Cute comfy home

This was a cute little place to stay for weekend with family!! The neighborhood is super cute and quiet. Close to everything in the city as well. The backyard is huge and I wish it wouldn’t have snowed all weekend so we could have hung out a little out there. There’s always a next time! I would recommend this place if you need a little her away.

Worry Free Stay

Our time in this rental made us feel really "at home."Info before check-in was timely and all was in working order and clean inside the house.Amy was available if we needed help, but we really did not need anything during our 3 week stay.The yard was great for our small dog, as well as the quiet neighborhood for walks.We were able to cook many of our meals, and Albertson's is only 4-5 blocks away !Thank you Amy for sharing your cute home, we definitely will want to stay again when we are in Boise.

Thanksgiving get away

My husband and I rented this property for a thanksgiving visit with our daughter and granddaughter. The property was beautiful and the yard was fenced and perfect for our dog. The property has everything we needed for our thanksgiving celebration with our family. We will be using it if available every time we visit family in Boise.

Cute bungalow

Had everything we needed. Could have been cleaner, stain on mattress pad, lots of areas that need cleaned better. Wish the L shaped sofa would have been there as pictured, it was a small leather sofa that you couldn't lay down on.

Best First VRBO Experience

A wonderful property in a very nice and convenient neighborhood. It felt like home. Very safe for older women visiting family in Boise. I want to always stay here if I get to come back. Will also highly recommend to family and friends. So much nicer than a cold hotel. Host immediately responded to any communication I sent before and during my stay.

Perfect!

I traveled to Boise to spend a weekend with family that lives there and this house was perfect! The location is great and easily accessible. The backyard was perfect for my dog and for family time outside. Next time we go to visit I will definitely be seeing if this place has an opening!

Boise Bungalow

This is a nice cottage in a quiet clean neighborhood. I believe it was built in the 50s and has nice character. It’s nice to sit in the backyard and watch squirrels. Close to restaurants, recreation, and coffee. I recommend staying here your next trip.

Charming home in the heart of it all

Really enjoyed our stay at Amy's property. The home is a small 2 bedroom. Super cozy. Great backyard with lots of crickets and squirrels. The neighborhood is something out of a movie. So quiet and has a great vibe. Just blocks away from grocery shopping and lots of food options. There are bikes in the garage, which is such a nice bonus. Loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Born & raised in Boise, ID and specifically South East Boise, I have a passion for the area and amenities. I've been in Real Estate for over 20 years and love updating older homes in great locations!

Why they chose this property

SE Boise is the BEST location in town. Close to downtown, the Boise River & Greenbelt, Foothills, shopping, airport and more. We fell in love with this little SE pocket. No one would know about this street, there are only a handful of homes on it.

From fall BSU Football tailgating, to year round out door access to the Boise Greenbelt trails & Foothills, there is something for everyone.
