About this property

Contemporary Log Guesthouse with Sauna: Historic North End - Perfect for Couples

The Wooden House is a spacious almost 900 square foot urban retreat in the heart of the North End. This getaway is a perfect balance of industrial and cozy warmth. Walk, scooter, or Uber to Hyde Park and downtown from this quiet hideaway. In the warmer months, open the bay door to let the outside in. When it’s cooler the radiant floor heat will keep your toes toasty and when it gets warmer, you can cool down with the a/c. If you want more heat, turn the sauna on and have a sweat. Extra large bedroom with comfortable queen bed and additional lounge space on 2nd floor. Please note that because we share the backyard space & we have a dog, we cannot accept bookings from those with service animals. We, for security reasons, have two outdoor cameras at each entry. We are designers…and this is a special place that we have put love & care into. It’s not a generic house managed by a big property management company. You’ll see like so many of our past guests. Looking forward to hosting you!

Under the Atlas

The property is beautiful and it was a delight to stay here. It was well designed and appointed nicely. Danielle, Derek and Veera were great hosts. It was quiet and felt like a little oasis in the middle of Boise. We loved the Sauna and the Atlas Cedar they provided a great deal of comfort.

Cozy Cabin

Comfortable log cabin tucked in an alley in a wonderful neighborhood. The cabin has great amenities. Owners decorated with eclectic detail. Short walking distance to Hyde Park 13th Street Shops. Awesome first time visit to Idaho!

Perfect base for Boise

We loved all the attention to detail and comfort. The bed, pillows and blankets are so comfortable. We were able to sleep well. The skylight above the bed was an added bonus. We also appreciated the extras (cold drinks in the fridge, beautiful coffee table, and the hammock swing for relaxing). We didn’t have time for the sauna but it looked wonderful.. The location is in a beautiful neighborhood and very private. It is a short pleasant walk to Hyde park with excellent restaurants, brewery, coffee shops and bakery. Also the hosts are very welcoming and helpful.

One piece of our Family Get Together

21st St. is part of the 'sweet spot' of Boise's North End, and close to parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and Hyde Park. As a family of artists, craftspeople, and builders, we took a tour of the cabin. We were all impressed! The personal touches Derek and Danielle have added to the cabin make a wonderful place to visit Boise!

Everything you want a VRBO to be

Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, great location. We were able to walk to Hyde Park every morning to get coffee and breakfast sandwiches and Uber rides to downtown and other points of interest were short and reasonably priced. The sauna is a great additional amenity.

First time stay with vrbo

We haven't any experience with this so not sure how to tell about our experience it was easy access and quiet neighborhood the place its self was not what we thought it would be so I think in fairness to the owner we dont want to leave a bad review because we didnt know what to expect it was not a cabin it was a converted garage that being said they definitely tryed to make it nice

Top Notch!

The owners absolutely made the best use of this space & every detail mattered to them. It was so nicely appointed, comfortable bed & pillows which is important to me as I have back problems, the sauna was awesome, everything was very cool looking & updated & you can tell they really thought out the space so well. Comfortable, inviting, great location, super clean, excellent property, we would stay again! - great shower pressure, neat hidden drain system - kitchen sink set up was very cool - sleeping under the ceiling windows with the big, beautiful tree outside felt like being in a tree house - decor & artwork were perfect for the space - appreciated they had coffee, tea, hot chocolate, breakfast bars, beer & sparkling flavored beverages in fridge, hair dryer, extra of all the little toiletry items you may forget & easy to find Really just perfection. Thank you for caring about your space & sharing!
