Great Location

We loved Star, it was a super cute neighborhood with super cool stores to explore, it was like 30min from downtown Boise, but it didnt feel like a long drive at all! We were super happy with our stay.

Star Cottage

Very cozy and welcoming! Loved how it was decorated. The noise from the nearby road was a little loud. I will be waiting to see the update of the back yard. It would be nice to have a space away from the road to BBQ and hang out. Maybe the updated back yard will include an outdoor grill. The kitchen had most everything you could need. Except maybe a salt and pepper shaker. Loved the town and surrounding area. I would stay here again. :)

OK for a night

Cottage is cute but needs some fixing. Not very convenient to Boise or the airport (further than I thought) and on a very busy street. Door code had been changed and we weren’t told, but we reached the owner. Later found no hot water (pilot light is uncovered and blows out easily) but owner did come over to light it when I said I wasn’t comfortable doing it myself. Overall, an ok place for a night or two if it’s on your way somewhere else.

The Smell Will Kill You

Upon arrival at the property we opened the refrigerator and the rotten smell would knock you over. The refrigerator was rusted. Contacted Maria and she came over and said she couldn't smell anything. The smell worsened and we could not even use the refrigerator. Called her back again and she came over. We were out and came home late. We walked in and she had left the windows open and the door. House was freezing and still stinks. Walked by the water heater and she had torn off a piece of cardboard and stuck it in the pilot light hole! Good thing we saw it or we could have been in extreme danger. Contacted Maria again and she was mad we called her late but she left our possessions unsecured and our life in danger. She refused to acknowledge the situation and kept telling us there was no smell. Our little granddaughters even commented on how its stinky it was in the house. Now the smell has penetrated the rest of the house. There was no where for us to go. Maria would not help us and would not give us a refund for the stay. We had some friends come over and say how bad it smelled. We had planned on cooking for our granddaughters during our stay and we could not even put a bottle of water in the fridge. I have stayed with VRBO homes for a long time but never have I had a stay that was this bad and a host that was so disrespectful. Renter beware.

Cute little house!

We went to Idaho for a wedding . Easy access to the house, very clean, didn't realize we couldn't go in the back (we went out there once) read the house book the day after we got there.

Good Times in Star Idaho

This property is clean especially the floors and bedding. This is a must for me and I appreciate sleeping in a bed that does not feel like a hotel bed. I also appreciated that the house was located so close to the small downtown area. Initially I thought the house was in a neighborhood but it was actually part neighborhood and part main street. Though this may seem like a negative I appreciated that I could walk to a local food-n-stuff, gas station and bars and restaurants. My only request would be to have access to the back yard with a grill. With the front yard facing the main road it would be great to enjoy the calm backyard and grill out some dinner:)
