This was a perfect and wonderful lake house for our family. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. There are plenty of comfortable beds for everyone. We spent lots of time on the amazing outdoor patio. The kids even spent a day playing sports on the green space that was available at the top of the driveway. The owner, Jim, was easy to communicate with and readily available if we needed anything. We rented a pontoon boat from Sunset Pontoon Rentals which made our vacation even more enjoyable! We would highly recommend this house!

Great house for great fun on the water.

The pictures don't do this place justice. Tons of room to sleep, hang and get away. Lots of fun water toys (lily pad and float), bar, indoor/outdoor sound system and every amenity you could think of. Jim was a great host and we are looking forward to making this an annual stay!

I can't even begin to express how incredible this stay was! It has the best host, Jim who is a wonderful person. The home was even better than you can imagine. Our group was from 10 months old to..50's and everyone loved every minute. Jim and his home are more welcoming than any place I ever stayed. We all felt part of this place and miss it already. Thank you Jim for our fantastic family vacation

Really nice home and lake. Property was clean and well maintained. Lake was beautiful. Kids and grandkids all had a good time. We didn't have the best weather but that's always a risk you take. We would definitely go again. Jim, the host, made sure we had everything we needed and was readily available to call if we needed anything. We rented a boat from Sunset Pontoon Rentals and the grandkids tubed every day the weather allowed. We will definitely return.

Great Space, Great Time.

This house was great for us and our group. We had 3 couples and 8 children and the house comfortably slept everyone. The main living space was great and the outdoor patio allowed adults to relax while the kids played in the water. Jim and Michelle were responsive and accommodating. Magician Lake was a fun vacation spot and we will certainly be back.

Fantastic location for a great price!

This place was great! Spacious house, AC blasting, right on the water, and the outdoor/deck area was fantastic to hang around. The house definitely looks better in-person than it does from the photos! The place comfortably sleeps 12, and even more if you're willing to sleep on something smaller/get cozy. We used the grill several times, rented a boat for Saturday to cruise the lake, and even went up to BT's bar and grill down the road (5m walk!). This was our first experience with Homeaway, and I was a little worried as this property didn't have any visible reviews on the site, but we were pleasantly surprised! Michelle was great and very hands-off, but made herself available in case we needed anything. All of the information was very clearly laid out and we didn't have any confusion about anything regarding the rental. Thanks again for making this bachelor party one to remember!

Amazing space for large group / host is awesome!

The house was amazing, right on water, and plenty of sleeping. We had a large group and the living space was great for everyone to hang out and play games in the evening. The patio was perfect during the day for lounging, playing bags, and eating outside. The host was super friendly (we regret not taking him up on his offer for a boat ride) and made everything very easy during check-in and check-out. Everyone already said they want to come back next year!

Great house right on the water! We had a girls weekend and everyone enjoyed staying here! There was a lot of space to spread out in the house and outside. The open porch is perfect.
