The Mushroom house is older, but I think that’s part of the charm! We had everything we needed for a cozy weekend stay. ...

Conveniently located mushroom 1/2 house

Weekend 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

My 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

Architectural 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

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.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Thom

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.
