Great house!

The water was shallow which was amazing for kids. They had fun in the kayaks the house provided and a paddle board we brought up. The house was perfect and we loved having the pink pong table and good kid’s bowls and cups etc. We went with our 6 young kids and it was perfect. It was very hot the first night (I assume the AC window unit was not running in the day), but the next couple nights were much better. It is right off the highway so nothing to walk to and it was kind of loud, but that was fine. We would stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at this property. We were in Washington for a family reunion/anniversary party. The property was perfect and more well equipped than most. The kitchen is amazing!!

Lovely home

We stayed here as a family when our daughter got married. The house is lovely inside and the view and lake access are spectacular. The kitchen had everything and more that we needed and the furniture and beds were all very comfy. The only thing we didn’t like is the crazy busy highway you have to turn off of to get to the home and larger house numbers would be helpful. Other than that it worked perfectly for our family!

Property not as advertised!

How do you like 90 degree heat... inside!? How about a weed infested beach with bugs swarming into your face as you walk down to the dock? Or, how about being 20 feet off a busy highway... literally! Logging trucks flying by at 70MPH... makes it a little hard to sleep with the windows open because the home has no AC! There you have it... those are the highlights. I did appreciate the property owners owning up to the problems and refunding some of our rental fee. But, it would have been nice to know what I was renting a head of time. Yes, make sure to read the entire property description. It was a learning experience. The lake is beautiful... clean, great skiing and tubing, warm enough for even my wife to swim in! The house itself is wonderful and comfortable as long as it's 70 degrees outside. I'll never stay there again and will enjoy driving by on the freeway at 70 MPH and beeping my horn in greeting, happy that it's a memory and not a future vacation!

Another great getaway!We love spending time at Diamond Lake and this property is hard to beat! There is plenty of room to spread out and the new AC unit helps keep the summer temperatures outside. A ping pong table and kayaks for guests to use is unheard of, what a treat! Highly recommend!

Our stay was good. The property was up to date and very clean. The sleeping was a bit of a challenge. We had 6 adults and 3 children. The futon upstairs was in an open area that overlooked the living room so the kids couldn't sleep there as the adults were still up. The lake at this property is very shallow. We had to anchor our boat out a bit and walk to it through the water or use our wave runner. Also, the noise of the traffic bothered some of us and it lasted off and on all night. FYI...be sure and pack extra paper towels and TP. With 9 people we ran out and had to use our own. All of this being said, it was a restful, enjoyable vacation for our family :)

Beautiful Cabin, Amazing Sunsets

This property has everything you need. Kitchen is very well stocked, beds comfortable, lots of room for a family gathering. The addition of a window AC unit in the kitchen, which was not there last time we stayed is a welcome addition during the warm days (our stay's high was in the low 80's), and new coverings on the windows that get the morning sun helpful. On very hot days, the cabin could still be very warm...cool nights, windows with screens and lots of available fans and ceiling fans in each room is helpful! We also had some quite cooler non-swimming days but the beautiful, unobstructive view from the cabin added to some very nice relaxing, read a book days. Yes, as mentioned in the description, there is road noise but you adjust and that aspect also adds easy access, and a quick trip into Newport for food supplies or dinner out! The gradual water depth is perfect swimming for children, our 6-year-old could walk out to nearly the end of the dock with head still above water. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful family time!

What a delightful place for our family to share together! Beautiful and spacious, the beds quite comfortable with snuggly sheets and blankets, plenty of linens, an extremely well-equipped kitchen and very child-friendly - the kids had lots of play spaces - even bubble wands for the enclosed deck. Gorgeous views of the lake while enjoying morning coffee, and a good sturdy dock. Definitely as advertised and everything we expected! Many special memories made! Thank you!

Family time at Diamond Lake

The property is great for a family gathering, and close to people on the Idaho side of Spokane. We appreciated the spacious layout, with plenty of dining space for a family, dinner, and seating for our fellowship time. We also loved the Lakeview, and in warmer weather would have loved to take advantage of the kayaks and the dock. Laundry facility was helpful, beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water and small amenities like shampoo, detergent, and soap. Biggest stressor for us was that while I was on vacation, my husband was not. The posting was very clear about havingWi-Fi and streaming ability for both entertainment and computer use, but we found out the day, before we were to arrive that it was not the case. By that time, it was too late to make other arrangements. Also, there was no DVD player available to use in lieu of streaming, so we were left with watching videos on our phones and trying to use a hotspot that was not very reliable.On the positive, the host was very communicative and did her best to make the change, but as it was early in the season, she had not confirmed that the property matched the current listing details. We were understandably frustrated, and the host gave us one free nights stay (the base price )We would like to stay in the area again, if possible, at Sonja‘s place,and have recommended the house for our family and friends, but this time will be more careful about our questions before we book.

Beautiful sparkling clean house on Diamond Lake

We had a wonderful stay with family and friends at this super clean and spacious lake house. The weather was warm, but the house was very comfortable with a window air conditioner in the kitchen and fans in every room. Loved having breakfast on the patio overlooking the lake, hanging out on the dock and using the kayaks from the shallow beach. There was excellent communication and quick replies from the host. We would definitely recommend this well-appointed home.

Wonderful Diamond Lake Cabin

Our family has stayed at this cabin several times and always enjoy our time there. We just got back from this summer’s stay and wanted to call out several new benefits we noticed. Most significantly, there is now an air conditioning unit in the kitchen which is a game changer! The kitchen reconstruction is beautiful and she has almost every appliance stocked for your needs (rice cooker, stand mixer, crock pot, 2 coffee makers, Foreman grill etc). The newly carpeted ping pong area is a family favorite and we spent a lot of time enjoying this space in the mornings. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Sonja Willitts

Host profile image
Hello! Sonja and Kevin invite you to enjoy and hopefully take care of our house. We are both in our 60's and enjoy an active lifestyle. We live in the Lake Tahoe basin. Sonja is a long distance horse rider (commonly known as an endurance rider). She also enjoys taking our dogs on hikes and walks. We have horses, dogs and cats.
Kevin is bicyclist. He enjoys racing on his road bike, but also takes out a gravel bike and a fat tire bike to ride with the dogs. If you're wondering why we bought property near Newport, WA, Sonja was born in Spokane, WA and still has a ton a family living from Newport, WA to Moscow, ID. So family is why we bought the property and built the house on Diamond Lake. We enjoy inviting relatives over for fun, food and water play when we visit up there.

Why they chose this property

This lake is ideal for small children to play in. We have a long shallow shelf of sand, gradually getting deeper to the end of the dock. Safe for small supervised children. The lake starts to warm up sometime in June, usually by early July it's a very nice temperature for water sports.
