• • BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE• •

The Outpost is managed by Bespoke Properties, and that changes everything. As local hosts, our vision is to bring elevated consistency to every home we care for and guest we serve. We've built our brand on one principle: thoughtful stewardship. Every property we manage meets our standards for cleanliness, communication, and care—or it doesn't join our portfolio.

Every detail is considered. Every need anticipated.

What that means for you:
• Welcome snacks and beverages waiting when you walk in
• Premium essentials already stocked (Lavazza coffee, Tide detergent, Bounty paper towels—the good stuff)
• Custom digital guidebook with our favorite local restaurants, trail maps, ski tips, and house instructions
• Concierge support for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, or any celebration
• Spotless cleanliness (see our reviews—it's what guests mention first)
• 24/7 local availability—text us and we respond in minutes, not hours

We handle the details so you can focus on being present. That's the Bespoke difference.

Questions before you book? Message us.

Booking multiple properties for a larger group? Ask about our group discounts.

All of our properties utilize self check-in; access instructions are sent three days prior to arrival.
• •
CONCIERGE ADD-ONS
We want your stay to be completely carefree. Browse our Digital Guidebook Marketplace for concierge services: transportation arrangements, mid-stay cleaning, grocery delivery, and custom itinerary planning. Let us handle the details so you can focus on being present.
• •
PET POLICY
We know pets are family; The Outpost is FUR BABY FRIENDLY (one dog that must be registered at time of booking. Our pet fee is $50/pet/stay).
• •
PAPER GOODS
We provide enough paper towels (2 full rolls) and toilet paper (3 rolls per bathroom) to get your stay started. For larger groups or longer stays, add these to your grocery list—we want you stocked and comfortable.
• •
SUMMER CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
Our mountain town has a short summer season, which means a compressed window for construction. New homes and road work happen quickly between June and September. While we update listings when we're aware of neighboring projects, we don't always have advance notice. If you're booking during warm weather months, it's safe to assume some construction activity may be happening nearby. We have no control over neighboring sites or noise, and unfortunately cannot provide refunds due to construction. That said, we're always here—reach out with questions, concerns, or noise complaints and we'll do what we can to help.
• •
CANCELLATION POLICY
We don't make exceptions to the cancellation policy agreed to at booking—this maintains fairness for all guests. Please review your reservation's cancellation terms carefully before finalizing. Please note all refunds (other than stays booked on Airbnb) will be less any credit card processing fees. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind. Thanks for understanding.

• • RECOMMENDATIONS • •
*If you're flying into Boise International Airport, we recommend renting a vehicle directly from the airport.

*If you're traveling in winter or you plan to enjoy the many off-roading adventures available in Valley County, we HIGHLY recommend a 4WD vehicle.
