About this property

Lake Side Guest House with Hot Tub

  • This beauty is named for its incredible sunrise view over Diamond Lake. It is our newest addition to the Blue Heron Retreat. Feel nature all around you when you step into this cozy space for two. Just outside your sliding door is a view from your private deck of Diamond Lake and only steps away is a courtyard with a hot tub. With over 200 footage of sandy beach, The Blue Heron Retreat allows you and your guests to splash, play and relax. Venture out further into the lake for fishing, kayaking, boating or catching the sunrise or sunset.

    October through April our minimum stay is 2 nights with a maximum of 14. During our peak season, May through September, rentals are Friday to Friday. This allows the perfect amount of time for you to experience all that Blue Heron Retreat has to offer and for our cleaning services to be scheduled every Friday from 11am to 4pm.

Beautiful property for a couples getaway. Christine was very nice and quick to answer any and all questions. Such a peaceful and quiet area that was perfect to celebrate 10 years of marriage and unwind and enjoy ourselves. Definitely recommend.

Christine's response time was more than excellent! There was a lot of snow up here in the last few months and we needed the patio shoveled off so we could use the grille for our dinner. She arrived with shovel in hand within three minutes of our text. She was friendly and helpful with ideas for an afternoon of shopping and lunch.The sunrise suite where we stayed was very clean and well appointed. When we arrived, there was a vase of roses to greet us. The short walk to the hot tub (which was clean and the perfect temperature) was made cosier with the provision of complementary robes. All the utensils that we needed for grilling were provided, and there is a small hot plate and toaster oven provided in lieu of a regular stove top/oven. They worked great for us. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood except for birdsong which we loved!We would reccommend!

Gorgeous Views, Cozy Vacation

Cozy updated space with a gorgeous view of the lake! There was a perfect little spot in the hallway for our daughters pack n play. We enjoyed the hot tub and the views while she slept. Loved that we had access to a hot tub and to kayaks to use on the lake!

Birthday Trip

We loved it here !! it was such a nice property, perfect for a couple ! The only miscommunication is that even though it only fits 2 overnight guests, you are not allowed to have any temporary company in the sunrise suite from what we understand. Next time we’ll be using it as a couples getaway !

We love our stay in the Sunset Suite at Blue Heron Retreat. The setting over the lake is beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and the kayaks, and maybe most of all just watching the sunrise over the lake. Everything was very clean and we loved the extra touches like fresh flowers and lavender. We came to the area to Ike the Dragon Trail and are thrilled to have found such a great place to stay. We will be back!

We always leave a visit at Diamond Lake feelings refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to start a new week. It’s a calm and peaceful environment to come and reconnect.

Perfect

Absolutely perfect spot for a nice quiet getaway. We picked this area because it’s not too far from Grand Rapids, but enough to see the beautiful night sky during the Perseid meteor shower! We even got to see the Milky Way with our own eyes, no telescope needed!
