This is our third week long stay and Betide is still charming us. Great location within walking distance to beach, restaurants and shopping. The neighborhood is quiet and the kitchen well equipped. The master bedroom is roomy with a comfortable king bed. We can catch glimpses of Lake Michigan through the trees from the shaded front yard. Love this quirky little mushroom house.
Perfect place for our group of 3. Spotlessly clean and super charming. Small but super comfortable with plenty of room to sleep, laze about, eat, and cook. The location is fantastic and if you are a fan of Earl Young architecture, this is a great example, nestled between other Earl Young gems. I really can't say enough about this place. It's amazing! I really hope we can stay here again sometime.
We had a relaxing week in this special Mushroom House. It's well equipped and just right for 2 adults. You can walk down to the beach and into town easily. It's a great location and a quiet neighborhood.
Very homey, charming and cozy! Comfortable sleeping. Enjoyed the closeness of Lake Michigan. Restaurants were close by. Loved the accessable kitchen with the provided amenities. Had a few items that needed to be addressed and the owner was amazing, response and quick fixes. Thank you so much!
Cute little place and inside clean but we were welcomed by 2 dirty broken chairs outside which we fixed and cleaned. Not a great welcome BUT the setting is awesome:2 minute walk to beach and 20 minute walk to downtown,
We had long wanted to stay in one of the Mushroom Houses. Our stay was perfect. Excellent experience staying the home with all the creativity and history.
The location overlooking Lake Michigan was great. Only a few blocks from Downtown Charlevoix. A quick walk for an excellent breakfast each morning and some shopping. Fall Colors were great. Enjoyed the Tunnel of Trees.
This is our second stay at Betide mushroom house. Easy walk to beach, shops and restaurants. Fully equipped kitchen for the days we stayed in. Perfect for the 2 of us. We plan to return!
We truly enjoyed staying in this historical home. The location was perfect, the gas fireplace was wonderful, and the Pez collection was amazing.
The home has everything you need and was very comfortable. The home shows better in person than the Vrbo photographs!!
We contacted the host to figure out how to get the gas fireplace started (it was an unusually cold week) and she responded immediately and made arrangements for her handyman to get it going. Super service!!
We will definitely stay here again!
Lovely cottage with a bit of interesting history. Perfectly situated within walking distance of most everything. Quiet at night for restful sleep. Kitchen equipped too!
Listing is completely accurate. House is small and older, but spotless, updated and wonderful! Lake Michigan views from the porch. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, even a grocery store. Absolutely perfect for a couple. Might be a bit crowded with kids. Excellent value. Would definitely stay again.
My husband and I stayed at âBetideâ during 4th of July week. It was a pleasure to stay in this historic Earl Young house. We found Betide to be comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully equipped. We cooked most of our meals in the well equipped kitchen, I will miss the Viking stove when I go home. The Master king size bed is very comfortable. We appreciated the beach chairs that were available, we forgot ours at home. The owner Debbie, was just awesome, super responsive to requests, knowledgeable about the area, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Betide is an easy walk away (less than 10 minutes) from the Michigan Beach Park, Bridge Street shopping and dining, Earl Young Historic District, East Park, and much more. Yet far enough away from Bridge Street to provide a peaceful retreat to enjoy the Lake Michigan view and sunset.
The house is perfect for two with the option of hosting a couple guests for dinner and games at the dining table. We appreciated the use of one of the bikes on site for easy rides around town and out to the Boulders. From Betide it was a pleasant walk to the beach for evening sunsets and daytime picnics. We walked into town for meals, but also took advantage of the local fishery, farmers' market, and grocery store. Excellent!
We are so grateful that we were able to spend time in the 'Betide' mushroom house. The interior is just beautiful with the original wood floors, ceiling and stone fireplace and the recent updates to the kitchen and bath. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals. It is located just a few blocks from downtown Charlevoix and across the street from Lake Michigan. Thank you Debra for sharing your home and a piece of history with others.
This is a lovely Earl Young Mushroom House, probably best suited for two people. High- end appliances and wired for today's technology (which I'm actually not). The location could not be better-easy access to Lake Michigan shore and downtown Charlevoix.
We loved our stay at this house. It worked really well for the two of us. Great location. Everything we needed was supplied. Easy checking and out.
One suggestion would be to declutter the door of the refrig and one shelf in the kitchen cabinet to allow for visitors food items. Otherwise everything was wonderful and we hope to return in the future. Thanks!
This wasourI first time staying at Betide cottage and it was wonderful. The house is a piece of history, as an Earl Young cottage, but it is also comfortable with everything you need. It's proximity to downtown makes shopping and dining a quick walk away and it is so close to the beach, you can hear the waves. I look forward to another visit in this "mushroom" house soon.
Our family has been coming to Charlevoix for the past 40 years as campers and for the last 35 as home owners. We vacation year round and have enjoyed discovering all of the wonderful sites in Northern Michigan.
1 block from Lake Michigan Beach. 3 blocks from town. Park the car and forget it while on vacation. Watch the sunsets from the adrirondack chairs on the porch.
