Why they chose this property
Welcome to Diamond Lake, an all-sports lake where the water is spring-fed and crystal clear. It is the perfect location to get away. Immerse yourself in the history and tranquility of simpler times while still having access to modern amenities. If you are looking for a place to connect with nature and with those you love, come on over. The swimming, fishing, and water sports are exceptional, and the hot tub is ready for relaxing.
The Blue Heron Retreat has four rental units that all boast of their lake views, The Blue Heron Suite, Fisherman’s Cove, and Sunrise Suite are all attached to the main lodging. The Eagles Nest is a separate cabin overlooking the water. We have a number of amenities and common spaces on our property that are available for all guests, including kayaks, hot tubs, fire pit, multiple deck spaces (including our new Grotto), and more. We also have packages that can be purchased separately on our site for pontoon rentals, massage, and picnic kayak outings. For larger groups/retreats/reunions, you can request the rental of multiple spaces by going to: www.BlueHeronVacation.com
