One of the Best Ever
This little gem of a house was quite possibly the cleanest, most well-stocked house we've ever stayed in. The hosts must enjoy anticipating every need a guest could have. The hosts were also very friendly and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were super easy. The house is located close to most of Boise's best attractions. And though it's off a busy street, it was quite quiet. We will definitely stay there again.

A friend of ours stayed for 7 days, and then extended for another 3. The hosts were accommodating and responsive. The home was lovely, with a lot of small extras ie fresh flowers, drinks, etc. The location is close to all things Boise. I would highly recommend!

Super cute cottage that was clean, well-stocked, comfortable, close to downtown, yet quiet. Hosts were very communicative and seem to think of everything you might need when visiting. Kitchen is well-stocked with the basics and there are some toiletries and other things you might need in the bathroom. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area!
