Great location - lovely home
We really enjoyed our stay in Boise. The home is spacious and well maintained. The owners were very helpful in answering our questions. Great appliances and room layouts. The huge master bedroom could, use some blackout shades for the summertime early and late sun and with children napping. The beds were all comfortable. We knew the out-building didn't have it's own bathroom, but that would have been a real bonus. The location was excellent and we loved the backyard.

If you want an extra special vacation, this is the home for you. Fabulous location, lovely décor, numerous amenities, and super clean. Tons of room to spread out and lots of places to store your items but have them close at hand. We have stayed in a lot of vacation homes and this is the first time we did not have to unpack our "just in case the kitchen does not have it" bag. This home is a fabulous choice for anyone and everyone!

Perfect Home, Location & Neighborhood
We loved everything about our stay at this property. Easy access for morning trail walks just out the backyard, lots of privacy, and plenty of space. Many extras available in the home for cooking, laundry, games and comfort. We loved the multiple sitting areas and the cleanliness. Close to downtown and BSU, easy route to airport. Close and attentive hosts. Thank you!

I have never stayed in a vrbo as well stocked as your home was. Everything we wanted was available. Do you plan at some point to put a bathroom in your guest house? That would have made it perfect. Your neighbor was very helpful when my phone number didn't work.

Terrific Boise Property
We stayed at this lovely house for BSU Parent’s Weekend. Although we didn’t have the time to fully enjoy all this beautiful home and area has to offer it was a great stay. This home is beautifully done and has everything you will need. We met one of the hosts and he was very nice and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. The beds were super comfortable. Large living room and comfy sectional to kick back and watch tv. The view out the back was awesome. The trail can be accessed right behind the property for a great bike ride or long walk. Would definitely stay at this property again.

This is a fabulous property to rent in Boise. The location is close to downtown in a very good neighborhood. The house is spacious with hiking, biking and walking paths accessible from the back yard. The house is well stocked with cooking and bedding supplies. The pictures are worth a 1,000 words.

Great Home in Boise close to downtown and BSU
The home is in a great location and is beautifully maintained. We loved the location and it worked out really well for our family of 7. Also, very close to Table Rock- which is a great hike. The owners are very responsive to any inquiries. The only thing I wish was different is that the casita that has 2 beds- doesn't have a bathroom. Overall not a huge deal, but would've made things a bit more convenient. We would definitely come back!
