About this cottage rental

Over 400 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.

We loved the house nice and cozy. Not far from beach or downtown. House was exactly like the host said. No surprises when we arrived. Hattie & Buz

My parents loved staying here and learning all about the area and Earl Young homes! Both said it was amazing which is awesome because they rarely agree on much. Thanks so much highly recommended to anyone else interested in architecture and history in Charlevoix

Staying at the Half House feels like being in a fairy tale. We enjoyed all the vintage touches, cozy feel, and location—the nearby lake and historic neighborhood were all we needed to unwind. This little place is truly a welcome break from the bland sameness of hotels.

I lived in Charlevoix for one summer during college, a few blocks away from Park Avenue and always loved going by the Hobbit houses. I came back to MI after living in CA for many years to show off this beautiful part of the state and this wonderful town to my husband and daughters. I was not disappointed. Staying in the Half House topped off the experience! Despite its tiny size, it is well furnished with everything you might need - with whimsical knick knacks scattered throughout adding to its charm. Previous reviews prepared me for the tour buses going by and the trick to finding the second bedroom (behind a closet door!). One caveat, the attic bedroom was a little cramped for my 2 adult daughters, but the setting and proximity to the Lake and town was worth it. And being able to leave without doing a million things to get it ready for housekeepers was a bonus, especially since checkout is at 10am. That would be the only thing I would change - to 11am. Even so, I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Very nice place to stay and interesting history to experience. Although the house is small it had all the amenities to make your stay perfect. Hope to return soon.

Our little family of three (my partner, myself, and our 2.5 year old child) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We used a pack-and-play upstairs and our child slept beautifully. We appreciated the many amenities and, honestly, you won't find a better location than this. Walk down the hill and you're at a playground and the beach. Or walk 5 minutes and you're in the heart of downtown Charlevoix. Note for the really tall people out there: the ceilings are lower than average, so if you're over 6' 2" it might feel cramped. We were thoroughly charmed by the place and look forward to staying here again in the future. It was great!

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.
