About this property

OUR COVID CLEAN COMMITMENT TO OUR GUESTS:

For our 2022 season, we are continuing to offer an Ultra-clean stay in our lovely peaceful lodge. Our commitment is that the Lodge will be thoroughly sanitized after each guest leaves. Our cleaners will be types recommended be the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for killing the COVID-19 germ.
If you would kindly take a moment to read our guest reviews, you will see that we have always prioritized cleanliness for our guests. We are just “stepping-up” our efforts to ensure that not only are we clean, but as germ-free as possible as well.
We hope that this commitment will provide you with confidence and help ensure a worry-free getaway!

So, we invite you to find peace and relaxation in this beautifully renovated Lakefront Lodge with AWESOME views of Diamond Lake. Diamond Lake is an all-sport 200-acre lake in Newaygo County in the Manistee National Forest area of Michigan. Diamond Lake offers GREAT, fishing (perch, bass, crappie), swimming, boating & kayaking/canoeing. Two kayaks are included with the rental. The lake is clean with sandy bottom swimming. Public boat launch very near the Lodge if you would like to bring a boat. The Lodge sits atop a small bluff (thus the beautiful views) and has a newly added feature called Corey's Place which is located half-way down the bluff to the water. It is a 12' x 20' landing carved into the hillside with a large fire ring and seating. The s'mores never tasted so good as they do when you are sitting, reading, relaxing & looking over the lake from Corey's Place. The Lodge interiors are a contemporary industrial lodge feel with all the comforts of home. Full kitchen with everything you would need (minus the food of course). The 40' deck on the lake side of the lodge is furnished with seating for eating, cooking (gas grill), lounging and gathering. You will find this spot perfect for your getaway. It is very CLEAN and lends itself to not only an indoor place to stay, but an outdoor place to play as well.

Great cabin and hosts

Beautiful property that has been tastefully decorated, certainly well worth it. The pictures do not give it justice, it is even nicer in person. The hosts went above and beyond what is to be expected.

Quiet lake vacation!

My family and I had a wonderful time at this clean and comfortable home next to a beautiful lake. The host was very gracious and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and supplies for cooking. We’d definitely come back and would recommend to family and friends.

Getaway 2021

The Overlook Lodge was wonderful and the greeting by Gordon and Tamela was a first for us. We have rented several placed over the years and never has anyone met us upon arrival. A brief tour was provided and a gift of wine and snacks were provided. The lodge was well decorated and great for relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked and included all utensils/appliances needed for preparing meals. The weather was great so most of our time was spent outside. The deck was spacious and the furniture great for relaxing. Corey's place was great for nightly fires and having the view of the lake was great. The lake is very clean and we swam and fished it daily. The lake has a no wake ordinance in the morning and evening which was great for kayaking. We visited Newaygo which has some great shops along with Timbertown Coffee and River Stop Cafe which were our two favorites.

What makes this property unique

The lodge is not only on the bluff, but also nestled in the trees. It affords a private setting but still has wonderful views. Inside the Lodge, you will find a large open living, dining and kitchen area with vaulted ceilings. Two glass sliders open up to the 40 foot deck all overlooking the lake. So peaceful.
