Lake Side Guest House with Hot Tub

This beauty is named for its incredible sunrise view over Diamond Lake. It is our newest addition to the Blue Heron Retreat. Feel nature all around you when you step into this cozy space for two. Just outside your sliding door is a view from your private deck of Diamond Lake and only steps away is a courtyard with a hot tub. With over 200 footage of sandy beach, The Blue Heron Retreat allows you and your guests to splash, play and relax. Venture out further into the lake for fishing, kayaking, boating or catching the sunrise or sunset.

October through April our minimum stay is 2 nights with a maximum of 14. During our peak season, May through September, rentals are Friday to Friday. This allows the perfect amount of time for you to experience all that Blue Heron Retreat has to offer and for our cleaning services to be scheduled every Friday from 11am to 4pm.

Birthday Trip
We loved it here !! it was such a nice property, perfect for a couple ! The only miscommunication is that even though it only fits 2 overnight guests, you are not allowed to have any temporary company in the sunrise suite from what we understand. Next time we’ll be using it as a couples getaway !

We love our stay in the Sunset Suite at Blue Heron Retreat. The setting over the lake is beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and the kayaks, and maybe most of all just watching the sunrise over the lake. Everything was very clean and we loved the extra touches like fresh flowers and lavender. We came to the area to Ike the Dragon Trail and are thrilled to have found such a great place to stay. We will be back!

Perfect
Absolutely perfect spot for a nice quiet getaway. We picked this area because it’s not too far from Grand Rapids, but enough to see the beautiful night sky during the Perseid meteor shower! We even got to see the Milky Way with our own eyes, no telescope needed!

Just as we pictured, room was so cozy and we could tell it was a newer property. The views and the deck were picture perfect and even thought it rained all Friday, Saturday and Sunday we were able to enjoy the beauty and tranquility. We will definitely be back
