Our Story

A home built on warmth, not just hospitality

MagicHouse Bed and Breakfast sits on a quiet stretch of East Oakland Avenue, where the kind of stillness that city life rarely offers becomes your everyday backdrop.

We opened our doors with a simple belief: that a great stay shouldn't feel transactional. Here, you're not a booking confirmation — you're a guest who deserves to feel welcomed, rested, and genuinely cared for during their time with us.

Every detail, from the linens on the bed to the coffee waiting in the morning, is chosen with the same intention: to make this place feel less like a hotel and more like a home you're glad to return to.
