Book before you go
Mushroom House Tours by Tour Michigan
Book a tour of Charlevoix's famous mushroom houses with Mushroom House Tours by Tour Michigan! If she is fully booked, you are able to drive by the neighborhoods on your own, but try to get in with her so you don't miss any of the great info!

Book a sunset cruise onto Lake Michigan - it's a can't miss! Book in advance as the boat is often full.
Getting around
Car, Bike, or Walk!
Charlevoix has many bike routes to connect neighboring towns, or simply for sightseeing, if you have your bikes (or rent some downtown!). Downtown is very walkable with plenty of parking. And most things are a short drive away within Charlevoix, but if time allows, venture by car to the rest of the area - Boyne City, Petoskey, Mackinaw City, and more.
