Awesome house in quiet and convenient neighborhood

Great layout for families and couples. Nice areas for eating and gathering. Kitchen was well stocked and even 1/2 & 1/2 & coffee provided! Front porch, back yard& grill were fantastic. Great family place. Would recommend.

Nice

The property was very nice, well stocked and clean. Plenty of room for our family of 6. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Fully fenced backyard, that my dogs and kids loved. The owner always answered my questions quickly which was appreciated. My biggest complaint was there were some last minute charges after we checked in that we weren't told about beforehand. Also there are cameras on site at the front door and in the backyard and the owner told us she was watching, so we were uncomfortable being outside. Overall, a very nice home. I would recommend it.

Overall it was great. Just wanted to let you know that the exhaust fan in the master is on its last leg. It takes about 5 minutes to get up to speed. Could be a fire hazard in the future. Other than that, really enjoyed the property.

Nice neighborhood

This house is cute and had plenty of room. The best part was the fully enclosed backyard for my big dog. The location is close to everything, but is tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood.

Master of Nursing Graduation

The property was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. We only had two concerns. The twin bed mattresses were uncomfortable - too thin. There was also a very sticky substance on the pantry door that we could not remove. The backyard was great for our puppy to run and play😊

Great little getaway!

Enjoyed the quiet back yard and well appointed home. We happened to have 2 adults with mobility issues. Everything was nice and wide open which made for easy moving with walkers and scooters. Communication with owner was great. Our only suggestion would be getting grab bars near the toilets because they are a little shorter than average toilets and are bit trickier to use with our party’s extra needs. Overall it was a wonderful property for our family reunion needs!

A Merry Christmas for 6 adults and a baby!

The property owner was very responsive to all my upfront questions and went over and above to help accommodate our 15 mo. granddaughter by providing a high chair and pack and play. The master bedroom was perfect as a little family suite. The walk in closet was even able to act as the sleeping room for the baby. The home was very clean, so nicely decorated, and cozy. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances, pots and pans, and even a food processor. The extra blankets provided in baskets were always being used for added coziness. We very comfortably survived an entire week with 6 adults plus a baby. The two family rooms really help there! I am a true princess and the pea sort - so no beds are perfect for me. But, the two queens were comfortable. The two twins are a little 'wobbly'.... so, my we put the mattresses on the floor to provide a little more firmness/stability. Slept great. The bathrooms were well outfitted and clean. Parking was available in the driveway and along the street. And a wonderful Christmas holiday was had by all. Thank you!!

Just Perfect

We were in Boise to visit friends and needed a ‘home base’ to rest, relax, and recharge. The property was outstanding: spotlessly clean, very well appointed, and located in a quiet neighborhood. Our host Mary was attentive without being intrusive, and checked in with us during the course of our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. The property exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended!

Just what we needed

We will definitely book this location again when coming through Boise. It is clean, quiet, and comfortable. EXACTLY what we needed for a difficult journey. We were traveling with our 91 year old father and he was able to be comfortable as well and get around easily. Thank you!
