Built on a knoll that inspired its design sits a house of stone overlooking Lake Michigan, its architect Earl Young called it home for over 30 years. Earl Young designed and built this mushroom house for his own family and he chose the best spot in Charlevoix to do so! On the peak of town across from Lake Michigan, you feel like you’re at a private retreat on your back deck up two stories high. You can see the sky changing colors from the front windows and hear the lake rolling too. This home is a perfectly situated work of art, a living museum. Single floor layout with two fireplaces and 3 full baths, Earl Young’s glass dining room table, original layout and tile work. A perfect escape! A home unlike any other, magical and inspiring, one of the greatest houses in Michigan if not the country. Across the street from Lake Michigan Beach with the famous red lighthouse where you can walk everywhere!!! Boutiques, restaurants and bars are all only a couple blocks walk. Parks are close by at the beach and library. Completely ideal setting. We offer our guests all that you need during your stay to make it as relaxing and worry-free as possible. Fully equipped kitchen, new linens, beach towels, towels, paper towel, toilet paper, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, Samsung Frame smart television connects you to your Netflix account, Spectrum cable television, Sonos, WiFi, a huge fireplace framed in gorgeous stone makes it feel like a fairy tale. You won’t want to leave the peaceful scene of Lake Michigan right out the large front window! The house is so interesting - it’s a U shape. The twin bedroom is at one end of the U and the other two bedrooms at the opposite end of the house. In fact, to get to the king bedroom one must walk through the side of the queen bedroom which also serves as a hallway. There is a bathroom in between the king and queen rooms. Accordion style doors are throughout the house as Earl designed houses to make absolute best use of the space. All of this adds to the fun of staying at a mushroom house! Since the Mushroom Houses are famous tourist sites, you will have people outside in the road taking pictures of the house. We like the excitement of being a part of Charlevoix history!! A review left from a guest in March perfectly sums up our home: This place is simply UNREAL. I'm extremely OCD/germaphobic, so my definition of clean is a bit unrealistic. But this place was truly SPOTLESS, and absolutely perfect in every detail. The home is stunning, and truly extraordinary...a genuine living piece of art and history. Every inch of the home is pristine, and very well set-up for an easy and relaxed experience. Everything is so thoughtful, the Nespresso, fully stocked with every flavor imaginable and sugar/sweetener, pretty much everything at your fingertips. The king bed is CRAZY comfy, as are the pillows and blankets. Sparkling clean, but lush and soft and just delightful. Really nice towels, sheets...every amenity is high end. The decor is gorgeous - streamlined but rich and elegant and just lovely. The location is unreal. You are truly within a few feet of the water, but protected by a wooded area, so the walk to the beach is minutes. It is quiet and insulated, for a genuinely peaceful experience. You can walk down Park Avenue to several lovely restaurants for carry- out or dine-in, steps from the most charming little downtown area, but distant enough that it's downright bucolic. The highlights of the home are the beautiful fireplace and the outdoor deck area. The fireplace puts off so much warmth, the room is enormous, but so well laid out, it manages to be open and expansive but also cozy. On our one rainy day we just had a movie marathon in that lovely, restful, snug room...precious family time. The back porch is just charming, with a very unique design, cozy and private but picturesque...simply gorgeous. The value is extraordinary, this home is spacious and comfortable and just so special. It feels like the quality of the original 50s materials, but somehow with no wear and tear. It's quality + clean + artistry = magic. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Casino nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33980000/33979700/33979619/642a9bb4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Inhabit A Hobbit House!

The mid-Century modern appointments are beautiful and the location is excellent -- close to town and steps away from the Lake Michigan beach and pier. But the bedroom configuration is extremely odd and won't work for many groups. We had two couples and one stayed in the bedroom with the twin beds to achieve privacy.

For the 3 couples, the layout was okay but not great. To access one bedroom, we had to go through another bedroom. The kitchen was a true galley kitchen and was somewhat claustrophobic.

The hosts are very responsive and the property is lovely. This is an original Earl Young property and served as his own home for many decades as such the house is very interesting. The house was clean and well maintained so we had a very comfortable stay. The location is lovely with easy (walkable) access the downtown Charlevoix and the beach is literally across the street. We found it a little challenging to have to walk through our grown daughter's bedroom to access the master bedroom, but that was not a deal breaker. The fact that it was summer and we could spend most of our home time on the fabulous back deck was a true plus. We are bikers and enjoyed taking the Little Traverse Wheelway to Petoskey. ##### Jennifer M.

We enjoyed our stay and the uniqueness of the mushroom house. Beautiful lake view! Quiet lovely street. Many “ mushroom tour” buses went by daily and were interested in our house…kind of fun at first but became a little annoying. We felt we couldn’t go outside without someone looking at us. Also only the master bedroom was air conditioned. We had two couples so one stayed in master and the other in the bedroom on the other end of the house. It wasn’t air conditioned…our week of stay the temperatures were in the upper 80s. They had many fans running when we got there but unfortunately we never could really get the house temp on one side below 78. Very warm and humid inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the mushroom house…couldn’t beat the lovely historic street and beautiful view of Lake Michigan. ##### Lori W.
