Fourth Trip to the Island House

Simply the best rental on Diamond Lake! This was our fourth time to the island house. Jacqui is the best host and the house is stocked with everything you need. The views of the lake are amazing.

Best location on the island. I believe this is our fifth or sixth time staying at the #3 house on Diamond Island. As usual, everything was perfect. The house is well stocked and Jacqui is very responsive and so easy to work with. I bring my 19 ft. fishing boat and rent a pontoon every year, The dock easily accommodates both boats. We had a great time.

Island Time

This was a very nice rental in a good location on Diamond Island. The house was clean and well stocked and the communications were excellent. To enjoy the lake you will need to have a boat. I rented from Park Shore Marina and that was very convenient.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Kitchen and floors needed to be cleaned, but we took care of it quickly. Home and property are nice and people at the lake and in town were very friendly! It isn't really possible to swim from the house. We had kids with us so we rented a pontoon boat which is almost a necessity if you want to swim. Ferry worked great and was easy. Lovely time and we would do it again.

Fabulous Island living

What a fabulous getaway. There is an on demand barge to bring you to the island, that works during a long portion of the day and evening. Although you can unplug and feel the calm away from the everyday, the property was fully equipped with towels for water activities and kitchen items and had great wifi. Jacqui was very responsive and kept us informed during our stay. We also enjoyed walking the path around the island.

Perfect place for Midwest summer week

This is our 2nd time staying at this house. Perfect place for summer week in the midwest. House has everything you need. Lovely screened in porch that looks out on the water. 2 fire pits were awesome. Paddle boards to cruise the lake. Owner is always great to deal with. Responds back quickly with answers to any questions. We definitely recommend this Diamond Lake house!

Fantastic home on the Lake

We had an amazing week on Diamond Lake. The house was fully equipped for a week of fun and sun on lake. Comfy beds, strong AC, and a stocked kitchen. Outside, the huge dock is perfect for staging all your water sports. We rented a boat and brought 2 eFoils. The tiki bar is a great spot to relax with a cocktail after a long day on the water. Jacqui was easy to work with and quick to communicate. We will be coming back for sure.

Third Trip to the Island

This is our third time staying at this property and I will be booking it again next year. We love being on the island and the dock on the channel is perfect for my boat. The yard is large for games like bags and Frisbee. The house is always clean and well stocked. Jacqui is very helpful and responds to questions very quickly.

SUPER CUTE!

We had a small girls weekend and it was great! Would be perfect for a couples weekend. Place was clean to the eye. Awesome views and tons of space! Regular cable television and limited streaming - which we made work with our hot spots! Best appliances and quality If sheets and towels I’ve had at a place like this!! She had a Fully stocked kitchen which was amazing! You really could bring your own clothes and food and be set! & barge was easy access!!

Perfect spot on Diamond Island

One of the best views and lots on Diamond Island - even on Diamond Lake! Great lawn for lawn games and a pier for your boat. We hung out almost the whole time on a large screened in porch - keep those summer bugs away! Inside of the house very comfortable. Highly recommend this home.

This place will not disappoint

This place is beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and the view of Diamond Lake especially in the morning (from the upper deck) is so peaceful and serene. Jacqui has thought of everything, you really just need to bring yourself, your clothes and food. The beds are super comfortable which is always a bonus. A fully stocked kitchen with every dish, pot, tray, utensils, sharp knives, cutting boards, etc you could possibly need. I was very impressed and Jacqui has beautiful taste! It was the best vacation, our time here passed too quickly! We plan on staying here again next year if it’s available. We brought our boat too and my husband and son caught blue gill and crappie everyday! I highly recommend this home….you will not be disappointed!

Great Location and Great House

This is our second time staying at house and we have it for another week in July. We love the island. It's like stepping back in time. The channel is great for docking the boat, the backyard is large for playing games like bags, and the house is always well stocked with everything you could need. Jacqui is always very responsive. Highly recommended.
