Lake Front Michigan Cottage on Prestigious Diamond Lake
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Cassopolis
I grew up on Diamond Lake and loved it! After being gone for almost 30 years, I was able to go back and find this great lake cottage just down the street from where I grew up. My memories of my childhood and teenage years are consumed with time spent on Diamond Lake with family and friends. I now can share this story book location with my own children.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Relaxing, Relaxing, Relaxing! Did I mention our home is a great place to go to relax? You can do as much or as little as your desire. Sit on the porch and rock in our rocking chairs or jump in a boat and ski the lake. The outside fire pit is a great place to sit around and enjoy marshmellows and lightning bugs.

If you want true relaxation but still need to keep in touch with the outside world, this is the place. Breakfast on the big porch, lazy yellow-chair days in the sun, reading under the pergola, fishing on Diamond Lake, swimming at the pier or off the sandbar, moonlit boat rides, animated conversations around the firepit and don't forget to bring an X-Box for the kids on the big TV. Post to Facebook, check your email or tune into CNN (great cable), then go antiquing in Dowagiac and Niles. Check into the Niles farmers market and the weekly summer concerts in the downtown Dowagiac gazebo. It's an absolute treat cooking in Beth's fully outfitted kitchen as well as being able to wash wet towels and hang up swim suits in the laundry room (not to mention having a second refrigerator). Compared to what you'd pay for a comparable suite in a hotel, Beth's lake house is truly a bargain --- and a lot more fun! We've already booked for 2012.

This is not your typical lake cottage rental. This is a beautiful, well equipped, and maintained home. Not only is the home lovely, but the landscaping and the view to the lake are gorgeous. It is a large home with lots of outdoor living space too. The front porch with the two large rockers were always in use. My family, and friends all enjoyed their trip to Diamond Lake, and we will definately return!

Two weeks of relaxation

As luck would have it, we rented this beautiful and well-maintained home for two weeks in June during which it rained every other it day it seems. It wasn't hard to stay indoors since the view of the lake is lovely to watch in all weather. Planning for the rain, I brought two bins full of photos to organize and put in albums. At home this would never have been accomplished! The huge table was a big help. Being able to stop and just sit on the porch, even in the rain, was relaxing. There is a nice two-mile walk (one mile out and one mile back) going west along the lakefront. Every evening the weather permitted, my husband and I took our drinks down to the dock and stayed until the moon rose. Our last night there we were rewarded with huge full moon and a glistening lake. It was heaven. Beth is wonderful to work with and is truly concerned for the comfort of her guests. Would absolutely stay again.

This was a great cottage. THeir was plenty of space for all of us (5 seperate families). We thought we needed to rent an RV in the beginning, and was surprised that we didn't need it. The outdoor living space is key and the 3 porches/patios provided ample space. The kitchen was just beautiful and had plenty of space for cooking/entertaining. The view is beautiful! We will definitely seek out this cottage in the future.

We enjoyed a perfect fall weekend at this lovely, clean and well equipped cottage. Our stay on Diamond Lake complimented our trips to Nortre Dame for the football game and activities. The cottage exceeded our expectations. The owner is a pleasure to do business with. We would return!
