The Cottage is the best property we have found in Boise especially because we travel with our dog Millie and she loves the neighborhood and front porch for keeping an eye on everything. It is the perfect size for the three of us and John is so accommodating he left fresh flowers for us this time. The appointments are spot on as well.

Clean, comfortable, quiet, and charming in a walkable neighborhood: a perfect respite for our Christmas visit. It may be a little cramped for a family, but for a couple with a dog, or for a grown-up set of friends, who wish to be close to downtown or a stone's throw from the university, it's a genuine retreat. Our host was communicative and available, but we had no need to call upon him for anything as all our needs were met, and then some.

Comfy cottage, great location, dog friendly

Stayed with my wife, daughter, and dog. It’s within walking distance to concerts at the botanical gardens. Only two blocks from the Roosevelt Market - a nice spot for breakfast, coffee, beer, wine, etc. Just a few minutes drive to downtown or the river walk. The tree lined streets are great for walks.

A gem of East End

I reserved this property for my parents' use when they came to town for their grandson's graduation. They loved the remodel results and how nice the area is for daily walks. The homeowner, John, has done a wonderful job of setting the place up for guests and doesn't require guests to fulfill long lists of tasks before heading out. This house and its owner are truly Boise gems!

Bright and Cheery Cottage

We stayed 3 nights in this lovely cottage. It’s bright and cheery with lots of natural light. Spotlessly clean and nicely appointed. The neighborhood is quiet, with lots of people out walking. Just a few minutes drive from everything we came for. Also — our host was swell.
