Charlevoix, Michigan
The Thatch House rose from the original stone walls set by Earl Young. Originally built as his first home in 1918, the original house did not encompass Young's developing unique hobbit-home style, but today, in a dramatic re-imagining, The Charlevoix Thatch House exemplifies the storybook magic of the Earl Young mushroom homes. The new fairy tale design, conceived on a napkin by the new owner, took nearly 2 years to complete.
Specialized timber work, beautifully erected with every beam layer, is unique and bold. The beautiful flowing roof is crafted from the finest natural thatch hand-reaped in Europe and shipped to the USA. During one of our coldest winters, a master thatcher painstakingly worked under daunting conditions. A surprised observer said, "Wow, that home looks like a giant mushroom!” If you would like more details about The Thatch House and the other Mushroom Houses in our portfolio, please visit mushroomhouses.com.

Unique beautiful home! Great location! We loved our stay and can't wait to book again. Thank you!!
A truly unique and amazing home; so much thought has gone into not only the design (OMG those fireplaces and doors), but all the rental details...there wasn't a cooking tool we needed that wasn't provided. The beds are super comfortable, and we all slept really well. There were enough beds/baths that no one had to share, so that was a bonus. This was truly one of our best home rental experiences; we look forward to returning to the Thatch House. Camille & Friends
The Thatch House can only be described as unique. Well worth the money for a stay you won’t experience anywhere else. One caveat though. Be ready to experience some restless nights. The owners opted for some type of foam beds and they are extremely hot to sleep on. All 8 of us experienced sticking to the sheets when we tried changing positions at nights and never got some really good sleeps. They also sleep very hard and are not welcoming/comfy. That aside, this is a terrific property to experience and the management team are terrific.
This is such a great location and unique home. Highly recommend, and the hosts were great and communicative.
Our stay could not have been better....I am thrilled! We spent 7 days at the Thatch house...so comfortable, clean and the perfect location!
We loved our stay. The uniqueness of the house was a lot of fun. We enjoyed seeing all the people coming by to see the house. The views of the lake out the front were amazing as well. Great place!
Our short stay was excellent.
It was great experience The property manager was very nice everybody made it very easy to book from the time of check-in checkout we were very happy and pleased with them definitely will be back
Beautiful house located just a short walk from a lovely beach. Spacious home nicely done in every way. Plenty of places to sit and relax as well as a media room for movie night. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms luxurious. Everything was perfect. Should note that the home appearance is so unique tourist walk or drive by to take pictures. Didn’t bother us at all but might annoy others.
Beautiful, enchanting home. Great location. Beautiful beach practically right across the street and just a short walking distance to town with lots of shopping and restaurants. We will be coming back!
