About this property

Beautifully updated. Convenient central Boise location

Beautiful, newly remodeled in great neighborhood. Ultra-modern vibe with hardwood floors in living area, new tile in the kitchen, granite countertops, 52-inch wall-mounted TV, modern gas range, dishwasher, off-street parking, just steps from large park with playground, 10 minutes to everything: downtown, fairgrounds, greenbelt, movies, great dining, two malls, 5 minutes to St. Alphonsus Hospital, only 2 minutes to the grocery store. Great for families, couples, and people coming to Boise for business or fun.

You'll be in a classy, secluded neighborhood in the middle of the city. It's basically an extended culdesac with no through traffic. There's a very nice park about thirty steps down a little path right next to the yard. And there's a stunning view of the foothills on your way in. Take a couple of folding chairs, a bottle of wine and marvel at the view.

This is a non-smoking residence. Please respect our home and our other guests by not smoking.

This is a non-smoking residence, although we allow smoking outside on the patio and in the breezeway.

Beautiful Duplex in great location

Beautiful property that is close to everything we needed to explore the area. We weren't aware that the property was a duplex and that the owners were right next door. However, you wouldn't know it. Very private. Property was fully furnished with all the creature comforts of home. Check in and check out process were easy. We would definitely stay here again.

Another great stay

My parents and I stayed here again and were just as comfortable as the last time. This home is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and feels quite spacious - at least for the 3 of us. We prepared and ate most of our meals here.

On safari in Boise

Late booking as our original stay discovered they'd double booked. Lovely well equipped, spotlessly clean bungalow with a African theme running through the house. Fortunately no stuffed animal trophies that we'd encountered earlier on this trip. Location is very quiet but supermarket and restaurants are not far away.

This duplex condo resides in a very quiet neighborhood adjacent to a lovely park. The home appears to be newly renovated and offered many amenities. The owner was very pleasant and we hope to return on our next visit to Boise.

5 Star Home

We were so pleased when we arrived at this beautiful VRBO home. It was beautifully decorated and had a very upscale kitchen and bathrooms. It had every amenity we could possibly want and then some. Steps away from a lovely park that we frequented daily. We definitely would love to stay here again when we come to Boise. A big thank you to our gracious host and hostess who were readily available if and when we needed them.

Perfect Rental!

We get to Boise once or twice a year to visit our grandchildren, and this was probably the best property we have stayed at in the last 10 years. The property is in a beautiful Neiborhood and is beautifully decorated and very well stocked. We wanted for nothing while staying here! This property will definitely be our top choice when visiting again.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Barbara Lane

Host profile image
Hi, My husband and I are retired. Actually, he's retired. He was an advertising copywriter and creative director and I owned my own women's clothing store in Boise. We love to read. I like mysteries, especially cozy mysteries. My husband likes thrillers and histories. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home because we saw the potential in it. It was built in 1972 by a prominent local auto dealer for his mother and her caretaker. Mom lived in one townhouse, the caretaker in the other one. It was very well built, but had not been updated in 45 years. So, we updated both sides, giving it a warm, African motif, which most guests seem to like.


What makes this property unique

We also love the neighborhood. It's upscale without being snooty about it with a stunning view of Boise's foothills on the way in. There's also no through traffic. So it's quiet. There's a nice neighborhood park just a few steps from the east boundary of our property with a playground, and tennis courts. PLEASE NOTE: This is a non-smoking residence. Please respect our home and our other guests by not smoking.
