Awesome space for our family reunion. Check in was just as instructed (and very easy), pool time was enjoyed by some while the chairs and loungers was those not in the pool was plentiful to visit. Kitchen had every appliance and tool you could think of, and the separate bar area helped space out to many in the kitchen/cooking zone.
We stayed here for a week to spend time with family that lives in Boise. This house was perfect and the owners were very accommodating. We asked for the pool to be cleaned the first day we used it and it was cleaned for us by the next day. We loved that each room has its own bathroom and the space was great. Would love to stay again in the future if we are able to.
We were there for a 16U baseball tournament, the location was 15-20 minutes away from the 4 high schools we played at. The house was perfect size for our group, it was stocked with everything we needed and the pool was an amazing blessing. By far the nicest house we've stayed at.

Thank you for your kind review. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime.
Second time we stayed at this house for our annual golf trip and it still doesn't disappoint. Close to everything and still quiet and secluded at night. Best place to stay while in Boise.
We had a great time at this property. It is fully stocked and has a beautiful layout. Ideal for families with plenty of space for everyone. Very easy to communicate with owner! We spent hours in the pool , total highlight for us.
This vacay home is amazing. The house has everything you will need, especially the kitchen equipment
I would highly recommend this property. Vince was so accommodating. This property is worth every penny!
Thank you all so much. You made our trip so spectacular.🦅🇺🇸

We are so glad you enjoyed you're stay & we are always happy to help.
This property was absolutely amazing! The pool was the major attraction, but the home itself is just as wonderful. There are so many different sitting areas so that everyone could spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit one evening. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property, would definitely book this one again!
We booked this VRBO for friends visiting from out of town for our wedding and it was PERFECT! The home is so beautiful, spacious, and very well stocked with dishes for a group or if entertaining. We booked the additional "event" fee at this property and it was perfect for that as well. We took formal-ish wedding photos on site and the property could not have been more beautiful for this purpose- both inside and out. The host communicated everything with me clearly and in a timely manner and was an big help the day we had a larger group on site. There's ample parking for guests and the pool is fantastic. I seriously can't recommend this listing enough!
Everything we expected and more..beautiful Large comfortable home..Beds..bedding..pillows high quality..stocked coffee bar..tons of towells..kitchen assesories..Move in ready..Temperature of home set perfectly with the heat..The pool and outdoor area was amazing..only a few snags..freezer was broke..but found out later was a small one in bar area..and remote controls to tvs missing batteries..we just moved them around..Overall was perfect weekend..would definitely stay again!!
Our family gathered from three states for Boise state grad weekend. We had booked another property that cancelled on us last minute, (due to a water leak), and Tammy was gracious about a last minute booking. The home was perfect for us to gather and spend time with grandparents and extended family. The home is beautiful and well equipped with anything you might need for a getaway. Only a short drive to downtown Boise or shopping in Meridian. We'd love to come back some time.
Family trip for great geandmother to see her new great grandson. The home has plenty of room for everyone. Loved that all the bedrooms had their own bathroom, however the downstairs bath the hot water handle is broken no no hot water at all. The pool is great and my grandson loved swimming and playing on the playset. The house is close to a grocerystore and the express way. The house needs a few repairs but overall it was exactly what we needed for this trip.
This house is so beautiful for a larger group with a private pool to utilize and share, it would be great if the hot tub was working, but that would just be a cherry on top. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom and there is so much space that it doesn't feel a large group is on top of one another. Our family loved the yard, pool and various areas of the house for coffee, conversation, dinners, and games. The cleaning crew and indoor plumbing could use some work but this property is great. You can't ask for a better space. We've been here before and would love to come back again.
Highly recommend this wonderful home. Beautiful property and landscaping. Plenty of dishes for cooking; and towels for swimming! The pool is excellent (the auto cover is very helpful and safe). Wonderful views of the mountains. Easy to get to Boise or other surrounding areas; including the airport. Plenty of parking onsite. Lovely grounds and landscaping. Please note that the hot tub including in the VBRO listing is not available--that was a bit of a disappointment. Make sure you are clear about the rules for guests. Check out process is easy; we went above and beyond to communicate our thanks for a wonderful stay.
The Great Room was GREAT!! Our family really enjoyed the ability to be together without being crowded!! The bed arrangement should be considered - all beds in the bedrooms should be queen or larger. There was NO closet space, NO hangers - we were unable to hang up any of our dress clothing. We appreciated the larger refrigerator - but part of it didn't work so had food spoil. (The owner did come to repair in a timely manner!) We never did figure out the one oven - baked a turkey and half of it cooked and half of it was raw!???! Loved the hot tub!!! It would be SUPER property in the summer to enjoy the large yard, play equipment and pool!!

flies and knick knacks
the layout of the house was great, the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms was really good. the kitchen and seating areas provided a lot of great space to spread out however there are so many knick knacks that it was overwhelming! So many that everything was really dusty and felt not clean. I know the description said the property was on a farm which I didn't think would bother me but there were so many flies outside we could hardly enjoy the patio and pool area. Literally thousands! We bought extra fly strips and fly swatters but there were so many we couldn't keep up on it and then it got pretty yucky to sit out there with the hundreds of dead flies on the ground that we did manage to kill. The only thing I can attribute that to is being that close to the farm animals. Boise is a beautiful city with lots of fun restaurants and shops so overall we had a great time.

Yes we are in the country. It is part of the appeal of the home but with that we do get wildlife & insects. Sorry you had a hard time with that. We have recently added an auto spayer in the back area for additional fly control. Thank you for your feedback.
We decided to spend the week in town with the grandchildren while their parents were working and they were out of school. It was absolutely perfect. I read where there were spiders, etc. outside. Its outside and the summer. The pool was so fun and the added bonus was the amazing property with a playground inside the fence, chickens, and 2 goats. We did enjoy the hammocks, would have a lots more without the kids! Tons of books, games there and just so much fun. Thanks to the great host and hostess.

Disappointing
It was a house with a pool, which is what we wanted ultimately. That being said, it would have been nice to have not had to clean horizontal surfaces from dust and grime within the home, and dust and spiderwebs outside.
The Master Bath water did not get hot after ten minutes, two other showers were clogged on day one.
Obvious water damage in kitchen by refrigerator from a prior leak had hardwood cup and wave through kitchen and possibly caused the musky mildew smell that was evident upon us entering .
Large house on the positive side
We stayed in this home last week and had a great family vacation. It is very spacious, with an awesome living room/great room that was perfect for us. The pool was perfect, clean and there were plenty of chairs for the pool deck and plenty of chairs in the shade too.
The house is located a a big piece of property. We enjoyed relaxing in the shade in the two hammocks, and looking at the stars late at night.
This house was convenient for us, not too far from shopping and only 15 min to the airport .
Tammy was great to work with. We’d be happy to stay here again if we are ever back in idaho. Thanks Tammy!
Great property, lots to do if you're creative and like the outdoors, had an enjoyable family vacation and will definitely be back!

Great outdoor space
The outdoor space is large with a beautiful front lawn and the pool is great, nicely heated, our kids loved it. We did have to clean garbage out of fire pit, and clean off all outdoor furniture. The propane tank was empty, so host brought a new one over. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The family room is gigantic, so this was a nice area to hang out.
Be aware their is only 1 king bed. The other beds are small. We had a wonderful time.
