Everything was clean and the world traveler theme was fun! The kids enjoyed the game room and the extra bunks in the closet were great for our littles.

Thank you kindly for sharing your experience at Explorer. We’re so glad to hear the world traveler theme brought joy to your family and that the kids enjoyed the game room. It’s wonderful knowing the extra bunks were helpful for your little ones. We truly appreciate your thoughtful words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.
This is a nice home in Caldwell, ID. Centrally located with freeway access in a very quite and comfortable neighborhood. Good for a couple or family getaway.
The house is very clean and is well kept. The hosts are great to work with. Chek in and check out are very efficient. Definitely would stay here again.
The house was the perfect place for us to meet up with friends. Plenty of space, great location, and a quiet neighborhood. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
This property was just as advertised. Booking, check-in and check-out was easy. The place was very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. Great backyard for the dogs. Overall a great stay. We will stay there again next time.
Property was in a great neighborhood with easy freeway access. Very clean and nicely maintained house. Communication with property managers was easy and timely. Thanks for a great stay!
Friendly and professional hosts, communicative, with easy check-in and check-out process. Home was spacious and clean, had three bedrooms and the ability to sleep more with built-in kids’ bunks in one bedroom, a sleeper sofa in the living room, and an extra cot and mattresses available. Beds were comfortably soft and we slept well. Backyard is fenced but not particularly private. There’s a neighborhood green space just around the corner, good for taking your pup for a walk. It was a pleasant stay and a reasonable price for what you get. We’d come back again!

We appreciate your kind words about our communication and check‑in process, and we’re glad the fenced yard and nearby green space were helpful for your pup. Your note about privacy is valuable, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue improving. It means a lot that you found the stay pleasant and reasonably priced, and we’d be honored to welcome you back again anytime, Jeffrey!
This property was perfect for us for a short weekend trip. The house had plenty of room for us, it was clean, decorated adorably and fully stock kitchen. Our communication with our host was easy and I'm only giving 4 out of 5 for check in just bc there was no email on check in code & info. Other than that, we loved staying at their house & will recommend friends and family to stay.
The home was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, the furnishings were very nice and everything was amazing! We loved having the extra room that a home provides, even if it was just my husband and myself. The owners were also VERY good at communicating all of the information about the home, and even checked in with us via e-mail to make sure everything was going well and see if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Thank you for the opportunity to rest in the comfort of a three bedroom home. It gave us all the space we needed to get a perfect night sleep. Thank you for being so helpful and accommodating.
A seamless experience from start to finish. The house, backyard and game room had everything needed for all our age groups and pet. Everything was well stocked and truly home away from home! Only regret was that we didn’t have more days in our schedule to spend there! We’ve had the opportunity to stay at many rentals and this was in the top 10!
Spent a few days with our college aged daughter and it was great. House is spacious and has all the basics that you need. Even though we don’t have small children, it would be great for that. Beds were comfortable, newer appliances, and great location close to town. The only down fall is that it didn’t have a grill which I think it would be awesome but otherwise very clean and we had great communication with the property owners. We definitely will stay again.
This house was an exceptional rental. Extremely clean, well stocked, and really comfortable. The only funky thing is that the 2nd sleeper sofa is in the garage, albeit a very comfortable and clean garage. The small heater they had fended off the 10 degree outside temp enough that the guys could sleep out there. There's lots of floor space, cots, sleeping bags, etc provided at the house if that's not your thing.
Been working and traveling and this is absolutely one of my most favorite places I've ever stayed. The decor is amazing, beds are super comfortable, great kitchen, and super cozy. Would definitely stay there again.
Hi there! We are Bryce and Callie and were excited to host you! It all started in 2012 when we bought our first home, then we became famous! Nah, not really. BUT our first home, "The Sensible Safari" was featured on HGTV House Hunters when we were newly married. I think Bryce was hooked on homes after that. We've since moved 7 times in the last 9 years and built up our experience as home owners, DIY-ers, property managers, parents, landlords, and now short term rental managers. All along the way moving with us our Alaskan Malamute and growing family. We’re passionate about our homes because we’ve lived in most of them and have created memories with our friends and families. We know what we like in a home and what we would need when we're traveling away from home. We’re excited to pass on memory making opportunities with you in the homes that we are able to share!
