Turtle Cove at Viewpoint Beach on Magician Lake, Sister Lakes, MI 49047

Quaint lake cottage located on a channel connecting to 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. If in the area, please contact for a tour. Fish off the dock, swim and boat on the lake. Wi-Fi available. Air Conditioned.
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 fall leaves, participate in the many wine-tasting activities sponsored by local wineries, shop in quaint, but bustling, Dowagiac, attend a University of Notre Dame football game in South Bend, IN, carve a jack-lantern from a pumpkin provided by Viewpoint Beach Resort management! The cottage is heated; you will be warm and cozy on a cold night after a busy, fun fall day in the country.
We have three cottages next to each other... Frog Hollow, Turtle Cove and Herons Nest...perfect for a group retreat, a reunion or a get-a-way with a group of friends!
Sleeps 8. Three-night minimum. ** NO High School Graduation parties!**
Experience a real American summer and autumn in the country!

Our family had such a nice time here! Close enough to Dowagiac to be convenient, but out ebough to be perfectly peaceful. The lake and channel were great, the hosts accommodating, and the house we clean and spacious. I would definitely book here again! We had a good time just lpumging outside, fishing off the dock, and taking our little boat out.

The manager was so easy to communicate with, and came out several times when we had questions. Went above and beyond. Loved fishing out on the back deck and the lake was clean and great for swimming.

Always enjoy spending time on Magician Lake. It's beautiful and never over crowded. We always rent the pontoon boat to go on sandbar or fishing. Love to sit by the bonfire at night.

Good location on the channel with boat dock. I liked having the pontoon delivered there for us. Hostess knew we were getting in late and turned the lights on for us which was very welcoming. I woukd stay here again!

House was perfect for our family 4th holiday. The channel was fun to explore with our kayaks. The backyard and deck were wonderful for relaxing. And having access to the lake was a nice bonus. Wonderful and relaxing views. Owners were very responsive. Everything we hoped for and more!

Great location on the channel which the kids enjoyed playing in. Docks were a bit in need of repair. A/C units worked great to cool the house- but very loud at night. Owner very responsive and friendly. Overall a great weekend getaway for the price.

The property is in a nice location. It’s away from the business of the lake and sits in a nice quiet part of the channel. Our only complaint was the musty smell in the cabin. We diffused oils and used candles to cover it up!

Love, Love, Love staying here. It takes me away from the city life and I see Mother's nature at it's best! Thank you Cynthia for sharing your piece of heaven with us! We will be back. Jan K.

This is my family's second time here and we love it every time! Such a unique area and not just a cottage on a lake. The channel is perfect for Kayaks, paddle boards and canoeing! The lake is clean water and makes swimming very enjoyable! The owner Cynthia is so accommodating! Pontoon boat is docked right at the cottage so renting it easily and affordable! The Turtle cove cabin is very spacious and perfect for everyone it's our favorite! We will be back next year.
