This is a cool little town...
As the former home and burial site of the famous magician, Harry Blackstone, Sr. (The Great Blackstone), Colon refers to itself as "The Magic Capital of the World." It is the home of the Abbott Magic Company, founded by magicians Percy Abbott, an Australian and friend of Blackstone's, and Recil Bordner, originally from Eaton, Ohio, in 1934. The company has a local store, showroom and a factory where magicians' supplies and new tricks are manufactured. Abbott Magic is well-known among professional stage acts, with customers around the world. Two other younger magic suppliers also call Colon their home, FAB Magic and the Sterlini Magic Manufacturing Company. Each August more than 1,000 magicians and lovers of magic gather there for "Abbott's Magic Get-Together", a 4 day magic convention, doubling the population, sharing magic tricks, and recollecting their knowledge of the famous occupation. The convention concludes each day with an evening show at Colon High School.
Colon is a village in St. Joseph County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,227 at the 2000 census. The village is located within Colon Township. The village is named after the shape of Palmer Lake, and is not the only place in Michigan so named. Colon also has a small Amish community.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), of which, 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2) of it (18.71%) is water. The town is flanked by Long Lake and Palmer Lake, which are connected by a narrow channel.

#Indoor Pool, #Lakefront, #Indoor #Pickleball, Sleeps 30

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for a fun place to spend Christmas with our family of 14, which includes 8 grandkids that range in ages from 9 months to 15 years old, and thankfully we found this amazing property. It is beautifully designed and we especially enjoyed the Christmas Trees and other holiday decorations! In addition, there are enough bedrooms that everyone had their own comfortable space and the community spaces are large enough to comfortably seat our family. This includes two living rooms on the first floor, the nicely equipped kitchen, dining room, the downstairs entertainment area, the indoor pickle ball area and the amazing indoor swimming pool! We also enjoyed the walking trail that circles this beautiful property! Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Nick who made the renting process pleasant and easy!"
