    Heaven in a Tiny House
    The 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.

    Every comfort included in this charming house from the fireplace to the well equiped kitchen.
    It 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
    My 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
    We 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!
    Our 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!
    We 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.😊

    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.
