About this property

Diamond House, cozy home in a park-like setting

Located 7 miles north from the airport ferry terminal, 10 miles north from downtown, and 5 miles from Knudson Cove and Clover Pass. This is a one queen bedroom one bathroom home. There are three couches, a queen pull-out couch, a small futon and a large couch in living room. Single cot and pack and play available upon request to accommodate 4/5 people if you want to squeeze. Smart TV with endless WiFi. Kitchenette has cooking utensils/equipment, coffee maker, microwave, rice cooker, hotplate, electric skillet, spices, oils, ect. No Stove. The “Diamond House” was built in the 80's by a local man named Mr. Diamond who was known for his smoked fish. Located only a few blocks from the water one can see filtered views of Tongass Narrows and Gravina Island. The “Diamond House” is surrounded by mature indigenous trees such as red cedar, western hemlock and Sitka spruce, which give the property its park-like feel. A truly relaxing and comfortable vibe waiting for you to experience.

Self-check in lockbox is located next to the front door.The house has a cozy cabin-like feel with its open floor plan and tall, open ceiling.

We had a lovely stay at Diamond House. The property was very comfortable and the hosts were warm and friendly. If you need quiet this is the place to stay. This place is outside the city limits and we were glad for that. The bed was uber comfortable and I appreciated the windows opening for fresh air (which you really can’t get at a hotel). Even though the kitchen is small the bathroom is full size. We loved staying here and will stay again when we visit again. We didnt miss room service!

Cozy Getaway

The location was beautiful and quiet. The house was perfect for two people. The owners were very good at communication. We had a little issue when the local power went out, but Jerrine was quick with her help. So there was no problem at all. We would definitely stay there again.

Comfy Cottagw

This one bedroom cottage was a great place to stay for the two of us! It was close to Clover Pass and Knudsen Cove and not far from town. Also a quiet, beautiful rural and scenic neighborhood which was a nice walk to Totem Bight. The hosts were so kind and helpful to attend to any of our needs. So happy we found this little nugget!!

Perfect location and property

The reason for our visit was taking advantage of fishing and long days on the water meant not a lot of time was spent at the property, however it is the type of property that’s easy to to enjoy if more time was spent on site. Super friendly hosts and very accommodating we will definitely book again !! Thank you !

We live/work on the water, in our free time we explore all the nooks and crannies of the seemingly infinite coastline with our dog Rainy.

Why they chose this property
