About this property

Luxe Magician Lake Family Retreat

  • Ready for your best lake trip yet?

    Pack the sunscreen and the whole crew - Magician Lake is waiting! This 4,000+ sq ft custom waterfront home was built for the kind of trip families talk about for years.

    Think lazy mornings on the dock, splashing kids, and evenings spent making memories together.

    Most families end up coming back every year.

    Lake days are meant to be spent outside, and this waterfront getaway makes it easy to do just that.

    Wake up to stunning sunrises and sweeping lake views right from the private master suite balcony.

    Enjoy the spacious main floor deck with lake views and seating for 8, the perfect spot for open-air breakfasts, lazy afternoons, and evening cocktails.

    Need a little shade? Relax at the covered patio, where you can cool off without missing a single moment of the fun.

    Down at the water's edge, the shallow sandy swim area and sandbox will keep the kids entertained for hours. Grown-ups can kick back and relax in the lakeside sitting area.

    Feeling adventurous? Take the kayaks or paddle boards out for a spin, get a friendly game of cornhole going on the lawn, or grab a fishing rod and head out to the pier. Whatever your speed, there's something here for you.

    When the day winds down and you're ready to relax even further, the hot tub is calling your name.

    As the sun sets, gather around the firepit overlooking the lake for s'mores, stories, and a sky full of stars.

    ---

    As beautiful as it is outside, stepping inside feels just as special. This home was designed from top to bottom to keep those stunning lake views front and center, and it shows on all three levels.

    Step into the main floor and you're immediately struck by amazing panoramic lake views. The open-concept layout is bright, airy, and made for togetherness.

    The gourmet kitchen, including a coffee bar, is fully stocked and ready for everything from big family breakfasts to late-night snacks. Gather around the huge island (seats 5) while you prepare your favorite meal.

    Pull up a seat at the 10-person dining table and take in the wall-to-wall windows with sweeping lake views that make every meal feel like a special occasion.

    The living area is a great place to unwind by the fireplace, read a book, or watch TV.

    Two main floor primary bedrooms, both with king beds and one with a private ensuite, offer plenty of space and comfort.

    ---

    Head upstairs to even more expansive lake views.

    Grab a cup from the second floor coffee bar and take in those spectacular views from the private primary ensuite balcony.

    Kids will absolutely love the custom-built bunk room with its own hangout area.

    There's an additional bedroom with a queen and custom built-in twin bed, perfect for however your crew is configured.

    The first of two laundry areas is up here too, which is a small thing that makes a big difference on a longer stay.

    ---

    The lower level is pure fun. Think of it as your kids' personal hangout headquarters, a recreation and game room loaded with everything you need for a great time indoors - cozy up by the fireplace, challenge someone to ping pong, watch a game on the large screen TV, or crack open a board game.

    The second laundry area down here means you'll never have to fight over the machines.

    ---

    Getting in is a breeze with our easy self-check-in smart lock, so you can drop your bags and get straight to the fun. And if you ever need anything during your stay, we're just a message away.

    Plenty of parking is available for your group.

    ---

    We've thought of everything so you don't have to. This home is fully stocked with all the essentials, grill, firewood, linens, and everything in between. All you need to bring is your food, drinks, and your favorite people.

    This place is a true home away from home, and we just ask that you treat it like one. Out of respect for the property and the neighbors, parties and events are not permitted on the property.

This is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend it enough. I hosted a wellness retreat here for a group of 8, and it delivered beyond every expectation.The kitchen alone is worth writing home about. It was stocked with everything you could possibly need including, but not limited to a blender, mixer, toaster, sharp knives, and a wonderful selection of pots and pans. The glassware for both drinks and dinnerware was a beautiful touch that made every meal feel special. Serving bowls and platters were plentiful, and I was able to cook every meal completely from scratch with plenty of space to do so comfortably and serve it beautifully.The basement level was the perfect space for yoga & meditation sessions, and the main living areas were spacious enough for everyone to move freely. The beds were comfortable, the appliances were high end, and the views were absolutely breathtaking.Inside the home, the water quality was impressive. The water softener is excellent, and the filtered sink water tasted clean and fresh with no off taste whatsoever, which was perfect for a wellness focused weekend.The outdoor space was equally stunning, and we were fortunate enough to have a perfect weather weekend to enjoy it to the fullest.Communication with the host was outstanding from start to finish, and the home was immaculately maintained throughout.If you’re looking for a beautiful, well kept home for a group getaway, look no further. I will absolutely be back.
