Cute lake house on Magician Lake

August 2025

We had never visited Dowagiac, Michigan before, but we were pleased with the friendly community of Magician Lake! The lake house was sweetly decorated, clean and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to enjoy a memorable week! Karen was friendly and quick to respond with any questions we had before the trip. She gave excellent recommendations about the area. This location is especially excellent for anybody who has a boat or any kind of aquatic equipment that they can take in the lake. Kayaks were supplied, but they were sit on top kayaks, which we were not completely familiar with. We so appreciated all that the Lake and the house had to offer! Thank you so much for sharing your property with us! I can definitely see us coming back in the future!
