About this property

Paradise on Diamond, includes hot tub, guest house & game room

We like to call this paradise! The main cabin includes a solarium for bird watching and hand hewn rock gas fireplace. Beautifully landscaped with fire pit, swing and decking overlooking the lake. The guest house includes a jetted tub, game room and its' own private deck. Bunkhouse is great for kids or those who want privacy. Gazebo has hot tub available year round. The front lawn is big enough for lawn games or just hanging out. Two youth kayaks and a twenty foot canoe come with the property. Pontoon available for rent. Fishing for northerns, walleyes and panfish are good right off the dock. Swim off the end of the dock or simply head around the corner for sandy public beach. Amenities include You Tube Tv (local channels & more), two fully equipped kitchens, hi-speed internet, three fridges, two sets of front load laundry, game room with air hockey, shuffleboard, darts, arcade console and more. We supply all linen, firewood, shampoo/conditioner, bath towels and beach towels, napkins, Kleenex and toilet paper. The owner, Mark, lives across the road in what is know as the "Curiosity Cabin" where you and your family can get a free painting or music experience. Cheers!

Great place to stay

Paradise on Diamond La

Our contact person, Mark, was easy to communicate with before arrival and during our stay. The property is amazing, something for everyone. Our kids & grands loved it. This vacay was to celebrate our 50th. We fished off the dock, took the kids to the public beach, went for pontoon rides (our kids rented Mark’s), cornhole, shuffleboard, air hockey, went into Spicer to the go carts,etc. , enjoyed the hot tub. Each family took a turn at making dinner. Mark & Julie are very accomadating.

Annual Family Summer Getaway

We stayed with our adult son and daughter and their families (10 total). It was great to have the various areas, for both hanging out and sleeping, with younger children. The pontoon boat was a great option for our larger group. Thank you, Mark, for your hospitality. It was great to meet you and your family!

A great weekend stay

We had a great time over Labor Day weekend. House was well appointed and comfortable. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out. Game room and hot tub were awesome! Mark was a great host. I highly recommend stopping over at the Curiosity Cabin. Mark gave us a painting lesson, it was very fun! Can't wait to go back again

Good but not great

Great location, nice home. Everything was great and I would’ve given a 5 star except the owner lived next door and kept micro-managing. Which made our stay a little bit discomforting.

I’m sorry this guest felt this way. After showing them around and answering questions on the grill I never stepped on the property again until they left. I did send them a note to bring in the lawn games before the rain hit. And I’m glad they did!

So much variety for all ages.

We 6 adults hardly had to entertain our teenagers as there was so much to do. The game room kept them so busy we hardly saw them except at eating times. As adults, there was the pontoon, the hot tub, the deck overlooking the lakes beautiful views, fishing, leisurely walks down the road, and endless board and lawn games to play. Nearby towns like Spicer and Willmar gave us grocery shopping and places to eat and hang out. The Curiosity Cabin was a fun place to jam guitar, and drums with the owner. This was a wonderful place to spend the week. So relaxing !

We had a great time at Paradise! We had 7 people in our group including a toddler. The property is beautiful, and the owners have created a special experience here. The owner was very nice and extremely responsive. The firepit is amazing. We enjoyed the hummingbirds and other birds visiting the feeders. The gameroom is great and so much fun for a rainy day. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed the lake. Kitchen is well stocked with pots. Pans, baking dishes, measuring cups- all you need to cook meals. Everything was clean and neatly organized There is just the right amount of privacy, while still being a short distance to stores for supplies or restaurants to visit. One of my favorite things were the games that were hand made that were located around the cabin, like royal rummy- they added such a special touch.

Great for multi-age group!

We had a group of 12 stay at Mark’s place on Diamond Lake. He was very accommodating to our group as we all came from different directions meeting for a long weekend family gathering. We were able to fit 8 vehicles with space across at Mark’s place. And you must visit his Curiosity Cabin. He jammed with my 12yr old son on the drums and piano and handed our nephew a fancy bass guitar to play, who had never held a guitar before but now wants to take lessons! Mark’s energy and friendliness was enjoyed. The rain kept us off the lake at times but we throughly enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Great spaces over all for large groups, elementary ages, high school, college, young adult, middle age up to grandma at 71. We all enjoyed our time!

Paradise for sure

We had our two children and our five grandkids, and it was truly a memorable experience for us all. Probably the best part was Curiosity Cabin. Mark had the grandkids form a band. He taught them how to play the drums, guitar, tamborine,piano, and even an instrument that you didn't even have to touch to play! He also had the kids make a painting that turned out wonderful. They were very proud to take it home. Their curiosity was definitely peaked! The Gameroom was a big hit for the kids and adults alike. The bonfires and sunsets were magical. Everything was as represented. We brought our pontoon and the only downside of bringing your own boat is that Mark requires that it be taken out each night which was a bit of a hassle. Otherwise, we enjoyed Paradise and the memories that were created.

Family vacation

Nice place if you’re looking for a busy neighborhood and entertainment for kids (age 10) in the guest house. Air hockey is hard to play due to puck getting stuck in the plywood. Hot tub was nice but very strong chemical smell- and couldn’t stay in long. Teens had fun fishing off the dock and taking bike trails. Only 1 kayak was available and was missing a plug. Fire pit is extremely deep and not easy to have a fire outside. Birds were fun to watch- tons of chipmunks running everywhere. Massage beds/beds extremely uncomfortable. Kitchen supplies were very basic- be sure to pack Tupperware, tinfoil, ect. Bathrooms only include shampoo/conditioner. Be sure to pack all bathroom necessities. Kitchen had leaking water consistently on the floor and into the dinning area if not kept dry with towels. Hidden fake rat was an unpleasant surprise. Uncomfortable feeling in main bedroom with windows facing directly into the owners place. Site stated they stayed there on the weekends. Owner was there our whole stay and we felt like we were always being watched. Owner was very nice but overly communicative. Teen boys enjoyed curiosity cabin band. This may be a great place for some families.

Great lake front location.

Nice accommodations and fun game room. 4 generations enjoyed a great vacation. The owners are very nice and helpful. You do need to be careful on the stairs to the loft. The railing does not extend the entire length and the stairs are quite “squeaky “. There are lots of games for all ages. Fun place.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Mark Haen (retired). I was a media specialist (graphic arts, photography, video & audio). I am an avid sailor, bowler, oil painter, musician, songwriter. We have two kids, Joe and Jackie. Five grandkids, Mav, Brody, Charlotte, Nolan and Duncan. I love meeting new people.

Why they chose this property

I have been working on this property for almost twenty years! What I initially loved about was the privacy and relaxing atmosphere. It's not called "Paradise" for nothing!
One of our guests said it best. "It's a charming traditional wood cabin with modern amenities!"

What makes this property unique

Because the property has three separate buildings for sleeping it is more private than most. If you like woodsy rooms, there is plenty here. The property on the lakeside of the cabin is tiered into three levels. It's just lush! Set up for a relaxing getaway.
