This is a great house. Lots of room with a beautiful backyard, backing up to open space. Communication with the owner was easy and they live right next door. We had told them we were coming in late so they turned on some lights for us so we were not going into a dark house. It is a great location and it will be our Boise go o to from now on.

Great Area!

We were in Boise over the 4th of July weekend visiting family. We were lucky to find this house just a couple miles away. The house was clean, spacious and very nice! The house is close to golf, BSU, and downtown with easy access to the best of Boise. The hosts made it easy for us to check in and made themselves available if we needed anything. Highly recommend this property!

Large, lovely, well appointed home away from home.

This home is as described. A newly remodeled home in a family neighborhood and near plenty of things to keep you busy. A lovely trail system literally out the back gate and downtown a walk away (about a mile). The city itself is clean, well run and very walkable with plenty to do and see. Hosts Gary and Lynn live right next door and are very accommodating and have lots of useful information about the area. You can't go wrong staying at this property.

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!

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.
