Diamond Lake Home w/ Dock Close to 2 Ski Resorts!

Our main reason for renting this house was the beach and dock. The house was well stocked, but old and cramped, especially the kitchen. There was 11 of us. I couldn't imagine more. If you plan on spending most of your time outside, you should be comfortable.

The best thing about this house was the freely shared kayaks, canoe, stand up paddle boards, water floaties, and even wifi with tv already logged in. I have never been in a VRBO that shared so much! When we had a great time there. When we had a momentary hiccup in the wifi, Dana was immediately available via text and helped us solve the problem. Everything was very clean, and the whole house was clean and bright. We would rent it again in a minute if we wanted to go to Diamond Lake again. There are plenty of beds, a tidy, very well stocked kitchen, and lots of areas to visit and play. There was even a stand mixer to use when we made cake! The AC was small but kept the house cool enough. There were many fans provided for cooling as well. Loved it!

First of all, I want everyone to know I have wonderful thoughts about this place and I'm considering renting again. The home has three levels with restrooms on each which allows for multiple families privacy. The deck with the yard easing right into the water was amazing for all ages. The kitchen had more cooking supplies and spices than I have ever experienced in a rental. I brought my own crock pot and skillet due to past experiences and never had a need for them. We spent each day fishing and we caught quite a few perch and trout. Kids were all able to Kayak, paddle board, and tube. The yard was plenty large enough to play volleyball as well. The over sized couch in the living area was perfect for some downtime. All 14 of us fit very well! The location of the home was nice as well. Just 6-7 miles down the road to Newport. Has everything you need (Gas, major grocery, fishing supply, restaurants, etc.) Things I would adjust (I actually wanted to just let the owner know in private, but don't see access to. The following are just informational for owners because I know you go through a company that manages it for you and for future renters to make it perfect.) 1) In the description it says there is only a Keurig, but there is a standard coffee maker and it was half full and on when we arrived. I'm not sure how long that had been. Someone's reading glasses were left on a bed and the bathtub had to be cleaned before use. It just looked as though when cleaned last the film was not rinsed off. 2) There was only 1 extra garbage sack for the main kitchen. We looked high and low, but finally just went and bought some. 3) Only one roll of extra toilet paper in each bathroom was not enough either when you have 14 people for 5 days. We again ran to the store. 4) Only 2 dishwasher pods were there. If you have 14 people, you know you go through a ton of dishes. We did a lot of dishes by hand. 5) In the description it said there were AC wall units and there aren't any. We did okay with the fans, but it was only in the high 70's, low 80's. I couldn't imagine 90-100. 6) In the description it says there are lake toys (Thank you so much for sharing! Things like this make rentals that much more likable.) Beware though, we had quite a consistent breeze which caused the neighbors floating trampoline to be pretty much on the rental property the whole time we were there. Some discussion went back and forth amongst the adults in my group whether or not it was part of the rental or shared etc. The second anyone got on the trampoline I got a phone call with the neighbor complaining about us encroaching on his property. I totally understand. I wouldn't want to live next to a rental either, so just an FYI for any future renters. 7) Finally, the dock is really unstable at the beginning portion. Everyone was teasing me because I was not sure about walking across and got mad when anyone walked by me when I was on it. By the first night a section fell and hurt the youngest on our trip. He's okay, just a pretty deep scrape. His sister admitted he was walking across it quite a bit because he was really excited when he got there and wanted to be out by the water. Mind you, he only ways 60 lbs. I'm just glad non of us middle aged, super out of shape people didn't fall. We chose to just leave the section on the ground because we didn't want to risk it falling again and/or breaking it. I hope this helps anyone that rents this wonderful home in the future. It is truly one of the very best family set ups!

Great stay, house is very clean, Diamond lake is amazing, great sunset view, neighbors were awesome, house has everything you need, beds were comfy, and had a blast. One thing we didn't realize when we booked is that one of their two ring cameras point directly to the beach/grass/dock area, which is just a bit uncomfortable when you have a bunch of young adults walking around in their bathing suits. Other than that, great stay.

Great stay, lots of room for guests, beautiful property, amazing neighbors, house stocked with everything you could possibly need, and very clean. The only thing I wish we would have known before we booked is that one of the two cameras they have point right out to the beach/grass/dock which having a group of young adults walk around in our bathing suits was a bit uncomfortable. But still a great stay and a great property.

We have a large family and this place was perfect for our annual family gathering. Great location, ample parking, awesome views and a perfect combination of shaded grass and sandy beach. The owners were great to deal with and have plenty of supplies for your family dinner or BBQ. Outside fridge, Lake Toys and Corn Hole were great touches. Thanks for having us... we will be back for sure!

WE loved this cabin!! Location is great! The cabin itself is wonderful! Plenty of beds for large groups. Very comfortable! Owner was awesome very responsive and great to work with. If you have a chance to rent it I highly recommend it. Hope to come back again soon!! Thank you for a fabulous week a Diamond Lake!

Beautiful views and great home away from home.
