About this property

Peaceful Lake-Front Family Home - Fenced Yard

Located directly on Diamond Lake, this 3BR/2BA home has a fenced yard, 70' pier, and beds for 9. Located on the west side of the lake with a bluff behind it leaves the water calm even on a windy day.
Diamond Lake is the largest inland lake in SW Michigan (it has a car ferry over to a residential island). Diamond Lake is the ideal water ski, fishing, or boating lake, with plenty of shoreline for interesting sightseeing by boat. And because it is so large, it rarely seems crowded with boats, even on summer weekends.

This 3BR/2Bath(showers only) home is 2 hours from Chicago, 30 minutes from South Bend, and 1 hour from Kalamazoo. MBR has a new King Pillowtop, second BR has 2 twins, third BR has a new Queen pillow top and a day bed with trundle, plus a queen Sleeper sofa in the Great Room. Great Room has 14' redwood plank cathedral ceiling; fireplace at one end, kitchen at the other. Hardwood flooring throughout. Sunporch (with new sofa and Loveseat) faces the lake, with wrap-around deck beyond that. New Split/Mini ac/heat system.

There is a patio and 'beach sandbox' (for sunbathing/Bon Fires) out by the lake. Room for volleyball between the house and lake. Sandy bottom out chest deep; docking for 3 boats. Home is NOT wheel chair accessible. Turn-key furnished (excluding "consumeables" (including paper goods), including linens, BBQ, etc. Several golf courses within 15 minutes (2 within 2 miles).

April hiking trip

Very spacious. Great setting on large, quiet lake. Good response from property manager. (Some expected soap products were not available when we arrived but soon provided by property mgr.) Comfortable bed. Previous occupants did a terrible job of washing the dishes. (For example, there was grit inside coffee cups.) There was food debris in silverware drawer and on some of the kitchen cabinet shelves.

Very Relaxing and Quiet

Great 3 day getaway. Very nice people at the near by Marina offered to let us use the fishing boat for free for the remainder of our stay aftter he first 2 days of rental, unfortunately we were leaving the next day. Cottage was cozy and all amenities we needed were provided. Only advice would be to use a little less scented room fresheners. Some rooms had 2-3 and was very strong. Thanks David!

October Stay

Not fancy, but very quaint, clean and comfortable older cabinish feel. Kitchen very accommodating. Just bring your eats. Bedrooms are nice size and comfortable. Sun porch is comfortable for watching the sun come up or just to sit and watch activity on the lake. Fenced yard is bonus for your fur baby or little humans. Loved sitting by the fire at night on the lake shore watching the moon rise. It shined on the lake waters as if the lake was on stage. Beautiful! Thank you Dave for sharing your piece of tranquility!

Diamond Lake

Great piece of property and nice location on the lake. Nice sandy little beach and large yard which was wonderful. We had a great time! House is a definitely a cottage inside which is cool, wonderful A/C for those hot days. The only thing that would have made it better was a bit of dusting and updating the inside to help those of us who had allergies, but hey, it’s the lake! We went outside most of the time anyway.

Reunion with Friends

Comfortable and quaint. Everyone enjoyed being there. Just be sure you can manage steps down to the house. Nice yard for kids and dogs to play in. If you want to take a boat ride, bring your own boat or rent one at the marina nearby.
