House is 40 feet from the lakefront (no stairs) with 160 foot pier for docking your boat on 550 acre all sport Magician Lake. 2 wave runner lifts and one boat hoist (rated up to 3000 lbs.) is available for your speedboat. Sandy area for children to play, lake is shallow in swimming area, and usually very warm.
House sleeps 18-20+, up to 16 can easily sit at large farm table for family dinners and games.

We are pet friendly (I don't go anywhere without my dog) and do not require a pet deposit. However if your at does damage or soils carpet or furniture, cleaning or repairs may be deducted from your security deposit. Lake is great for dogs who like to swim.

This is a very family friendly location, ideal for reunions and special occasions. The house is professionally cleaned between each guest and we make updates and repairs on a regular basis.

Cancellation Policy: If you make a reservation and must cancel, I will refund 100% of your money providing I can re-rent the dates you had reserved. I am usually 100% booked in the summer, mostly with returning guests, and have a waiting list at times, so typically with enough notice, it is not a problem. I am sorry, I cannot refund last minute cancellations unless I can find another renter.

Fabulous location and spot on the lake

Plenty of beds for our family of 8 to spread out for the few nights that my 5 kids would be there. Great neighbors. We ate all meals outside on picnic tables and kept drinks outside since it was lovely area and also to avoid a mess inside the house. Didnt love the sand area by beach only because it drags alot of sand inside and I found myself vacuuming and mopping each day. But small kids would love this area. Home could use some updates and painting but overall it is very cozy and functional. I would definitely be aware of check out times and making sure you remove linens and put clean linens back on beds. I really don't think the pictures online do it justice. The home is much nicer than the pics. We loved the screen in porch since it kept all of the bugs outside. And it allowed us to play some fun games and enough room to hold 10 people around the table comfortably. Also the beach in the water is a nice hard sand. Many areas on this lake are muddy in the water and hard to walk inside the water. This area of lake has excellent quality of sand and you can easily walk out to end of pier. Great spot on the lake.

Beautiful property; impeccable host

We made lasting family memories at this property on Magician Lake. The house is beautiful with ample room, but also comfortable. The teens essentially had their own apartment upstairs with bathroom and kitchenette...Jeanne is a thoughtful and responsive host. Highly recommend!

Amazing

This property is AMAZING and the owner is beyond AMAZING! Pictures do not do this house justice. It is absolutely beautiful and HUGE! I chose this location because it was close to the venue my son was getting married at. This house was perfect for the rehearsal dinner and the bride wanted pics and to get ready for her big day with us versus the house she rented. House is located in a cute, quiet and safe neighborhood. This house is perfect for young children to older adults. You can block off areas to keep the little ones contained and everything you would need is on the main floor for older people. The walkout to the lake is a flat surface and the dock is sturdy and huge. Beds are comfy and the linens are perfect. Washer and dryer worked perfect! Kitchen is beautiful and has everything you might need or don't think of. The bathrooms were amazing and clean with plenty of towels. Plenty of hot water! Screened in porch was our favorite. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning with a fire and the beautiful lake view at night by the fire. There is nothing negative about this house! It is perfect.

Great getaway

I decided last minute to plan a trip. I wanted a lakefront property, no stairs with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms and dog friendly. This property was everything I wanted. The owner was very helpful and great to work with. Definitely want to come back to this property.

Weekend on the Lake

We found this gem of a property as several family members needed a place to stay for a nearby wedding. The location is wonderful and, as one other reviewer stated, the pictures do not do the house justice. It is more spacious than we expected and all of the bedrooms were very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!

Family Reunion on Magician Lake

We had great weather for our annual family reunion near Dowagiac, Michigan. The house is perfect with everything you need for family fun - plenty of beds, well equipped kitchen with a huge table for eating, rooms for privacy if needed, huge yard, small beach area, shallow water for the little ones to play, a dock with a lift for our small boat, plenty of shade and a beautiful view of the lake for sunsets. Dowagiac is close by for trips to the grocery store and a great history museum if you have a rainy day. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood for long walks too. The WiFi connection worked well also. The week went by too fast but we all left with warm memories. We will be back next year.

Large Family Vacation

The pictures don’t do it justice! We rented this house for our large family vacation and it was great! There was plenty of space for everyone to stay and the kitchen/living room area was perfect for whole family gatherings. Plus the “apartment” as our big kids called it, over the garage was a great space to put all the big kids where they could hangout together. They had everything they needed up there, so it was a good escape for them. And the yard was amazing. It was right on the water, had plenty of tree coverage and the small sand area was fun for the kids. The water was shallow enough that the little kids could easily play in it but we’re still able to jump in at the end of the pier. Also the owner was great! She answered all our questions and responded to any problems we had right away. We will definitely be staying here again!

Wonderful space for families

We had a great time at this beautiful, large house. We stayed here for a winter getaway with family. Plenty of space to spread out with the eight of us (4 adults and 4 younger children). The bunk bed room was essentially an apartment with a couch, huge tv, kitchen area and bathroom with a shower. Really nice for having separate area with our larger group. Look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy the outside!
