About this property

Gorgeous Luxury Lake House with Fantastic Views and Amenities

Reservations just opened for 2025 in late March. Act fast, as the best weeks go quickly! July is already half reserved.

You will not find a better house for your family vacation. The views of the lake are spectacular. There are wonderful interior spaces for you to relax in and enjoy, nicely decorated and full of artistic charm. And your children will have non-stop entertainment, from climbing to and enjoying the lofts, swimming, running on the water carpet to jumping off the raft. Long lasting memories of doing fun things together are what keep families connected. Make those memories at this unique and special place.

This large recently constructed luxury house is on sought-after Magician Lake, an all-sports lake in Southwest Michigan only 2 hours from Chicago. Huge amounts of glass throughout the many interior spaces result in you being constantly bathed in all of the wonderful views surrounding you. Located on one of the busiest and most entertaining spots on Magician Lake, and close to many great restaurants and attractions, including 3 nearby (within a 15 minute drive) wineries.

The house and lot have many great areas where you can relax and enjoy your stay with everyone, as well as a few to escape away and have a little "me time" if you need it. For sleeping, there are very comfortable sleeping arrangements for 14 located in 6 separate sleeping areas on the 2nd floor and associated lofts with absolutely no annoying bunk beds. All bedrooms have attached bath and each and every one has lake views. The Master Bedroom suite has a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower with body sprays and incredible views to boot. On the main floor there's a huge Great Room with fully stocked gourmet kitchen, separate beverage refrigerator (new for 2025), and indoor dinner seating for 12. The 350 square foot main level deck with outdoor kitchen right off the Great Room expands the main living space even more, and not only has a natural gas grill but also 2 side burners.

The outdoor spaces have what only can be described as glorious views of the lake and there are 5 levels of them. The 2 balconies on the second floor off the bedrooms with sweeping views of the cove to the west are the highest level. The 350 square foot upper deck connected to the main living area with outdoor kitchen described above also has outdoor dinner seating for 6. The next level sports a 2 person hammock area under a shade tree to lazily view the constant action on the lake. A little farther down the stairs is a 700 square foot lower deck elevated a few feet above lake level with an outdoor couch, loveseat and a couple of chairs and has a huge cantilever umbrella for shade if you need it. Finally, there's the lake level with over 60 feet of frontage containing a grassy area with firepit as well as a pier with large platform and a couple of Adirondack chairs to relax on. A large raft on the lake just 75 feet from the end of the pier completes the many separate outdoor areas that you and your family can use for a perfect, fun-filled vacation on the water. Also included are 4 lounge chairs and 4 lightweight wicker style chairs for use anywhere on the multi-level outdoor spaces.

For your sporting pleasure there's a 4 person pedal boat on a convenient lift for your use, and 2 sit-on kayaks to explore the 2 protected coves on either side of the house, one of which is an angler kayak for fishing. In addition, guests have use of a high-quality O'Brien water carpet; a 6 X 18 foam float that kids absolutely love and will likely use non-stop.

Finally, the pier has an open slip for a pontoon or boat you can bring to the lake or rent from a local vendor (separate docking agreement with a small set-up fee for a boat - pontoons require no setup fee - and refundable security deposit required). Enjoy the sandbar on Hemlock Island, cruise the lake at sunset, and, on the 4th of July, watch the lake association's fireworks display shot from a barge on the middle of the lake.

I offer an 7% discount for stays of 7 days or more except for July and the first week of August. July and the first week of August also have 7 night minimum stays. Most of the rest of the summer have 4 or 5 night minimums and there are 10% discounts on 7 night stays for late spring and late summer.

I've been coming to Magician lake every summer since I was a young child. The wonderful spaces that I've created for me and my family's relaxation and pleasure can be yours for a few priceless days, too. Just as my family and I have created precious memories here, we hope you and your family will, too.

Delightful home on a delightful lake

The house had all of the living spaces you want for a lake house. It had an open kitchen and family room with great views of the lake. It had a back porch overlooking the lake. It had a lower sitting area and a boat dock for easy access to the lake.

Great property. Great host. Absolutely would recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The home had beautiful views of the lake with plenty of room for my husband, parents and I to stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we loved the chance to enjoy the outdoor tables. The host, Scott, was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and went out of his way to make sure we had a great stay. He provided great recommendations for places around the area and helped us in looking for a pontoon boat for renting that weekend. We would definitely stay here again! Here are some specific things I loved about the home: The spacious living room was perfect for relaxing after a long day. The bedrooms were all comfortable and had plenty of space. The backyard was a great place to watch the boats go by and have a glass of wine. I also really appreciated the host's service: Scott was always quick to respond to our messages. Scott gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities. He even made us a welcome basket! My husband left his shorts there and Scott went out of his way to send them back. For those looking for a place to stay, would highly recommend!

Lakeside relaxation.

My wife and I have two daughters. They each have two children with their husbands. We all had an excellent experience at our VRBO house. The property was accurately depicted and it was a beautiful house. The kids were able to get to the lake with ease and even the young ones want to go back next year. It was very relaxing and everyone enjoyed it very much.
