of it!!! We’ll be back!

Its adorable. A self guided tour has you having to open all the doors and drawers to find all of its secrets. Its like an Easter egg hunt. It does need to have a notation explaining the house is part of a historic tour and there are frequent cars stopping and pictures are being taken. It wasn't a problem. We just thought people were thinking it was adorable too.

Half House We really enjoyed our stay at Half House. It was really close to the beach and downtown area. While it didn't have A/C, it insulated well and was comfortable at night.

Charming & Cozy Home We visited Charlevoix for the second time to celebrate our niece's wedding and weekend festivities. We knew from our first visit that the mushroom houses were special, and we were excited to find one available for our visit. The home is small, but cozy (tall people need to be aware!). Our son was comfortable in the upstairs secret bedroom. Special touches with decor, books, and comfortable seating made the weekend while at the home very enjoyable. The large picture window providing views of Lake Michigan, summer flowers, and area wildlife were perfect.

Charming cottage close to beach This special house was comfortable yet quirky. It is a hobbit house in a neighborhood of hobbit houses. Close to the beach and to downtown Charlevoix. Perfect for 2 afults!

Mushroom House with all the charm We loved staying in an iconic mushroom house (smallest one I think) and the house is surprisingly spacious. The design of the “Half House” is well-organized inside, you just feel like an oversized person in a hobbit house in the most adorable way (yes, ceiling height was great!). The fireplace was our favorite feature. Our host was kind and gracious, all amenities were supplied and we just loved it here.
