The Earl is a newly redesigned boutique hotel in Charlevoix, Michigan. Our stunning 56 guest rooms bring a modern twist and cosmopolitan vibe to Earl Young’s Weathervane Lodge. More than a hotel, The Earl offers a contemporary hotel and two different bar experiences just one block from Round Lake and minutes from Lake Michigan. New in Summer 2022 is HI Bar, our rooftop bar.

Great boutique hotel. Rooms were very clean and the one bedroom suite was spacious. Good water pressure in shower. It was nice having our bed made each morning and towels and water refreshed. Lobby was cozy and welcoming. Staff was friendly and courteous. Couldn't ask for a better location for exploring Charlevoix. A bit of a drive to get to Boyne Highlands and Nubs tho. And while the included breakfast was pretty typical, everything seemed to taste better than your standard hotel breakfast. Also appreciated that coffee machine had decaf.

The Earl is a beautiful place to stay! The staff there were so kind and helpful. The cozy living room by the fire felt like home with our family staying for my son’s wedding. Rooms were clean and spacious. Highly recommend!
