About this property

Frog Hollow at Viewpoint Beach on Magician Lake, Sister Lakes, MI 49047

  • Beautiful New England style salt box cottage 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. A great week-end get-a-way for a large group...sleeps 12. Pitch your tent! Fish off the dock. Swim and boat at our lakefront lot nearby. Rent a boat on-sight and dock it at your cottage. Fire pit and BB-Q.
    Air Conditioned.
    Two-night minimum. **No High School Graduation Parties!**
    Experience a real American summer!

Was a very relaxing get together for a couple friend's birthday celebration. Beautiful relaxing scenery, peaceful with geese with babies hanging out and a beautiful huge white swan that visited regularly. The house itself was nothing fancy but had everything we needed and comfortable beds. Can't wait to go back

Family time

Great location, able to host an event but house needs deep cleaning. Had no sheets on the beds and yard was littered with geese poo. Rented pontoon and kayaks: hand trouble starting the pontoon but Heather was very helpful, pontoon was dirty when we got it.

Nice spot for a guys' weekend

We had a pleasant stay. Enough beds for everyone, and we enjoyed grilling and eating at the picnic table. The bathroom is downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs, which was a little inconvenient.

Lake getaway

We had a great experience! The pictures are exactly accurate of where you’ll be staying. Cabin was not fancy but clean and had everything that we needed and lots of areas for sleeping! Air-conditioning worked great. We loved our little spot on the Canal and we were very close to magicians lake. We brought our boat and had a wonderful vacation. Thank you for making it such a comfortable stay.

Scenic, relaxing, cool, comfy, fully equipped, friendly!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed boating, swimming on the lake and then back to the very private property for s'mores at the campfire. Overlooked the channel (more like private river). Our 4 and 6 year old had a wonderful time looking for frogs and catching lots of small fish perfect for learning...and a 3 lbs bass to hook them for life. Wifi and Ac were excellent for when they were fried. All beds were comfy and even cold...but nice thing about AC is you can turn it down. We came over packed not knowing what to expect...everything was provided and in great shape. Just need food and drink...really. they even have ice cubes made. Thanks for the great time. Next time we would pack less and rent boat all days as the lake is awesome.
