Thanksgiving at the lake house

My family traveled East and my sister’s family traveled West and we met in the middle to celebrate Thanksgiving and be together. We were so happy to have such a nice comfortable place to stay in Diamond Lake, Michigan. Host was very easy to work with and the house was cute and comfortable. Just what we needed.

Fall Getaway!

Had a wonderful week at the house and fantastic fall weather. The house was very warm and charming and loved the view of the lake during the day! We have friends in the area and had a few dinners at the house with family and friends and everyone said how comfortable the house was! We have stayed at other houses in the area thru VRBO and this was the most enjoyable to date! Access to the owners was a text or call away! Truth be told a couple of little issues but for the most part, we would definitely go back!!!! P.S.: The beds were fantastic!!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and sharing your beautiful lake cottage!

Nice quiet spot on the lake

The property owner's communication was probably the best of any former place I have rented through Vrbo. The house was very clean. The owner checked in with me multiple times to ensure everything was going well. The room facing the lake has a perfect view. The bed that was in the main bedroom on the first floor was very comfortable, I slept better there for the week than I had in my own bed for the last month. Everything was available that I needed for the week (cooking ware, cleaning products, bathroom and bed supplies, etc...). I would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet neighborhood on a lake with a decent amount of lake frontage.

Lovely Lakeside vacation spot

Lovely lakeside vacation spot - easy access to lake and dock. Super nice for boating and water activities. Space worked well for kids; we had fun visiting an orchard in the area and spent lots of good time on the dock and playing in the shallows. Both kitchen and laundry features worked really well for our families.

We found a diamond at Diamond Lake

The most relaxing and comfortable house on Diamond Lake. All the beds were soft and comfortable just like the feel throughout the whole house. Spacious rooms with lots of light and seating for our large family. Everything you could need or ask for was provided, including the best view on the lake to watch the sunrise and people go by. Martha and Jay are incredible hosts and made us feel right at home, along with their fantastic street of neighbors. We have a family of seven and it's rare to leave a two week vacation ( our house was being renovated) and feel like we can still be around each other. But the house and things to do kept us so busy and spread out, that we all really were able to relax. We will book this house again for sure! I am wanting to stay there I. The fall to see the sunrise over the changing leaves in the fall. As soon as you walk into the house you feel all the laughter and love that Jay, Martha, and their family have shared there over the years. It's like an old friend. Comfortable, relaxing, and easy to be around.
