The History
The Store
The original house/store was moved onto the property by way of horse drawn sled over the ice from Harbor Springs in 1907. It was purchased by the Staley Family in 1922 and operated continuously until 1983. We bought it a hundred years later in 2022! We tried to keep it a store and the City said no way. We tried to keep the original home and the engineer said no way. So we found a way to honor the history and use of the structure.
We weren't aware at the time that the owner of the store and my mother graduated together in 1945! We’ve heard so many wonderful memories of the store from family and locals. We are proud to pay homage to the history of Charlevoix, The Staley Store and live in the town that my grandfather graduated high school from in 1922, the same year the Staley Family bought the store. It makes it even sweeter that our mothers were friends and were still lunching together until a year or so before they passed away. It ties together so nicely. We finished completion of The Store House Charlevoix in June of 2024.
We have a very large family and our son got married at Castle Farms. We believe we are well versed in housing and hosting families, friends and activities of all kinds and sizes.
