Notes
- The house will accommodate four in beds, however I do not recommend more than two adults. The second bedroom located upstairs is small with two twin beds, and better suited for two children or close family members. There is an additional full-size sleeper sofa in the living room, however it IS in the living room! Perfect for stretching out and reading, looking out the picture window at Lake Michigan, or gazing at a blazing fire.

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!
Bill Thom purchased this cottage in 2001
Why Bill Thom chose Charlevoix
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 cottage 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.
