About the host

Hi, I am Rob, I will be one of your contacts. I am here to help answer your questions and help make your stay wonderful. I truly want you to have a great time enjoying this cabin on Diamond lake. I think you will find it was a great choice to book your stay here.

Why they chose this property

Where do I start... Diamond Lake is a small lake on a chain of 3 lakes, well really 4 lakes but the fourth is about a two hour kayak paddle up the river. Diamond Lake is sandwiched between Hanging Kettle Lake, and Ripple Lake. You can access both of those lakes from Diamond Lake via a short distance through a river channel. The river that flows through Diamond Lake is the Ripple River. You could kayak the river all the way to the town of Aitkin and right into the Mississippi River if you wanted. The Aitkin area is full of different things to go and enjoy. Thousands of people flock to the area in search of whatever their heart desires, and they seem to find it up here. I'm confident you will too.

What makes this property unique

It's a great place to stay. Bring your imagination and make memories.
