Great location for 4th of July

The house was great for us several couples to hangout and enjoy the 4th of July weekend. Awesome location 5 minutes to downtown and close to the park where we floated the river. Everything was as-advertised and working well. We could see fireworks from the backyard.

Wonderful Property

We couldn't have been more pleased with the Marshall Street Music Retreat! The property was lovely and very comfortable for our large family. The kitchen was well appointed, the bedrooms were large and beautifully decorated, the large completely-fenced back yard was perfect for the children and our dog, and the home in total was exactly what we had hoped for. We are already planning our return!

Great family home

This home suited our family perfectly as we were visiting our adult son who lives in Boise. We brought the grandparents with us, so we each had our own bedroom. The kitchen and backyard with bbq was perfect to prepare our family meals. One thing to note is the downstairs bedroom has tight and steep spiral stairs, in case you have any little ones or older folks staying with you, just something to note. Otherwise, it was a perfect house that also allowed us to bring our family pet for our visit with our son.
