We are second generation owners of this property. My children spent every summer here growing up - and continue to do so as young adults. My husband and I live in Palos Heights (suburb of Chicago) but once the weather turns warm we enjoy as much time as possible at Diamond as do our children and extended family. We have family visiting every summer from New York, Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico. Everyone makes a point to spent part of their summer at Diamond Lake - that's how much everyone loves it!

My parents purchased this property in 1979 when it was a 2-bedroom 1 bathroom cottage. Over the years, a third bedroom was added to the first floor, then a deck with a hot tub. In 1990 a dining room was added and the deck was turned into a screen porch. In 2007, a second story was added creating a master bedroom and bathroom plus two additional bedrooms and an additional bathroom. Also in 2007, a coachhouse was added with three bedrooms and a full bath. In 2015, a sun porch with a hot tub was added. In 2016, a shade deck was added. The second generation purchased the property from my parents in 2016. In 2017, a complete first floor renovation was completed featuring a brand new kitchen, a great room with vaulted ceilings and all new windows. All furnishings, linens, towels and decor were completely updated in 2017 as well. This is a wonderful home to spend time with family and friends. We have loved it for almost forty years and we know you will too!!!

Diamond Lake is unparalleled for its' beauty and you can see that beauty from every vantage point inside this home - from the kitchen, the family room, the dining room, the deck, the screen porch, and many of the bedrooms. Once you get here, you won't want to leave - not even to run to the is how comfortable you will be here. Whether you spend time playing scrabble on the porch, reading on the deck, swimming in the lake, cooking breakfast in the kitchen, grilling hot dogs for lunch, smoking ribs for dinner, having a bags tournament on the lawn, or sitting around the bonfire making s'mores at night, this is where you want to spend your vacation with family and friends.
