Herons Nest: A cozy lake cottage, with a huge patio for large family events, is located on Magician Lake in Sister Lakes, Michigan. The property is located at the mouth of Polk Channel, a mile-long waterway excavated in the 1950's, running from Magician Lake through Viewpoint Beach...surrounded by pines and hardwoods that have been growing for a century or more. The cottage is perfect for a family vacation, or couples trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Fish from the dock and swim and boat on the lake. A sandy swimming and boating area is close by. Air conditioned. Boat rentals, which include kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and pontoon boats, are available for daily or weekly rates.. Enjoy the BB - Q and an evening around the fire pit.
Fall: The property is perfect for an autumn get-a-way. Enjoy a campfire on a cool fall evening, kayak the mile-long Polk Channel, walk through the woods to view the colorful autumn leaves, participate in the many wine-tasting activities sponsored by local wineries, shop the quaint, but bustling Dowagiac, attend a University of Notre Dame home football game in South Bend, IN, carve a jack-o-lantern
provided by Viewpoint Beach management. The cottage is heated; you will be warm and cozy on a cold night after busy, fun fall days in the country. Three-night minimum. Sleeps 9.
We have three cottages next door to each other...Frog Hollow, Turtle Cove and Herons Nest...perfect for a fall group retreat, a reunion or a get-a-way with a group of friends. *Please no high school graduation parties!*

Experience a real American summer and/or autumn in the country
Celebrate your wedding in a natural setting.

    Nice clean place with 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a combined kitchen and living room area. It is on the back channel of the lake with a swimming hole that can be used across the street. I recommend renting a boat from the owner or from a marina to dock out back so you can explore the lake.

    The house was updated and clean. It had all the amenities. The porch needs to be replaced but waking up and enjoying coffee outside was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again.

    We really enjoyed our stay. It was relaxing and it was nice for our teenagers to have their own rooms. The pontoon boat was fun. Lot's of sleeping space if you're traveling with a big group. I know a lake trip is casual, but one recommendations I would have is to add a full length mirror. Thats the girlie in me. I did love the deep bathtub.

    This is our 3rd year here and we enjoy being here. Fishing is great, the house is bug enough for us. The lake is beautiful

    House was a bit more than we expected- Hilda and Heather were easily accessible and went above and beyond. Pictures don’t show the full beauty of the property- on channel but very close to lake entrance- peaceful serene view from back deck- walk around front and get the active lake view.
