Diamond House, cozy home in a park-like setting

Garret and I are excited to share our space with you. Being that we are new to hosting, we’d greatly appreciate any reviews or feedback on how we can improve your stay.

The “Diamond House” was built by Mr. Diamond in the early 80s. He was known for his smoked fish and his smoke houses still exist on the property today. 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.

SPACE
When booking the “Diamond House” guests have private access and are permitted to the entire house. The key can be found in a lockbox next to the front door. The house has a cozy cabin-like feel with its open floor plan and tall, open ceiling. This is a one bedroom, one bathroom home with a open concept kitchen and living space. The home features hardwood floors throughout the house. Guests are welcomed and encouraged to make meals. There is NO STOVE in the kitchenette, however the house is well equipped with all the necessary kitchen gadgets, including an electric skillet, gas grill outside, mini fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, basic utensil, plates, bowls, cups/mugs, salt/pepper and cooking oil. Guest will also have access to a 7.5 cubic foot freezer, for storing your Alaskan home pack, located outside in the carport. Guests are welcome to use the covered breezeway and porch area that are shared between the guest house and the owners home. Use of the fire pit, located on the edge of the property, is also permitted. Firewood will be provided. A folding cot is available upon request to accommodate 4/5 people if you wanna squeeze.


GUEST ACCESS
Guess have access to the entire home by a key located in the lockbox. There is ample parking within the property to park cars, trucks, and RV’s. Boats/trailers are allowed but upon approval only. Guests are welcomed to use the covered porch next to the house. Firewood will be provided for the fire pit for those cool clear nights. The owners live in a separate house on the property with their dog, Rainy.


A binder with “things to do” in the area will be provided along with brochures, hiking info, pertinent phone numbers, dining info and other recommendations. I’d be happy to try and answer any questions you may have about the area or what to expect prior to or during your stay. We are available by phone and email.

Our place is best accessed by car, taxi or bus. The bus line is located just down the hill 2 blocks away.

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.

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 !
