Mushroom House, Earl Young’s Personal Residence overlooking Lake MI! New AC!

What a wonderful home to be able to be able to spend a week in. Breathtaking views right from the front door looking out to Lake Michigan. We loved watching the sun set each night. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a very enjoyable stay and hope to come back again. The host provided everything needed for a pleasant stay including our morning cup of coffee. The home provides calm views of the lake from the front, a lovely patio in the back, two cozy fireplaces, and an overall relaxing experience. The layout of the house and numerous windows make it bright and cheery, and the stone walls block the sound from the surrounding streets. Definitely a five star experience.

Enjoyed our stay. Location was great.

The house has so many unique characteristics, it was a fun stay! The fireplace was lovely, we had relaxing evenings in, enjoying the beauty of inside and outside. Seeing the lighthouse from the living room is cool. There were gorgeous sunsets while we were there. We ate out so didn't need to use the kitchen much. Highly recommend Weathervane for dinner and Blondies Coffee!

Unique property right near the lake. Easy walk to downtown. Fun layout and great outdoor space.

Wonderful

Earl Young's houses are a big reason people come to Charlevoix and the best way to see one is to stay in one. As a place to stay, the house was beautifully appointed, comfortable, clean and convenient. I spent a lot of time ensconced on the sofa with the fire roaring in the fireplace reading a book about Earl Young, who's house I was sitting in. One of his goals was to make his houses cozy and homey...from day 1. This house welcomed us in and covinced us that an afternoon spent by the fire or looking out at Lake Michigan was an afternoon well spent. The interior design is amazing and something you can't see at the other mushroom houses, all privately owned and closed to the public. Built-in storage, heated floors, two working fireplaces, views to die for, amazing design details. Its an easy to walk downtown to shops (Dockside Books!!!) and resturants (That French Place lives up to its 5 star reviews). We also enjoyed an easy run along the lake through Boulder Park (Young's big development). Everyone we met in town was very friendly and welcoming; appropriate for a place that has been a tourist haven since the the 1800s. Final Note: Charlevoix had a suprise storm that dropped 2 feet of snow three days before we arrived. Our VRBO had the sidewalk completely cleared with shovel and a bucket of salt, should we need it. THANK YOU. GREAT STAY.

Beautiful house!

The kitchen was well equipped. Only issue was an odor in the Queen bedroom located between two bathrooms. Location was perfect and the house was very unique.

Amazing place to stay and great communication.

Beautiful home. Great views! The house & amenities were wonderful. Definitely would stay again! Thank you!

We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was as advertised.

So lovely to stay in a historical home.. perfect location to downtown Charlevoix

The house was exceptional. The location was perfect & overlooked Lake Michigan. The town was very close by and charming. The host paid special attention to details in the house & was equipped with everything we needed. All we had to do was bring our clothes. We will definitely be back.

Very unique house. Might not be suitable for tall people as the ceilings in some rooms are low. The kitchen is small but very serviceable. Living room is beautiful and the tv and internet worked great. The best part of the house is the deck which soars nearly three stories above the street below. We spent a great deal of time on the deck for meals and lounging. Convenient walking distance to town.

Should be coffee creamer and decaf coffee in the kitchen. #2 bathroom sink is 90 percent blocked, and faucet is dripping. Lock box is hard to open. Manny good features.

Great stay

Beautiful property. Our host was great, had an issue which was addressed immediately.

A very historic and beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed it.
