Wonderful property!

Highly recommend this wonderful home. Beautiful property and landscaping. Plenty of dishes for cooking; and towels for swimming! The pool is excellent (the auto cover is very helpful and safe). Wonderful views of the mountains. Easy to get to Boise or other surrounding areas; including the airport. Plenty of parking onsite. Lovely grounds and landscaping. Please note that the hot tub including in the VBRO listing is not available--that was a bit of a disappointment. Make sure you are clear about the rules for guests. Check out process is easy; we went above and beyond to communicate our thanks for a wonderful stay.

40th Birthday Weekend

This property was absolutely amazing! The pool was the major attraction, but the home itself is just as wonderful. There are so many different sitting areas so that everyone could spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit one evening. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property, would definitely book this one again!

Family Grad weekend

Our family gathered from three states for Boise state grad weekend. We had booked another property that cancelled on us last minute, (due to a water leak), and Tammy was gracious about a last minute booking. The home was perfect for us to gather and spend time with grandparents and extended family. The home is beautiful and well equipped with anything you might need for a getaway. Only a short drive to downtown Boise or shopping in Meridian. We'd love to come back some time.

4 generations under one roof

Family trip for great geandmother to see her new great grandson. The home has plenty of room for everyone. Loved that all the bedrooms had their own bathroom, however the downstairs bath the hot water handle is broken no no hot water at all. The pool is great and my grandson loved swimming and playing on the playset. The house is close to a grocerystore and the express way. The house needs a few repairs but overall it was exactly what we needed for this trip.

Great house, great spacing, beautiful location

This house is so beautiful for a larger group with a private pool to utilize and share, it would be great if the hot tub was working, but that would just be a cherry on top. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom and there is so much space that it doesn't feel a large group is on top of one another. Our family loved the yard, pool and various areas of the house for coffee, conversation, dinners, and games. The cleaning crew and indoor plumbing could use some work but this property is great. You can't ask for a better space. We've been here before and would love to come back again.

flies and knick knacks

the layout of the house was great, the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms was really good. the kitchen and seating areas provided a lot of great space to spread out however there are so many knick knacks that it was overwhelming! So many that everything was really dusty and felt not clean. I know the description said the property was on a farm which I didn't think would bother me but there were so many flies outside we could hardly enjoy the patio and pool area. Literally thousands! We bought extra fly strips and fly swatters but there were so many we couldn't keep up on it and then it got pretty yucky to sit out there with the hundreds of dead flies on the ground that we did manage to kill. The only thing I can attribute that to is being that close to the farm animals. Boise is a beautiful city with lots of fun restaurants and shops so overall we had a great time.

What a FUN Staycation!

We decided to spend the week in town with the grandchildren while their parents were working and they were out of school. It was absolutely perfect. I read where there were spiders, etc. outside. Its outside and the summer. The pool was so fun and the added bonus was the amazing property with a playground inside the fence, chickens, and 2 goats. We did enjoy the hammocks, would have a lots more without the kids! Tons of books, games there and just so much fun. Thanks to the great host and hostess.

Disappointing

It was a house with a pool, which is what we wanted ultimately. That being said, it would have been nice to have not had to clean horizontal surfaces from dust and grime within the home, and dust and spiderwebs outside. The Master Bath water did not get hot after ten minutes, two other showers were clogged on day one. Obvious water damage in kitchen by refrigerator from a prior leak had hardwood cup and wave through kitchen and possibly caused the musky mildew smell that was evident upon us entering . Large house on the positive side

Great house and pool in Idaho!

We stayed in this home last week and had a great family vacation. It is very spacious, with an awesome living room/great room that was perfect for us. The pool was perfect, clean and there were plenty of chairs for the pool deck and plenty of chairs in the shade too. The house is located a a big piece of property. We enjoyed relaxing in the shade in the two hammocks, and looking at the stars late at night. This house was convenient for us, not too far from shopping and only 15 min to the airport . Tammy was great to work with. We’d be happy to stay here again if we are ever back in idaho. Thanks Tammy!

Great outdoor space

The outdoor space is large with a beautiful front lawn and the pool is great, nicely heated, our kids loved it. We did have to clean garbage out of fire pit, and clean off all outdoor furniture. The propane tank was empty, so host brought a new one over. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The family room is gigantic, so this was a nice area to hang out. Be aware their is only 1 king bed. The other beds are small. We had a wonderful time.

Friends weekend

6 of us rented this property for a golf trip in August. Planned on catching up and playing golf since we live in different states now. We all agree the house was perfect for everything we planned. Great location to the abundance of golf courses, swimming pool was perfect, fire pit was a great way to close out each day reminiscing on the old days. Even more on the expensive side it was every bit of worth it. We would return to Idaho to play golf and this would be a house we stay in. Thank you very much to the owners!

Great family vacation rental.

We were happy on arrival that the house was in a country setting with a large yard. As shown in the listing. The house was well equipped with all the essentials. Very roomy for all of us. With 100 degree temps the pool was a favorite. Any questions we had were responded to very quickly. That was appreciated. You really don’t have to leave the property but if you do it is located close to shopping, golf courses and restaurants.

Beautiful home, great location

We chose this home because it was a central location for our kids to bring the grandkids from Montana and for us to come from Washington. The house did not disappoint. It is large enough for everyone to be comfortable. There is a lot of decor that I was worried about with two kids under 5; however it was never an issue. The kids playroom downstairs was amazing. We all loved to play in the pool in the morning and night, it was just to hot during the day. The kids were a bit disappointed that the trampoline in the pictures was no longer there. We had a couple issues while there, the freezer would not stay latched so it would not work. This wasn’t a huge issue for us as there is a freezer drawer in the bar area which had plenty of room for what we needed. The a/c on the 3rd floor stopped working on the second day. Because we were dealing with temps between 108-115 the time we stayed this made the 3rd floor (where 3 of the bedrooms are) un-sleepable. We contacted the owner who was very responsive; however could not get someone to come look at it until the following evening( not her fault) So for 2 of our 4 nights spent at the home, 5 of us (4 adults one 16 year old) had to find a couch to sleep on on one of the lower floors. Thank goodness there were lots of choices. The owner did give us a small refund for the trouble; however paying almost $500 a night and not being able to use the majority of the bedrooms for half the booking i think a refund of one nights cost would have been more fair. Other than the A/C issue, the house was great.

**I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE RENTING**

First I want to mention the positives about this house and the property. It is truly a beautiful home and the property is stunning. The pictures don't do it justice. A little dusty inside and Freezer did not work but whatever I could get past that. The problem was that the day after arriving I got a message from the host saying that we could ONLY have 4 cars out front and ONLY 2 extra visitors during the day and she kept saying "event" no "events" and that's when I realized I am not getting my $300 deposit back, which I was fine with. I would have given them WAY more, to just not have contacted me at all and let me enjoy my time with people that I may never see again in this lifetime. This is a HUGE home with a MASSIVE property that is really perfect for family to come and visit during the day, part of the reason we rented it. My uncle was recently diagnosed with cancer and he only has a few months to live. We wanted a place where our family could come and visit him without him having to travel all around. Her contacting me put me under a TON of stress. It was 4th of July weekend and it's not like I could find another place for us last minute. on the 4th of July my family all came to the house to visit. This wasn't planned but at this point we were leaving the next day and I just couldn't control having ONLY 4 cars and people over. THEN the host showed up at the house with the owner. Saying that we have too many people and too many cars. They told to us that they are in the middle of a lawsuit with the neighbors because of their VRBO and I did genuinely feel badly for them. The host asked me if the house was ok, they had new guests coming the next day. SO WEIRD! I couldn't help but think there was some prejudgment going on. One of my cousins is a world renowned tattoo artist and has done a lot of my other cousins tattoos(all in their 40's with careers and families). Hence, there were a few tattooed people there. I own properties myself and have considered vacation rental property as well. I always make sure that everything is just as clean as when we entered the home when renting. I reassured them this and tried to continue on with our last evening though I was EXTREMLY stressed out. Time is the most valuable possession in life, and half of the time spent there I was STRESSED OUT. If they would have asked me for money for them to just leave me alone, I probably would have given them any amount they wanted.

This property was everything we could hope for. We came from out of town to visit out grandchildren and the house gave us enough space to spread out. We loved the "play things" provided for smaller kids, the books were great and the outside playground equipment gave us our own park without having to leave the property, The adults enjoyed all the different home areas, the fantastic kitchen and dining spaces.
