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.

When booking the “Diamond House” guests have private access and are permitted to the entire house. 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.
