The property grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. The terraced yard was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We had our own private, lush, green lawn for them. There were various shared areas; a grotto (a tucked away cozy spot to watch the lake, play cards etc), comfortable fire pit area, relaxing hot tub (again with a great view of the lake).
The lake was the ideal size for us to kayak and the property was situated on a desireable part of the lake with no lily pads, just beautiful sun rises. Diamond Lake is an overall quiet lake, just what we were looking for, with “no wake” restrictions at certain hours. Plenty of kayaks always available and a pontoon to rent (maybe next time 🙂) Our Eagles Nest cabin was as described. Cozy and comfortable with the deck overlooking the lake being the crown jewel. We spent most of our time here under the beautiful trees in the morning, and enjoying the sun in the afternoon. It the evening, when the landscaping lighting came on, the ambience was amazing!
If I have to find a negative, and it wasn't for us but it was a surprise, there are a lot of steps, so just be prepared. The lower level had a slight musty smell, but once we turned on the dehumidifier it was gone. It was also not as clean as the main level. We took a day trip to Pentwater and Ludington one day, and at the owners recommendation to a nearby wildflower sanctuary. 👍The owners were above and beyond welcoming, and attentive and truly made our stay enjoyable. Will return!
