Conveniently located mushroom 1/2 house
Posted May 31, 2024 on HomeAwayWeekend trip with my daughter. We loved the downtown location and could walk to shops and restaurants. The house had such charm and we got a kick out of seeing the house we were in on the front cover of several mushroom house books in the local stores.

A wonderful stay in the heart of Charlevoix
Posted May 27, 2024 on HomeAwayMy family and I had a wonderful time in the Half Hobbit House! It was the perfect size for a family of 3 (two adults and a 2.5 year old). It was only three blocks from downtown Charlevoix and a block from the beach. We enjoyed the evenings watching the sunset from the unobstructed view. Don’t miss out on this home!

A whimsical treat
Posted May 16, 2024 on HomeAwayArchitectural wonder was Half House. Low ceilings, narrow hallway & a secret bedroom that relieved us thinking we’d be sharing the bed. The pathway to the house is challenging for those with mobility issues . The view of Lake Michigan sunsets were spectacular! A GREAT location in Charlivoix

Heaven in a Tiny House
Posted Apr 28, 2024 on HomeAwayThe coziness of this fairytale home is without compare. Perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, this hobbit house is within walking distance of all downtown Charlevoix has to offer along with easy access to parks and beaches. I adored staying here and look forward to the opportunity to do so again.

Posted Apr 27, 2024 on HomeAwayIt was a charming stay in this historic home. The view of Lake Michigan was spectacular and not to be missed. We are hoping to return to this one of a kind house.

Great stay at the half house
Posted Apr 22, 2024 on HomeAwayMy friend and I stayed for a girls' weekend and it was the perfect, cozy space. It was very clean and comfortable - and very cute. We enjoyed all the provided entertainment, the views of Lake Michigan (right across the street!) and the easy walk into town (less than ten minutes). We would definitely stay here again.

A hidden gem
Posted Apr 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWe really enjoyed our stay at the Half House. Such a special place to stay and the view is incredible. We sat in the recliners and watched the beautiful sunset right from the living room. Had a sense of calm just being there. The only thing that I would critique is that we felt like the home needed a little TLC. It's such an incredible part of Michigan history and so unique but the inside needs a little spruce up and some fresh paint. Would it stop me from visiting again? Absolutely not.
Outside of the home itself, the owner Bill is one of the best hosts I've ever worked with. He always responded to my message quickly even if they weren't an "emergency" He was very kind and understanding. He worked with me to get the best stay possible even when some problems came up on my end. Long story short, treat yourself to a stay at this one of a kind home with an incredible host. It'll be an experience you never forget.

Hobbit House visit!
Posted Apr 9, 2024 on HomeAwayOur family of four had a wonderful stay at the Hobbit House! Such a great treat for our young children... the house was the stuff of dreams and it was within a block of the beach/park/library. We will be back as often as we can afford it! A special treat!

Everything we hoped it would be!
Posted Apr 8, 2024 on HomeAwayWe loved the history of The Half house. It was a lovely neighborhood within a block of Lake Mi and a few blocks from downtown Charlevoix. We loved learning about Earl Young’s mushroom houses. Thank you for a delightful stay.😊
