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!

The Polk family has owned this piece of paradise since 1910. Grandfather Polk began Viewpoint Beach Resort in 1911 with the construction of "Cottage # 1," still in use. Following generations have maintained and improved the properties over the years; Magician Lake is a large, pristine lake with a full range of watersports and activities.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a secluded area with a large yard for recreation and get-togethers. Plenty of parking.

What makes this property unique

Unique benefits of this property, and the two nearby rentals (Turtle Cove and Herons Nest) offer a quiet get-away where one can rest or entertain guests in a secluded space. The yard is large with an extended boat dock on Polk Channel. The channel provides access to Magician Lake at both ends of the mile-long waterway, which is scenic, serene, surrounded by forest and is accessible by boats of all kinds.
Parking on the grounds is ample. Growing up on this beautiful, untouched piece of Nature was an unforgettable experience. Visitors can ride bikes, walk in the woods, swim, float on the lake with a cooling beverage and listen to the night creatures "sing" at night.
