As you plot your next in-state vacation, keep this charming and utterly fascinating little rental on your list of destination options.
If you’ve ever visited the waterfront town of Charlevoix, you might be familiar with the work of architect Earl Young. Throughout the area, Young’s so-called “Mushroom Houses” make for a truly charming sight.
Eccentricity and fun abound throughout each of the houses, but there’s one particularly lovely little house that will make you feel like you’re experiencing life as a hobbit. It’s known lovingly as Half House.
This welcoming house sits just a stone’s throw from all of Charlevoix’s top attractions, from beachfront beauty to shopping and dining galore. When you rent this enchanting cottage through VRBO, you’ll be enamored immediately.
Half House is a 720-square-foot gem that features two bedrooms and sleeping arrangements for up to four guests. Its enchanting stone exterior and brown thatched roof truly look like something out of Hobbiton.
Inside the home, you’ll find an ideal combination of timeless touches and modern amenities. Cozy up around the living room fireplace on a chilly day or unwind outside in the yard when temperatures are warmer.
There’s also a beautifully equipped kitchen, full bathroom, two televisions, wireless internet, and so much more. Whether you’re here with a sweetheart or the entire family, Half House will capture your heart.
Be sure to appreciate beautiful Lake Michigan views before heading out for a day of exploration. Within minutes, you can stroll from Half House to parks, shops, cafes, and all sorts of other worthwhile spots.
The next time you find yourself daydreaming about embarking on a truly fantastical getaway, keep this marvelous little Great Lakes State home atop your list. You’ll be counting down until your next visit.
