About this property

Cheerful 2-bedroom Cottage

Have fun with the whole family at this fully remodeled cottage. Our home was built in 1935 but we updated it from top to bottom. All new furnishings throughout. The North End is known for charm, tree-lined streets in a safe and warm environment. Our home is protected front and back with fencing so the kids and dogs can enjoy it too! If you like that “cottage feel” you will love staying here. While you are our guest, enjoy the whole property. Parking is easy in front of our home as well as access from the alley. We offer a pack n play, toddler floor matress and Bumbo seat for little ones. We have Vivint Smart Home to keep our home safe. Cameras are on front doorbell and backyard view to the alley. All emergency services can be obtained on the Hub just inside our front door (police, fire, medical).

Charming Cottage

The location of the house is ideal. It is set in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood, full of charm. The home was exceptionally clean, and the yard was a perfect spot to enjoy time with our dog. We look forward to staying here again!

Quaint Home

This is a quaint home near downtown Boise. The neighborhood is very quiet which we loved. We enjoyed walks at the green belt, shopping and dinning. We will be staying there again if we go to Boise. Home was super clean and well stocked. Owner is easy to get a hold of if you need anything.

I love this property, it is beautiful, neighborhood and location is perfect. The dogs loved the back yard. The only set back was the downstairs bathroom, one of the reasons I picked this property was the second bathroom for my pregnant daughter not being able to use it was inconvenient. Good luck getting that fixed. Thank you so much for everything!

Beautiful Boise Bungalow

We had the pleasure of staying here for 7 nights as we visited our son in Boise! The home is beautifully-decorated and furnished and includes 2 BR and 2 baths along with a dining area, desk if you need to WFH, and a charming backyard with landscaping. The downstairs master suite was incredibly quiet and relaxing and the spa shower was an unexpected upgrade. Well appointed kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. In unit W/D was especially helpful after hiking on the nearby Boise Greenbelt. The home is walkable to Hyde Park, downtown Boise, and the Capitol. Check-in process was super easy and Marlene is a delightful host. We loved staying in this house so much that we’ve already booked our next stay!

Great base for exploring Boise

Fantastic home and accommodating and responsive host! Great use of space with the main suite at garden level. Spent a lot of time sitting in the front yard where we got to experience all the friendly neighbors walking by with their dogs. Brought our bikes, which made a quick ride to the Greenbelt and everywhere we wanted to go from there. Perfect home and location for a couple of friends to spend time together.

Great house in a great location

This vintage small bungalow has been nicely remodeled and furnished. I only used the upstairs bedroom, which has it's own mini-split for heat and AC, and two large windows looking out on the really nicely landscaped, fully fenced backyard. There is a separate, basement bedroom suite with a large flat panel TV, couch and it's own bath. The kitchen is well furnished and the dining-living room area is cozy. The location is outstanding! Convenient to dining, grocery shopping and short, beautiful drive up Harrison Ave to the extensive foothills trail system. The only shortcoming was a slightly confused checkin process and a message flurry five days before arrival, which should iron-out as the host gains experience.

About the host

Lots of parks to walk to, close to downtown and bike trails take you all over town and beyond. Going for a walk is a treat with all the historic charm. One block after another will pull you in with the unique homes, landscaping, and nature.

What makes this property unique

Everyone that has stayed with us simply say...charming, quaint, cozy and they feel right at home once they arrive! You can't ask for more than that.
