About this property

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 additional seating for 2 at the kitchen counter. 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.
This house has a fantastic layout and I fell in love with it the second I walked in the door. I made an offer after just spending 20 minutes in the house! Its prime location (8 min from Eagle and 15 or 20 mins to Boise by car), coupled with a great open floor plan and fully fenced, large backyard made this house appealing to me right away.
I invested over $40K to bring this house up to much higher standards. It now has granite in all bathrooms as well as the kitchen, as well as easy-care flooring downstairs. We added a large pergola in spring 2022 for outside dining in the summer.
Since I am an avid traveler myself, I know what matters to guests: having a feeling of comfort when you walk in. Knowing everything is spic-and-span, even if you look under the beds. High-quality mattresses, pillows, and bedding. Beautiful décor. I hope you will love this house as much as I do! :-)
You can use the house as well as the garage, as well as the backyard.
I live in Boise, about 35 mins from this house. I prefer efficient, streamlined communication. Time is our most valuable resource. The best way to interact with me is via SMS/Text. I will respond within the hour.
The house is in a residential neighborhood and on a very quiet street.
You will definitely want to have a car.
This house is owned by Sam Wenzel, owner and operator of Boise Vacation Rentals LLC. As you know, a professional host who manages their own rentals is the best of both worlds: professional management coupled with the care only an owner can bring to a property.

The latest girthing of the Lindsay Clan, Star, Idaho

This home is centrally located in Treasure Valley near shopping, site seeing, skiing, hiking, biking, and many other attractions with in 20 mile radius. We enjoyed playing games, roasting marshmallows on the fire pit, while waiting for new year fire works.

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.

Great place to stay,

Loved the central location and the space of the layout. The beds were so comfortable, the backyard was a great space for children, and it really fit 3 married couples, four children and three single adults comfortably. Wonderful experience!!
