Things To Do
Charlevoix Mushroom Houses
The Mushroom Houses of Charlevoix, Michigan, are a collection of 28 whimsical, storybook-style homes designed by self-taught architect Earl Young starting in the 1920s. Built from local stone, boulders, and cedar shakes, these "hobbit homes" feature wavy rooflines and no straight lines.
Charlevoix South Pier Lighthouse
Walk out along the pier to visit Charlevoix’s famous bright red lighthouse at the entrance to Lake Charlevoix. It’s a beautiful place for sunset views and photos, and you can often watch boats traveling between Lake Michigan and Round Lake
Lake Michigan Beach Park
Located just steps from downtown, this beach has soft sand, clear water, and easy access to the lighthouse pier. It’s a perfect place to relax, swim, or hunt for famous Petoskey stones along the shoreline.
Lavender Hill Farm
Just a short drive from Charlevoix, Lavender Hill Farm is one of the largest lavender farms in the Midwest and a beautiful place to visit while you’re in Northern Michigan. Guests can stroll through rolling fields of fragrant lavender, enjoy peaceful countryside views, and shop for locally made lavender products like oils, soaps, and treats. It’s a relaxing stop for photos, a quiet walk, or a unique Northern Michigan experience.
