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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2bef30a8-9696-4150-893f-5f75f7f5e7ca-1754878506868.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/907fc2e4-d58d-4550-abdd-6989855eb24c-1754878624157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f47fad93-9e6d-4f2a-b544-6c778bf58df5-1754878624550.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ab5ff97-5924-4069-9a05-0f3bf46850c4-1754878618663.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Charlene H.

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. ![Sunsets!!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a04f6ce3-2c87-4bc7-8f85-8a10692bab6a-1754570443839.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shannon B.

Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### 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. ##### Heather K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wyatt G.

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 ! ##### Tyler H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carissa R. Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Carissa R.

Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Bryan R.

Jul 15, 2017 #### Exactly as advertised and pictured Our family of 9 just returned home from a 4 night stay at this cabin. It was exactly as described. Spotlessly clean with a definite 'cabin in the woods' vibe. Just about everything one might need is provided, from kitchen tools and dishes, to paper products, to bath/beach towels. Two sets of washer/dryers, detergent, extra cots, lawn games, flashlights, plenty of bedding, a gaming system, a baby gate and stroller, an air pump and more - the place is very well provided! We used all three cabins - 4 in the main, 3 in the guest and 2 in the bunkhouse. Each was equally clean and inviting.The bathrooms were very nice and well stocked with oodles of towels, toilet paper and tissues. Plenty of hot water! Diamond Lake is a nice lake - the water was clear and the the bottom not muddy. Perfect for kayaking (we brought our own). Around the dock area the bottom was very weedy - felt like walking on thick shag carpet. The water around the dock was not deep - maybe 3-4 feet. We did not use the pontoon boat, but it looked very nice. The firepit area was our favorite. The owners provided ample firewood and a lighter. We enjoyed a bonfire and smores every night. There was plenty of outdoor seating. The hot tub was equally enjoyed, especially as the weather took a cold turn while we were there. There is a big basket of towels next to the hot tub - very convenient! Like the rest of the house, it was very clean. The yard is obviously well maintained with very attractive landscaping and fun little outdoor decorations. The lawns are green and well manicured. Overall it is a very nice property. You can tell that the owners really care about it, and work hard to keep it in pristine condition for guests. Several suggestions for future hosting: 1\. A half bath somewhere on the main floor of the guest house, or bunkhouse. The only downstairs bathroom is in the main house. Kids sleeping either in the bunkhouse or in the downstairs level of the guest house may find it difficult to get to the bathroom at night. 2\. A dock ladder. The dock is really high - about 3 feet above the water, and there is no ladder. The shoreline is brushy and rocky with no clear access to get into the lake. There is a ladder on the pontoon boat, but it also is very high - I am 5'7" and fit, and found it very difficult to get up. We had to lift the kids up and down with difficulty. 3\. Screen in the hot tub gazebo. Too steamy inside to keep windows closed, but the bugs at night were terrible. ##### Carol B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Joelene M.

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. ##### Joelene M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica C.

But the property owners were great at communication and went above and beyond to try to make their sailboat available for our stay. We appreciate it and look forward to a future stay. ##### Kirsten E.
