Large Upscale House for 17 with Firepit in Star

Summary:
This house is made for large groups of up to 17 people. The spacious kitchen accommodates several cooks, and the dining table is for 10 people, with the option (and the chairs) to squeeze in 2 more. All beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses and pillows. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been completely remodeled with granite and tile. I bought this house in 2019 and have furnished it all new.
15 guests will have a real bed, 2 will have a queen size air mattress.

Guest Access:
You can use the house as well as the garage, as well as the backyard.

Family reunion

We had our family reunion here. We planned for 17 but only 7 people were able to attend. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and safe. The house was clean and well appointed. It’s close to grocery stores and shopping. We toured the College of Idaho Campus while we were there. We had a good time and everyone loved the place!

Roomy and Relaxing

It was everything that's posted and more There’s more beds than we needed, everyone was able to stretch out and entertain ( w/ 5 adult kids and friends stopping by). We were in town for my son’s Fire Academy Graduation. I like cooking big breakfast for all who’ll show up It was perfect (w/ the island, Kit table and Patio) It also has a roomy 3 car garage (if the weather doesn’t permit you to go out - my kids have lots of energy and the backyard was awesome We’ll be back

Family wedding

The house was perfect for our large family to stay together while being in the area to attend our youngest son’s wedding. Perfect set up for each family unit to have their own bedroom together, with plenty of bathrooms to shower and bathe young children. The kitchen and living room spaces were large and roomy to fit us all. The garage was spacious to accompany our loaded vehicles, coming from out of state with camping plans on the way home. Thank you again!

Celebrating a birthday with our Boise State student.

Family travel from Oregon to celebrate our daughter‘s birthday. She’s currently a Boise State College student, and we thought it would be fun to rent a house and spend some time with her in Idaho. It was everything we hoped it would be. The house was very clean, huge, comfortable. The house had all the amenities we needed for cooking, sleeping, relaxing. It was not a far drive from the airport and we will definitely stay here again. Thank you to Sam the host who stayed in touch with us and made us feel welcome..

Family Thanksgiving Celebration

It can be stressful cooking a Thanksgiving dinner in a kitchen you’re not used to, but this kitchen is well supplied and we had no issues cooking our dinner in this beautiful home. The fire was lit and the Christmas tree was sparkling. Our family was watching college football and the grandkids were playing. The house was spacious with comfortable mattresses and the bunk beds were a hit with the kids. It was definitely a lovely family get together in a beautiful home!

Great Property and nicely stocked!

I stayed here with a group of runners and chaperones for the Nike XC races. It was great! Plenty of room for the 10 of us and the house has all of the basics needed to cook and clean up several people. We appreciated the outside space, use of the BBQ and fire pit, as well as the quiet neighborhood and private setting. The house was clean. There were a few odd things we didn’t have the opportunity to mention to the managers. One of the TVs didn’t work and a few of the wall outlets. The water had a strong chlorine smell and taste but we are all used to well water so perhaps that is normal for some people. We ended up buying drinking water.The location was great, near shopping and restaurants.

Fantastic Stay

This home was cozy with plenty of space for all of us. It sits in a quiet little neighborhood and has a fantastic backyard. Yes, it's winter time, however, we enjoyed the fire pit and the covered back porch. There were plenty of dishes and all the pots/pans needed to cook our meals. Communication with the property management was stellar. We will stay here again.

Home away from home

My large extended family and I traveled to Boise to attend my son's graduation and wanted to maximize our time together. This beautiful house served as our comfortable home base for the trip. Comfortably slept 15, great layout, and wonderful backyard. Every interaction with Sam the host was great! She was extremely responsive, had thorough/clear communication, and even included a bunch of great restaurant recommendations. If I ever travel to the Boise area again with a large group, I will definitely stay here again!

Family Get Together

The home was perfict for our family get together. Home was clean, well furnished and conferrable for all. It matches the description in the listing - we were not disappointed at all. The kitchen had all the cooking and table ware needed; the living area downstares was great and the upstairs bedrooms awesome. we also enjoyed the backyard patio area. The owner, Sam communicated often and wanted to make sure we had everything needed for our 6 day stay. I highly recommend this rental home. Thank you Sam for everything.

Why they chose this property

We know how important family events are and want to offer a property that will accommodate family members who visit Star to attend a wedding, a family reunion, or a funeral. Furthermore, athletic teams and worker crews often need large houses as well. We are often told that if it wasn't for us, that competition, wedding, or family reunion simply would not have been attended as renting multiple hotel rooms or two or three houses is cost-prohibitive. We welcome your large group!
