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.

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.
