Well adorned

The townhome is updated and is just as pictures reflect. It was nice having garage access for snowboard gear. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and baking tools. There are 6 stools for dining at counters. The bunk bed is a double, so we brought a queen blowup bed and it worked great in the master walkin closet. the

A "Charming" Place

Our family of 4 stayed one spellbinding night at this cute house in Boise. The cupboard under the stairs and other decorative details were appreciated by our Harry Potter fans. The place was bright and welcoming, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were nice. We appreciated the RO water and wished we were staying long enough to use some of the sporting equipment in the garage. A more comfortable couch would have made our stay even more magical, but overall, it was a delightful place. Highly recommend for any witch, wizard, or Muggle family looking for a unique stay!

Tasteful Boise property

We were in Boise for lacrosse and this property was perfect for our needs. It is in a quiet neighborhood with a nice lawn yet still very conveniently located to all the parks and restaurants etc. The house is decorated very modern and quaint and is very clean. Colin was very quick to respond to any questions. I will definitely stay here again if the property is available

Fun Harry Potter-themed property

We stayed on Christmas Eve at this property. Our teenagers enjoyed the Harry Potter theme. The home is definitely dog-friendly. (We don't have dogs.) Hair on the couches showed that animals had certainly been on the property. The couches weren't super comfortable for just lounging. That's my only concern with the property.

Family Trip

After a 11 hour drive we checked into a home that was not cleaned from previous renters. Bedding was left on beds, floors not vacuumed or mopped. Bathrooms were dirty. I contacted the owner and informed him. He was quick to respond. I offered to do the laundry to ensure the bedding were cleaned properly. Nice home, top of the line appliances and mattresses. Just need to clean better and be better prepared for the next renter.

Magical place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The home is meticulously put together. Not only is the house beautiful, the beds and furniture are super comfortable, and the Harry Potter touches are adorable. There's even a drawer of HP-themed games in the kitchen! Everything was just so well thought out and every need was anticipated. Host was very responsive to communications. Can't recommend enough and would love to stay here again!

Great Location - Nice Communication

Location was a key for us and it was easy to get downtown by walking or biking, to the green belt and parks. Unfortunately the cleaners didn’t have time to finish before we got there so it was a bit untidy. Other than that the rooms are nice and big and everything we needed in the kitchen and the bath. The bikes are a great bonus and we used them a lot during our stay. Communication with the property manager was great and quick. We didn’t realize it was a Harry Potter themed listing but it was tastefully done and would be a big hit for kids or fans!
