Property Description
Over 450 five-star reviews! Charlevoix’s #1 vacation rental! Architect and dreamer Earl Young created a magical world with his unique and eccentric stone cottages in Charlevoix. Half House is absolutely one of the most adorable homes you will ever see! Now you can experience it for yourself. Enjoy the sandy beach, lighthouse and breathtaking sunsets just outside your door. Half House is an easy two block stroll to the quaint village of Charlevoix for shopping, dining, marina, ferry, drawbridge and music in the park. Everything you will need for a comfortable vacation is included: luxurious cotton bed linens and towels, firewood and kindling, free wireless internet, books, music, Roku smart flatscreen TV with streaming channels and DVD player, kitchenware, beach chairs, plus an endless supply of hot water! Not to mention the spectacular view of majestic Lake Michigan! This cozy two bedroom home accommodates four guests quite comfortably. Relax! Sorry, no pets allowed. Please note that Half House has no central air conditioning. The earthen stone structure and steady cool breeze blowing in over the cold waters of Lake Michigan keep the home comfortable. We also provide fans in every room. Need more space or your dates aren't available?

Thank you so much. It was a great place to rest and restore. It was on our list of places to stay and I am so happy we could do this as a family.

Bill was very welcoming and had the place all ready to go. We ran into some internet issues near the end, but Bill was quick to respond and went above and beyond for us. The place was so cute and close to town, would love to visit again!

The house is absolutely amazing and exactly what we wanted but above our expectations. The inside felt very homey, it was easy to settle. I should note it’s part of a historic architectural house, so people did take pictures of the house and approach it and the curtains covered us but were sheer. We explored Charlevoix and surrounding spots and had a wonderful time.

Really enjoyed our stay in the half house! Check in process was very easy. Location is great, nice views of the lake and within walking distance to the beach or downtown.

What a wonderful home and experience. Your home was cozy, clean, comfortable and oh so interesting! I was so glad to have such great reading materials on the history of the home available since we were stopped frequently by people curious about the property - how fun to be able to answer some of their questions and recommend a stay in person. The location was perfect in that it was a short walk to the beach, and a short walk to town. There was a nice walking trail across the street and beautiful neighborhood to walk through as well. The home was equipped with everything we needed. I can't recommend this property enough and will definitely be back some day!

This was our second time to stay at Hobbit House. This home is absolutely delightful and charming. Bill is great to assist in anything that is needed. The house is so well-stocked with anything you might need. Nothing beats the view of Lake Michigan right out the front window or sitting in the chairs outside. A stay in Hobbit House is truly magical.

Will, we really enjoyed our two nights at the hobbit house! It’s a special experience and our walks around the neighborhood were equally enjoyable. It’s very fun to be on the inside of the mushroom house world as tourist wander about the neighborhood!

The house was just charming. Location was great. Can see the lake & sunsets from the front window. Fireplace was cozy on the cool nights. Within walking distance to everything - the lake, shops, and restaurants. Just a fun place to stay in a beautiful area. Host was prompt in response to any questions.
