About this property
This is Boise's Gem!
Located just 1/2 mile southwest of BSU and the Morrison Center, Boise's Gem is perfectly situated for exploring Boise. Enjoy a short walk to several restaurants and a quick bike ride to the center of Boise's 25 mile long greenbelt. The home is close to the Historic Train Depot and downtown, offering convenience and charm.
Inside, you’ll find a super clean space with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Relax with a full cable package on the new 50" QLED smart TV with included Netflix (wires are now hidden in the wall). The quiet neighborhood ensures a peaceful stay, while central air conditioning keeps you comfortable during Boise’s hot summers.
With a private driveway and an electronic smart lock, you’ll have easy, secure access with each guest receiving your own code.

About the host
Hosted by Bobby
Getting to host so is such a privilege, and I strive to exceed your expectations. I've lived in Boise for over 15 years and recognize what a Jewel the Treasure Valley and the State of Idaho is. This is my only property, and I've been blessed to have the same housekeeper for over 7 years now.
Why they chose this property
As a returning student to BSU, I loved the proximity via bike from home to classes, and the ability to then bike from school to work downtown in mere minutes.
Grocery and convenience stores are super close to the home, yet the home is in a quiet neighborhood with only occasional foot and road traffic from neighbors.
Perfectly situated between the airport and downtown, The Gem is 1.4 miles to the center of downtown, and 2-1/2 miles to the airport. The historic train depot is two blocks away, and four of Boise's flagship parks are within a short biking distance (Ann Morrison, Julia Davis, and Kathryn Albertsons Park, as well as the 25-mile Boise Greenbelt).

What makes this property unique
The home was built in 1958 in the north end of town and moved to its current location in the summer of 2015.
All plumbing, wiring, and heating/cooling systems are brand new as are all windows, doors and appliances. Enjoy original, refinished hard wood floors throughout the living room, bedrooms and hall. The home also has a new roof and paint. It truly is a Gem!
The couch features reclining seats for binge watching the included Netflix and/or Dish cable entertainment package. The master bedroom has blackout shades, and all shades are double-cellular construction which better insulates the home.
The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with butter, oils, spices, an assortment of beverages, cereals and pancake mixes, and so much more, as well as sharp knives and new cookware.
Also included in the kitchen are pasta, rice’s, coffee, tea, etc. as well as an ice maker, dishwasher, garbage disposal and microwave. The bathroom is also stocked very well. You might only need your toothbrush.
