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.

"What a perfect place to get away from it all, relax and enjoy time with friends/family. Ours was a reunion of 5 adults (siblings all over 63 yrs old) and we could not have asked for a nicer place and setting. Fall colors were on full display and the days were pleasantly cool. This house was beautifully decorated - with a modern yet welcoming decor. Everything was SO clean...no bugs, no stains, no musty smell. Plenty of fresh towels, blankets/pillows. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was...

"My stay was great. The weather was cold so we did not get to do any outside activities on the lake. The windows looked out at the lake and it was so relaxing. There was plenty of room inside for all 5 of my kids. "

"This cottage was a surprise gem! The pictures on the listing don't do it justice. The pictures show the lake cottage charm well, but we had no idea how many updated, modern features the cottage would have. From power outlets with USB chargers to incredible kitchen appliances, you will find both traditional lake charm and contemporary features. The owners were amazing and incredibly kind and responsive. The only thing that was a little unexpected from the listing was that we didn't realize the...

5/5 Excellent

"Everything was very clean, and the staff was very friendly (although I don't think there were a huge number of staff or customers there, as the hotel is in a bit of a construction zone). There are a lot of stores and restaurants nearby, so it's in a fairly convenient location. There's a kind of coffee bar/cafe in the lobby, and both the coffee, the salad, and the burger my stepfather and I tried were very good. For those of you who are smokers, there was a nice smoking area at the front of the building which was kept very clean--unusual for hotels & motels these days. There was also a very nice patio in back of the property. I would definitely stay there again!"
