Short Thanksgiving visit with family

Everything was good, for the most part. Had some minor issues with the financial part, but it eventually got resolved. Owner did everything possible to make it all correct. House was nice and comfortable. Some issues with the TV, but it eventually got resolved. We were only allowed the toilet paper that was there….so we had to purchase our own to make it through the days we stayed there. That was kind of a bummer. Also, no hand soap for the kitchen, but it eventually got resolved and delivered. The heater had issues, and found out the filter had not been changed for a long time, but that got resolved with the filter replacement. No sponges in the kitchen, just a soap dispensing hand/dish sponge….that really needed to be thrown away with lots of use. Dryer and/or washer shook the whole house when on certain cycles. But….these issues really would not deter us from renting this place again! It was in a nice and safe area and, again, the owner was very quick to respond to any and all of our needs, for the most part! I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in a nice and quaint area in Boise, close to the old town area in Hyde Park and to the state capitol building and main part of the city!

North End Cottage

We loved our stay at North End cottage. The location was perfect for walking to Hyde Park and downtown. The house was very comfortable and well appointed, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils, though we only really made coffee and enjoyed walking everywhere. The back patio offers an outside space, tho is advertised as "exterior is elegantly landscaped." We found this not true but there is potential!

Everything was perfect for our party of 2. It was clean, very cute. We could easily walk but drove and downtown was very close. Parking was great and our place had everything we needed. It was nice having a filtered water and ice cube which oftentimes is not readily available so I like that. Great place and would recommend.

1938 cottage

We came to Boise to visit our daughter. We arrived a little early and asked for early check in and was offered early check in for a fee while the place was ready. I declined and waited till 3:00 check in time and couldn’t enter the house. My passcode would not work. It’s 100 degrees outside and attempted enter with several different codes given to us from management. Luckily the maintenance guy came buy and gave us his code to finally enter an hour later . We went to get ourselves ready to go out to dinner and there was only 1 towel. Called management for another towel and was offered extra towels the next day we had to run to rite aid down the street for extra towels. House needs a full length mirror and suitcase racks. The house gets crazy with smells from downstairs long term tenant when they cook. the house was very comfortable and accommodating other than that.

Noisy basement dweller and cheapskate linens

Beware! There is a strange guy who lives below the bedroom and bathroom of this cottage. He is loud with abrupt outbursts and the sound reverberates through the floor or the HVAC vents. It's pretty obnoxious. One night he carried on with a buddy ALL NIGHT LONG, thru to the morning. Who knows what they were doing (playing video games?), but it's not what we want to hear when we're on vacation. Owners: you should NOT be renting this cottage on VRBO as long as you have the downstairs tenant. Seriously not cool. A secondary issue was that the bed pillows were FLAT, the comforter was thin and the bathroom towels were a random assortment of scratchy white with some black nubs on some of them. Oh, and there were only FIVE hangers. C'mon owners, I think you can do better than this! And was there dish soap and sponge anywhere? If so, we couldn't find them. Was happy to leave!

Homey spot

Overall, was a wonderful little space. Cute and cozy. Quiet enough for location so close to major road. Sound and cooking smells from neighbors and feeling like my sound carried was biggest issue.” Minor” overlooked cleaning like dusty bathroom vent, underbed vacuuming, and dust buildup in a couple corners was all. For the price was Amazing compared to many properties! Thanks for relatively affordable great place to stay. !

Everything we needed

The owner set us up with all of the info we needed to make sure our stay was as smooth as one could ask for. We were close enough to downtown that we could walk (which we did almost every time), and there is plenty to do/eat within 1 mile of the house.

Beautiful cozy place, close to downtown!

Had a lovely stay here, nice and clean and even though the building is old (1930s), it’s nicely updated. The kitchen is nice - big French-door fridge, large sink, gas stove, both Keurig and regular coffee maker, and there’s a cute breakfast nook. The living room is comfy and has a nice big TV with all the streaming. One thing to note is that there aren’t a lot of electrical outlets (probably because of the age of the building), so just plan ahead with long charging cords if you like to use your devices while charging. And the bathroom is quite cozy so you’ll have to take turns getting ready haha… But that wasn’t a problem or anything, we very much enjoyed our stay here. Recommend for sure!

A comfy clean cottage

The cottage is a one minute walk to bus stop for a five minute ride to downtown. In the other direction it is just a 10 minute walk to the Hyde Park neighborhood for lots of eateries and coffee houses. The cottage is very clean, with an excellant heating system (outside temps were in the 20s), well appointed kitchen and comfortable sofa. Will stay again. Also, the property manager responded very quickly to a request we had during our stay.

So adorable but needs attention to some details.

Check-in was easy and the communication was great. What I did learn while communicating with the property manager is that someone lives below. (Which I found out the day I was arriving.) The description and everything I read before booking didn’t mention this. It wasn’t a huge deal honestly but I like when it is stated in and on the booking site. I have rented other homes that have tenants living below so that is not a problem. Just knowing upfront is nice. I like to have my kid and his girlfriend over so my husband and I can make them nice home cooked meals and play games on the evening. (It’s nice to have home cooked meals and family time when you’re in college away from home.) Without knowing ahead of time of the tenant, I was uneasy and didn’t have my kid over. This was something I could have shared with the manager if I would have known before hand. The floors are wood and creek and I did not want to disturb the tenant. The floors are thin, as I could here the tenant below cough etc.. Our tv turned on by itself and passcodes and names were moving about on it… we were thinking it was the tenant below and somehow his service could turn on the tv. Strange, very strange but no big deal. It looked and seemed very clean until I went to find an outlet - around and behind bed and nightstand was full of dust balls. The bathroom vent looks as though it has never been cleaned. The couch, living and dining area were very comfortable. Sadly the bed is extremely hard and uncomfortable. The pillows are very flat and hard. The mattress protector is a more plastic cover in which makes you sweat terribly. There was no breathing with the plastic cover and the nylon sheets. The bed and bedding I believe in general need an update. They did have an extra blanket in the living room and that was appreciated. They provided a few coffee pods and powder coffee mate for the morning which was a nice touch. The welcome card and bottle of water was a nice surprise when getting in that evening. The cottage itself is very aesthetically cute, adorable and pleasing to the eye. I can’t say I would stay here again but I think it could work really well for others!

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the North End neighborhood of Boise. The old homes, mature trees and quiet streets are too hard to resist. When we found this home, we instantly fell in love with it for all its charm and personality. We had looked at dozens of other homes, but this was clearly the one!

What makes this property unique

This home doesn't have to be hyped. It's unique charm and comfortable interior says it all. Even though the home was built in 1938, the complete remodel ensures that you will enjoy the old North End neighborhood in comfort and style. The exterior is also elegantly landscaped, brining an higher level of pleasure to all who stay here.
