About this property
The Family Gathering Place
Come enjoy a stay at our family vacation home! We're just minutes from the airport, BSU and the charming downtown, or a short walk to the grocery store. We're located on a quiet street with lots of other families.
Upstairs there is a room with a queen bed and a room with two twins.
There's a stylish area for chatting, a TV and a dinner table that seats 8. There's coffee in the kitchen, cleaning supplies in the hall closet and doggie stuff in the mini closet by the front door. Outside you'll find more space for dining or relaxing and space for kids and dogs to play.
Downstairs you'll find a large family room with toys for small children and a big TV. The comfortable couch converts to a twin bed as well. A large laundry room is also downstairs for your convenience.
We trust you'll love it as much as we do!

About the host
Hosted by Sally Weltner
Originally from California, I've lived in Boise with my family for about 5 years. I enjoy gardening and singing as well as interior design. I really enjoy hosting because it's a great opportunity to meet interesting people and the income is a boost as well.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it's so conveniently located to downtown or the airport. The neighborhood is full of other young families and nice people. I also really like the mid century modern style of the homes in this area.
What makes this property unique
Most of the other short term rentals I found usually only had 2 or 3 bedrooms. This house has 4 bedrooms so it's more suitable for a family gathering place- hence the name. It's also got a nice big fenced in yard that makes it a great place for all kinds of family activities.
