This was our second time staying in this cozy cabin. Comfortable beds! Enjoyable outside seat, BBQ, water toys: Kayak & waterboard. We love enjoying the lake view from inside the cabin. You don’t have to have perfect weather to enjoy this cozy cabin.
Easy to rent a pontoon boat from the marina
The sun was not out but the view is always perfect.

Fun on the water at an accessible price

We really enjoyed our stay! This is an old-school cottage with a few upgrades that make it feel comfortable and clean. We loved being right on the water and the availability of kyaks for an additonal fee. We enjoyed swimming here too but water shoes are helpful. This cottage is on an island, which is part of the charm, but make sure you bring everything you need--it's not easy to run to the store. For that reason, it would be nice if they stocked more basics in the kitchen like salt, pepper, oil, creamer and sugar. Good coffee was supplied.

Great time!

Everything was perfect! The only small…comment-not criticizing. The shoreline is a little rocky so my dog couldn’t get in the water and that might be tough for smaller kids. We swam off the end of the pier and the water is sooooo clean. I rented the paddle board and I was very entertaining for all who saw that struggle but it was super fun. We would come back and my cousins plan on a stay here as well. Great neighbors too!!!! Excellent communication the entire time.

Great location

Location was great, neighbors were friendly. We didn’t spend much time indoors. We were always on the lake or the deck. The contact always responded promptly. The dock could use some updating which I think they already have plans of doing that. The shore is super rocky, but if you swim out by the end of the dock it’s great! Will be renting again in the future.

The perfect getaway…

Wanted to get out of town for a few days; a little “girl time” for me and my daughter, we wanted to do something before I start my new job and she heads back to school. It was the perfect spot. Diamond lake is a hidden gem only 90 min from where we live so, it was just the right amount of “away” without burning a day at airports and such. A quick trip to the grocery store on the way into town and we were set for the weekend. Stacey was easy to contact and there were no hiccups whatsoever! Keep in mind that this particular property is on the island and therefore requires you to get on the car ferry to get across; just about a 5 min cruise. Also, remember that they are on eastern time; we’re from Indiana so we had to factor that in. Bring some floaties or your boat if you have one and enjoy this quaint oasis that has been well cared for for over 80 years by her family. We will make every effort to return next year!

Pictures are not indiciative of cleanliness & condition of home

The carpet is gross. To say pet-stained, is an understatement...& I have a dog...but he doesn't pee all over my carpet. I brought it to Stacey's attention immediately & sent pictures and she said they "were aware." The "new" bathroom has a shower door that won't shut so water goes all over the floor (& there are no hooks to hang anything & they didn't bother to even paint the drywall). The beds do not fit the frame on which they sit and fall in when sat upon. All beds were terribly uncomfortable with springs poking you in the back. Don't even consider the hide-a-bed unless you take the mattress & put it on the floor (which is covered in pet pee). The 1960s oven has doors that open in such a way that it's very challenging to get a pizza in & out w/out burning yourself. Not a single float - not even a $5 noodle to float on--so would be nice to know you have to bring your own, especially since you're on an island. While the swimming area is shallow--it's completely rocky so you should know to bring shoes that can go in the water(my son cut his foot). Stacey was responsive when I told her the lawn needed mowing and the pier was unsafe & wobbly. They came immediately. The yard and house are unkept (abandoned pier and shore station on the unkept bank & chipped blue and yellow paint, windows painted shut). The neighbors are lovely & I felt badly for them as they all detest the house. It's the eyesore of the island. I should have just walked out after night one, but my boys & I had been planning this vaca for 6 months together & it was too late to go anywhere else. We just stayed outside mostly. I hope they will at the very least, replace the flooring. I'm shocked this is owned by a realtor. I hope they'll sell this valuable property to somewhere who will care about it.

Mixed Reviews

I was not impressed with the upkeep of this cottage. I grew up around my aunt’s lake cottage at Shavehead lake so I know that it isn’t an easy job to take care of a cottage. The decks were both in need of some sanding and painting. There were not curtains on a lot of the windows. The sliding glass door wouldn’t latch. Luckily there was a board to keep it closed. The screen door to the sliding door was badly damaged. In the pictures it showed small decks at the bottom of the steps and the end of the pier, but there was none. Luckily we rented a pontoon so we could sit close to the lake to enjoy it. We couldn’t use the gas grill because it was so dirty. There was cleaner but not rags, we didn’t want to ruin the kitchen or bathroom towels to clean it. There was also supposed to be a first aid kit, which there was none. Whoever designed the bathroom wasn’t very good. You have to get in the corner to open the door to get in and out. Plus you have to stand in a cold shower until it warms up, otherwise it sprays out. On a positive closure to this review. I like the decor that was picked out. This cottage would be so welcoming and cozy with just a little tender loving care.

Cottage needs fixing/care. Expensive!

Great view. Nice decorations-BUT way too many $$$ for: Daughter to get locked in bedroom- handle on inside door broken and missing both bedroom door handles broken. Sister with cane had to watch very broken decking boards by door to get in. Lots of bugs came in under door if out side light used. No door mat when rained very wet floor. Silverware had butter and food on some. Charge for parking with no actual easy place to park. Tight between shed and tree. Only1 kitchen towel, 1 bathroom hand towel for 6 people for the week. Paid extra cleaning fees and asked to take garbage out, strip beds, clean and disinfect all surfaces etc. etc.!!

Great place

The place was an amazing location and well equipped including the kitchen. Water was a bit rocky, so definitely bring water shoes but was also perfectly clear with no seaweed around. Definitely recommend renting a boat as the marina is right across from the house and easy to bring boat back and forth. One of the places to sleep was a rollaway bed so we brought an air mattress which worked out great. Only two double beds and a pullout couch plus cot. Overall we loved the place and the lake !

Beautiful view

This little cottage was perfect for our 4th of July weekend. The neighborhood on the island was really cool and the people who live there do a 4th of July parade on their golf carts, it was really cute. This house has a great view of the lake and we were able to sit on the back deck and watch the fireworks. The house was clean, all the kitchen appliances were clean, and the grill was in good condition. The patio furniture was comfortable and the fire pit was fun to use on our first night there. We got to meet the neighbors and everyone is so friendly. The swimming area is rocky so please bring water shoes.

All that we expected, and a bit more..

Property is a quirky lake cottage. Beds are creaky, floors are not level, needs some updating but exactly what you would expect from a lake cottage rental. Boat dock is very shallow with rocky bottom so be prepared. Could use new carpet, some new mattresses, and a bigger fire pit. Barge is a factor to consider as well as we almost missed the morning window on our after Labor Day departure, make sure you know the schedule. We brought our boat, which makes this place a perfect boating vacation property. Boat launch is on the mainland, but there is a small ramp without a dock next to the barge on the island. Also there is no gas docks on the lake, so you need to bring extra cans.

great location-lacking basics

Hi The cottage was in a great location. I have rented cottages for years and have never had one so poorly equiped with basic kitchen items. Also, the stove was ancient, dirty and hard to use. The lack of wi-fi is a big negative. The channel changer didn't work. The beds were like sleeping in a canoe-we rolled to the middle. We left a day early since we were so sore from sleeping on those beds. The shower pressure was wonderful!

Lots of Disappointments

The worst thing about this property was the gap between the deck and the back door. All three kids’ legs ended up stuck in the gap, and got SERIOUSLY scrapped up. Also, kids got hurt on nails sticking out of the deck. The shower head was broken & water went all over the floor. The “fire pit” was completely rotted out. The beds were horribly uncomfortable. The only toy, game, or play thing was a sandbox with barely any sand. There was no butcher knife (no salt or pepper either), not enough towels or wash cloths and only a half bottle of soap for three days. There were curtains missing on windows. No batteries in the remote & no internet. I would not recommend this property as is.
