Summary: We loved staying in an iconic mushroom house (smallest one I think) and the house is surprisingly spacious. The design of the “Half House” is well-organized inside, you just feel like an oversized person in a hobbit house in the most adorable way (yes, ceiling height was great!). The fireplace was our favorite feature. Our host was kind and gracious, all amenities were supplied and we just loved it here.

Summary: While not luxe, the Half House provided the whimsy and fun experience I was looking for when planning a trip for my two sisters. Half House has a lovely view of the water and it IS the view for passers by. It came with everything we needed for our two night stay! Thank you for a memorable experience!

Summary: The “Half House” is such a wonderful little place to rest, recharge, and fuel your soul! It has an immaculate view of Lake Michigan and the South Pier lighthouse. It is very well-kept and clean. There is so much history to learn about the houses, the town, and the region, in general. The check-in and out processes are incredibly easy and user-friendly. There is plenty of parking right near the property even without private parking spots. Overall, I could not recommend this rental enough! It was picture-perfect, even without picture-perfect weather. Just staying in and reading/playing board games was a magical experience.

Summary: Such a fun place to stay for a quick mother/daughter trip to northern Michigan! My adult day vibed with the mushroom/gnome/cottage feel and I like the comfy bed and amazing location. The house is right across the road from the lake and its sweet little lighthouse. We walked along the shore and the footpath on higher ground. It was also pretty close to town for shopping and restaurants. The communication was excellent - and questions answered right away. Would recommend this place as a total experience getaway!
