    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!

    This cabin is very clean and the communication was excellent. This place would be fine for a weekend stay but we had an extended 3 week stay due to moving. It was a challenge with a tiny fridge, no stove or oven and a small kitchen sink. We were aware of this before booking it but our options were limited. It was bery convenient with our dogs and the neighborhood was great, I just dont feel like this is conducive for an extended stay. If we had to stay in Ketchikan again for a day or 2 we would definitely stay here again.

    We stayed 3 nights at the house. My Brother and I were on a fishing trip. Everything was great had what we needed. Fishing was slow the first day but great the second day.

    Really nice, small house. We were very glad we were away from the port area. It was quiet. We heard the many birds in the area. Lovely landscaped yard to enjoy during our visit. Very close to a wonderful state camp grounds were you can visit to enjoy the beach, eagles, and the totem poles.

    Amazing hosts with a perfect little spot that is all Alaska. I stayed March-May, Jerrine and Garrett went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to make me feel welcome and at home during a long work assignment.

    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.
