This house is straight out of a fairytale. I had a magical time and can’t wait to visit again. It’s fun to see how many people pass by each day to take photos and soak up the wonder of the Half House. Bill is a 10/10 host with communication and kindness.

The property was exactly as described and was as cute as can be! Me and my three girlfriends enjoyed our three nights stay. The location can’t be beat for its proximity to the beach and the charming town of Charlevoix.. It was fun staying in this historical house in this stunning neighborhood. I highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed the cozy little house. The cute details and supplies that were in the home. We did enjoy a few cold nights with the fireplace. That was a great experience! The fireplace is beautiful!! The view of the lake out the window with a morning coffee is a perfect way to begin the day. The only thing that could be improved is the walkway to the fort door.

The property was everything it was advertised to be - charming! A very unusual and unique property, it was a wonderful experience staying there for 2 nights. Also, so convenient to walk to downtown Charlevoix restaurants and stores - only a short 2-3 blocks away. Would recommend to anyone that wants to experience a stay in a very iconic and charming property.

Four charming ladies celebrating their best friends 80th birthday! We had an amazing two nights. To be able to stay in one of Earl Young Mushroom houses was a dream come true! The birthday girl said the bed was very comfortable. I’ll be 80 in six months and my sister and I stayed in the secret room upstairs. It was like being in a doll house. Thank you Bill for giving us the opportunity to experience an unforgettable vacation!
