Great stay

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful home and very cozy. The amount of movies, board games, cards, and puzzles was on another level. We all enjoyed ourselves very much.

Winter wonderland

My families and I had a great time staying at Black Diamond over Christmas Holiday this year. The house was cleaned and comfortable. I was a bit skeptical at first because it’s pet friendly place. However, we were not disappointed at all. The place just big enough and not breaking our budget. We got to play in the snow and witness the beauty of snow falling and white soft snow everywhere. The host Amanda was quick to respond to my question and request. This place is fully stocked with games, puzzles, movies etc.. plenty of pots and pans for cooking and silverwares for the family to use. My only regret is not staying one more night. Will definitely return again. Thank you Amanda for your accommodation and hosting us.

Great Stay!

I booked this rental for a few of our employees who had a project in the area. They had a great stay. The house was perfect for them. Amanda was the best communicator. We had no issues with our reservation or the house. It was a lovely place to stay for our employees.

Coming from the city there is nothing better then walking out to the backyard to see nothing but beautiful trees and green pastures. It’s really cool because we had a family of cows grazing the backyard it was a sight to see.
