About this house rental
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.

Great Place. Heather and Hilda were easy and great to work with. We would definitely stay again.

It was a cute place. The no linens & towels was new for most of us, but we made it work. We rented a boat which was nice to have. Hilda was very responsive whenever I messaged her. We locked ourselves out, and she came over right away without making us feel bad.

We had a great stay! The one thing the listing doesn’t boast about is the shower head is super high which is wonderful for tall people! My dad has spent a lifetime huddling under shower heads so it was so nice to have this extra tall shower head! The cottage is clean and peaceful and the dock is great! The furniture is very comfortable and the tv is great for rainy days too! The canal is quiet and nature is abundant, we enjoyed herons, swans, geese, fish, and other birds. The owner is very helpful and responsive to any questions you have along the way! We will be back for more R&R!

We arrived at night so the property was a tad hard to find but the host was super helpful. Cottage was comfortable and location was great! Host went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be back!

This is our second year going here. We loved our weekend getaway. Only issue was we rented a pontoon boat and we did get one but it was smaller then the one we expected. Next year we will make sure the bigger pontoon is what we get.

besides having a difficult time finding the cabin (wrong address) the stay was very nice, supplied with everything needed. Very clean!

Second year in a row and might just make this a yearly stay! House is big enough for the family to spread out and not on the main lake so it’s very peaceful. Rented the pantoon for a day and has a great time on Magician Lake. Fished from the docks the whole week. Host is amazing and very accommodating.

Nice weekend away on the lake. Lake access, bonnfire pit and a place to crash and nice kitchen.

The place was clean. Had an issue with the pontoon boat but the house was decent

Spacious and cute
The house provided ample room and was nicely decorated. It was somewhat difficult to get to, along a long dirt road.
4.8
Easy to get to and great space. Very welcoming. It is near (basically on) the lake so it does have some dampness in the air. Fire pit is awesome and the pontoon was fun to use.

The boys were in heaven fishing on the channel. The cottage was clean and just what we needed. We usually tent camp but with Covid wanted our own bathroom and space. The swim areas were a disappointment.. The docks were broken and unsafe. The area had a major storm a month or more ago and they were working on the trees. Pontoon rental was not ready. We had to take pieces from 3 different ones to get one to work. The kids were worried we were going to breakdown out on the lake. Overall we had great fun. A good nothing fancy cottage rental.

My Family and I had a wonderful time at Heron’s Nest! Communication and check in was a breeze, pontoon rental went smoothly, the place was clean and had everything needed for a short stay in Sisters Lakes!
4.8
Nice place, as described. Believe that the "queen" bed is actually a full/double unfortunately. Sandy, very shallow/gradual swimming area across the street which was nice but a bit mucky. Overall a solid place to stay, we enjoyed our time here and the access to lots of local attractions. Thanks!

Tornado aside we had an amazing time and it was driven by the properties we rented. This is our second year renting from Hilda and team and it was nothing short of amazing. The properties they have are private and still close enough to the lake. Do yourself a favor and rent on the hoses available and add on the pontoon. Nothing better than a trip around the lake. I can’t wait to book again next year.
