Comfortable house and convenient location
The house was very comfortable, providing everything we needed for a great visit. Located conveniently between airport and downtown, close to everything yet safely tucked into a private neighborhood. The best of everything in one place!

Christmas with family in Boise
Clean, comfortable, conveniently located! This worked just right for us to bring Christmas to our young adult daughter who couldn't travel home to be with us for the holiday. Love the proximity to Downtown, and since she lives on the Bench, this really was perfect for our needs.

Perfect place!
This is the cutest cottage. It’s in a perfect location with main attractions being 5–10 min away. The backyard was perfect when the kids were restless and needed time outside. Definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

Home away from home
Would stay here again in a heart beat. This home is very well set up. It has any and everything available to make your stay comfortable and convenient. Comfy furniture, throw blankets, toys, games, books of all sorts, City guides, maps, menus, plenty of towels. Patio in back with gas grill. Excellent location! You can walk to down town and the river walk.

Perfect little Gem in Boise
The house was outdated, but fitted our needs and was very close to BSU. If you are looking for a place to basically crash and accommodate 2-4 people Id recommend. Up until 2hrs before check in we hadn't had contact or received instructions from the host. After multiple emails and call we were able to square things away.

BSU Orientation Weekend
The house was really close to campus and made getting up and to each mornings check in really easy. House was perfect for us while getting our son used to campus and downtown. Clean space nice kitchen, really comfortable chair in the living room. It’s small but has everything you need. Washer/drier was a life saver after his rafting adventure.

Lovely home in great location.
Everything was wonderful here. Loved the location for visiting all Boise has to offer and the property itself is spot on. Clean and fully equipped. Found the twin beds in the second bedroom perfect as I prefer a firmer bed. Lovely little private backyard. A1 in all aspects.

Really enjoyed our stay here. We took advantage of the BBQ and had a lovely meal in the back yard and came at the perfect time when the roses were blooming. After being on the go for the day I loved how comfortable the living room furniture was. If in Boise we would definitely stay here again!

Great cottage! It was clean, comfortable and everything we needed for our three night stay was provided! Very pleasant experience!

Boise Getaway
I needed aplace for a one week visit with family in Boise - the cottage worked out great. Everthing is neat, clean, in working order, and pleasantly decorated. The gas grill was clutch for some barbeque! You won't go wrong with this cottage for small group / family.
