Re-imagined Charlevoix Michigan Mushroom House, a thatched romantic getaway!

The Chalet is a cozy retreat on the shores of Lake Michigan... And is part of a more expansive property anchored by The Thatch House

Set back behind the main house , The Chalet is entirely separate with no access from the main house. With its own private entrance, The Chalet offers a "secret hideaway" made for the romantic at heart.... Perfect for honeymooners from Castle Farms, anniversary celebrations, romantic birthday getaways, and so much more!

A spiral staircase leads to the secluded couple's bedroom on the lower level, while the children can play and sleep on the level above, in the loft (not suitable for very young children as the access is by library-type ladder)

The kitchen and living area offer rustic charm, being handmade by "unknown small mystical craftsmen" working late at night by candle light. It is said that if one sits quietly on a moonlit night, these magical gnomes can be spotted checking on the Chalet to make certain that everything is still in perfect condition....

The charming Chalet can be enjoyed as a romantic getaway for a couple who will find their master suite downstairs and a living area and compact kitchen above, or for family visitors, there is the awesome carpeted loft area with two twin beds. The main floor also has a queen size sleeper sofa if you need it, along with a powder room.

During the day, walk to the white sandy beach, just steps from your door, to enjoy the beautiful lake, or walk 3 or 4 minutes into town for shopping and restaurants. You can walk to the beautiful Charlevoix marina/park in a few minutes. It all adds up to a very relaxing stay.

For those interested in lengthy exercise sessions, there are beautiful walking paths and bike trails and even 2 fitness centers nearby. The Chalet's close proximity to the beach makes it ideal for those who enjoy water sports. During the summer months paddle boards are rented right at the shore.

ADORABLE & UNIQUE!
My husband and I (and 1 yr old shitzu) stayed 2 nights in the Mushroom House. We enjoyed every single moment in this super clean, unique, beautiful home. We felt as if we were in a storybook fairytale elfin village! Even the floors are heated! Beds are comfy, (all furniture was comfortable.) We will definitely go back, probably for an anniversary, since this was a honeymoon stay. Love love love this place!

Thatch House Chalet
This is a very interesting and fun property to visit. It was well appointed and well equipped (including an outside grill) and the property managers were superb in every way. The garden and sitting areas outside provided additional and private space plus were photo beautiful. If you add that this property is convenient and in walking distance to everything in Charlevoix: beach, shops , and restaurants then it checks all boxes.

We absolutely loved the entire experience we had at "The Chalet"!!! From the moment of our arrival, to the last minute of our check out, we were able to make great lasting memories. It was so nice to leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in allowing us to stay at your home and for being such a wonderful host. Our experience was complete tranquility!!!

The Chalet was a unique and enchanting place to stay near the city of Charlevoix. We loved the rustic charm, winding staircase and views of the trees so close to the windows!

Charlevoix thanksgiving!
We drove our car not 1 time for our entire stay. Walking distance to the lake, a lighthouse and town. The cottage was as cool as the pictures. Awesome atmosphere. The space was a little tight, but we adjusted. Super responsive host when we had questions. Everything was easy and unique. The town felt like our own…pretty quiet leading up to Thanksgiving. Perfect location!

Surprise birthday and anniversary!
Loved! Loved! Loved this beautiful quaint home. It exceeded my expectations. Barbara was wonderful to work with as this was a surprise for my husbands birthday and a celebration of our 46th anniversary. We would love to come back next year when we return to Michigan.
