Leave your vehicle behind and walk, scooter or Uber easily around town. If are arriving by air, the airport is a short 5 – 7 minute drive from the cottage. Winter skiing at Bogus Basin is only 45 minutes away and a visit to and from the mountain resort town of McCall is well within a day’s drive. If you are performing at the Morrison Center, this home is perfectly situated for you! Originally build in 1947, our place has been completely remodeled including the beautifully horticulturalist designed and maintained landscaping and large yard. Our three bedroom, two bathroom home can comfortably sleep 6 (or 7 if someone is up for the couch). All bedding and towels are brand new with luxurious comfort in mind. In fact, we completely remodeled the home specifically to place it on the short term rental market so the majority of the furnishings are brand new, as well. We are passionate about cooking so our recently remodeled kitchen is well appointed and even has spices and seasonings to get you started. The kitchen has a Keurig coffee maker and we provide some coffee to get you going. If you prefer to cook outside, the cottage also has a BBQ on its charming backyard patio. The house has two refrigerators and a small wine refrigerator so you will not run out of room and has both heading and air-conditioning. The house also has a washer and dryer and we include the detergent for your convenience. Once at the house, we have restaurant menus and literature to help you plan your stay. A supermarket, Starbucks and several restaurants are very close by adding to the convenience of our location. Further, we are located nearby and are always at your service for recommendations or assistance. When you travel, it can be difficult to find a home away from home that feels cozy and clean while affordable and convenient. Our cottage is all of that and more. Please call us and/or schedule your visit with us today. You will not be disappointed. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Snow sports gear - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93590000/93587100/93587096/93dbb389.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Prismatic Boise Retreat w/ Fenced Backyard!

The neighborhood was quiet, central location just a few minutes from downtown but felt like it’s off the beaten path. We couldn’t enjoy the backyard because it was too hot while we were in town but if you enjoy sitting outside you will also love the yard. Also there was amazing loaf of the best French bread waiting for us! I did eat that whole thing. It was an unexpected surprise :) This is a great cozy getaway. ##### Jami B.

Great location and the large backyard, patio and grill setup was perfect for our group of friends to enjoy our weekend. We were in Boise for a motorcycle show/event at the old state penitentiary so we did have a few extra friends come by and the neighbors were accepting and as far as I know did not complain about the bikes. This place had everything we needed and then some! Location is ideal also, grocery store right up the road and anything else you could need within minutes! The house is a great setup and even nicer than the photos show but the backyard (especially this time of year) is what really made the trip for us! Stretch out after the drive and yoga in the grass in mornings! Highly recommended!! ##### Kelly L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vhonda M.

It was unfortunate that the air conditioning in the house went out right before we arrived. Leland told us immediately and provided fans in each bedroom (as his AC repairman was not available for a few days). We stayed one night, but it was too warm.
