Almost everything I have to say about the accommodations are positive. The only negative thing was there was a slight incline on the floor that was very noticeable. We were there during the off-season so it was very quiet for a major lake in the area. The question would I say here again, "Oh, Yea"! ##### Ronald B.

We didn't end up staying there. Friday after we checked in, we tried to make dinner on the grill. It was so dirty all the old grease and food caught on fire burning our dinner. We had to knock cobwebs down everywhere just to have a place to sit or enter the door. We killed 5 spiders in the couple hours we were there. I understand it's woods, but I've stayed other places and there's never such an issue. The "beach" wasn't clean enough to be walking around on or trying to hangout at. The cabin was very musty smelling. We had to clean the filter from the air conditioner just to get some cool air. The dehumidifier needed emptied when we got there. I truly feel like there is no maintenance or care for the place to have people from all aspects of life come to retreat. I'm not high class I just like to be not be over run by bugs and small problems of neglect when I go out. I included the pictures of the grill fire ##### Rachel C. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcia G. Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Diamond Lake The property grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. The terraced yard was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We had our own private, lush, green lawn for them. There were various shared areas; a grotto (a tucked away cozy spot to watch the lake, play cards etc), comfortable fire pit area, relaxing hot tub (again with a great view of the lake). The lake was the ideal size for us to kayak and the property was situated on a desireable part of the lake with no lily pads, just beautiful sun rises. Diamond Lake is an overall quiet lake, just what we were looking for, with “no wake” restrictions at certain hours. Plenty of kayaks always available and a pontoon to rent (maybe next time 🙂) Our Eagles Nest cabin was as described. Cozy and comfortable with the deck overlooking the lake being the crown jewel. We spent most of our time here under the beautiful trees in the morning, and enjoying the sun in the afternoon. It the evening, when the landscaping lighting came on, the ambience was amazing! If I have to find a negative, and it wasn't for us but it was a surprise, there are a lot of steps, so just be prepared. The lower level had a slight musty smell, but once we turned on the dehumidifier it was gone. It was also not as clean as the main level. We took a day trip to Pentwater and Ludington one day, and at the owners recommendation to a nearby wildflower sanctuary. 👍The owners were above and beyond welcoming, and attentive and truly made our stay enjoyable. Will return! ##### Marcia G. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David T. May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not for everyone. But we loved it! The Eagles Nest at the Blue Heron Resort on Diamond Lake is not for everyone but we loved it. I say not for everybody in part because you need to take a series of stairs including nearly 30 steps to reach the cabin from the parking space provided. While we (both in our 70's) didn't have a problem, others may well prefer few stairs. The cabin is also not fancy or modern and has a few quirks including a noticeable slant towards the lake. But all that being said, the Eagle's Nest had everything we wanted and needed and more. It was clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. It was well equipped for the several meals we prepared and ate at the cottage. It had a nice hot tub right outside the door. It came with the free use of kayaks. It was quiet and peaceful (being there in May no doubt helped with that as there were only a few boats on the lake and no guests at the resort's other building which sits on a bluff overlooking the Eagle's Nest cabin). And finally, the views of the lake from both inside the cabin and especially from the attached deck were stunning and included some beautiful sunrises. We spent plenty of time just sitting, relaxing and looking....taking it all in....the beauty, the peace, the quiet....all from what is appropriately named the Eagle's Nest. ##### David T.

Lots of memories made and our kids were asking when we could come back and sad to leave. It was my husband and sons first time hunting too so the Eagles Nest will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Highly recommend this place and they communicated wonderfully.
