This special 70 acre property was donated in 1960 to Washington University. They built cabins, and A-frame, a lodge and a 3 acre lake. It was utilized as an educational retreat space for over 20 years when they sold it to a rehab center in 1981. Because the Magic Land has such healing energy is was ideal for a retreat space. I purchased the land in 2007 after a vision of creating a Sacred Sanctuary and Healing Retreat in Mother Nature. We have 10 buildings to rehab and much to do from a human perspective and the Magic Land is already perfect.

Such a peaceful and relaxing visit!
We had such a beautiful time! Laura Lynn was so accommodating, even taking time to talk with me out mindful living. The goats are the sweetest, and we had such fun with the dogs! The chickens, turkeys, and ducks were always polite visitors. We will definitely be returning!

A-Frame Funky Cabin in the Woods
We stayed here recently, at the end of a nature escape trip. Being a longer trip, we decided to go the cozy route and booked the A-frame. Laura was a fantastic host, providing all of the comforts of home. After weeks in a tent, having access to seats, a refrigerator, filtered water, toaster ovens/microwave/grill felt like a 5 star hotel to me. The property is huge! I was given a tour, and got a better idea of whats going on. A creek runs through the whole property (due to rain, it was a river while we were there), the forest and grasses were lush, there was even a natural spring on site. I didn't stay at the campsite, but did check it out. Laura Lynne set up a curtain for bathroom privacy, provided hand sanitizer, chairs, and a hammock. On top of that, the ground was relatively flat. Also on site is a "tree house". I say that in quotes because I picture a tree house being the few boards we'd throw up in trees as a kid - not the full on 2 story home they lovingly built in the trees. Definitely future home goals. Besides staying for the retreat, I'd recommend The Magic Land to anyone who's new to camping, or looking to get outdoors one toe at a time.
