Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Really nice place with a cool vibe Love all the decoration and back yard plants. Overall a great place to stay in Boise. ##### Nicholas P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy B. Jul 21, 2025 #### Boise Adventure This is a fabulous home. It was clean inside and out. The furnishings, including the beds are comfortable. The decor is extremely welcoming and fun! We had everything possible that we needed for kitchen equipment. I think we enjoyed the outside area the most. Plenty of lawn furniture and a huge table to dine at or play games. The flowers, trees and bushes in the yard were beautiful. Contact with the management company was quick and easy. The house is located within 15 minutes of everything in Boise and a few minutes from the airport. We would definitely stay again! ##### Judy B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin H. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great graduation stay We had a great stay and enjoyed the nearness to family and friends, the big open back yard, and the inside space complete with TV and lots of toys! Management came by one day and worked in the yard for 2+ hours which was too much, but they left once they figured out we did not want them there. ##### Justin H. Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy B. Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved this home. It was clean, well supplied with kitchen items, bath items too. The outside area was fabulous. Two tables to eat or play games at, plenty of chairs to relax in. The garden areas were beautiful. Our one disappointment was that there was absolutely, positively no ability to check in early. We wanted just 15 minutes early to stop and leave suitcases so we could pick up family at the airport. The answer was a very hard no. We managed to make 4:00 work, but 3:45 would have saved us lots of hassle. The home is close to the airport, shopping and restaurants. Make sure you visit the friendly staff at Elmer’s Restaurant! We hope to visit Boise again. ##### Judy B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee L. May 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### BSU Grad The house was perfect for a big family. The backyard has plenty of outdoor seating. The downstairs living room is spacious and has a large TV. The only downside is there isn’t a TV upstairs. ##### Renee L.

This house is the best, hands down. We were in Boise for a family emergency. There was plenty of room for everyone; tons of toys to keep the littles busy; kitchen had anything you might need; backyard was great-loaded with flowers, tomatoes, toys. ##### Hannah B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi B. Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful place for families and friends This place is well suited for those with little kids and adults. It is a little out of town but close enough to the freeway to navigate back into town. Eclectic and fun. Would stay there again. ##### Kristi B.
