The house was exactly as pictured! The backyard was beautiful, the kitchen was well equipped, and the house is very close to downtown. Loved that every room had its own bathroom. Would definitely go back again.

Thank you for your lovely review. We’re happy the home matched the photos and that you enjoyed the backyard, kitchen, and private bathrooms. We’d be glad to welcome you back.
Unique and historical. Loved the bathroom for every bedroom. Patios and multiple gathering spots inside were great. Super host .. very responsive and nice

Thank you for your kind words about the historic home, gathering areas, and host. We’re happy it worked so well for your large group!
Lovely, quirky, clean and charming. Several work colleagues and I visited Boise for a conference. Convenient location. Each room is a bit different but very private.

Thank you for staying with us during your conference. We’re glad you found the home clean, charming, and convenient for your colleagues.
It was a real treat to stay in this historic place. We were here for a wedding and having bedrooms with their own bathrooms was great! The common areas were large and accommodated our group well. Daniel was excellent in his communication with us. We are encountering more and more places that are automated check-ins at the precise time. I understand this is how the industry is going, but I do not like having to sit in a car until 4 pm, or not having the availability of dropping off luggage. Just my rant about the policies, not the house, it was fabulous.

Beautiful Home - Great for Groups!
The Boise Heritage House is a fantastic place for large groups. Lots of amenities, all the kitchen tools you need, beautiful history, and a nice ability to gather as a group while having private spaces, too. All this within just a few blocks of downtown Boise makes this property a rare gem.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Sept 2026
We’re so glad the home gave your group places to gather and private spaces to relax. Thank you for appreciating its history, amenities, and central location!
We stayed at the Boise Mansion with my in-laws to host a family reunion. Family stayed all over Boise, but we hosted most meals at the house and it was perfect. The house is such a fun mix of a 1920's replica mansion, open floor plan, and living museum. The kids had lots to explore, the living and entertaining spaces are fabulous, and the house was well equipped to host lots of family.

We’re delighted the home’s gathering spaces and kitchen worked well for your family reunion. Thank you for sharing your stay with us!
Great house for a large group. Beautifully decorated with lots of antiques live plants. Many areas to spread out and congregate. The house was clean, well-stocked, easy to check-in, and easy to contact someone with questions.

Thank you for sharing your wedding weekend. We’re happy the clean, well-stocked home and its many gathering spaces worked well for your group.
Great house with plenty of room for our group of 8. Comfortable beds and pillows. Many of the pans were dirty, some still had oil in them. But otherwise everything was great.

We’re glad your group had plenty of room and found the beds comfortable. We’re sorry the pans were not clean when you arrived, and we appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Thank you for staying with us.
This historic house was perfect for our group of 11. So close to downtown made it great to walk to restaurants and bars. I would have liked the beds to be more firm. Also, paper towels in the kitchen would have been nice. The patio was lovely in the evenings. We would stay again if we had a big group.

Central Boise Mansion review
Our family of 12 wanted a big house with central location for a family gathering in Boise. This house was perfect. Wonderful location with quick access to the lively downtown. We went to several local markets and restaurants that were great. The Boise Bike Park and Hiking park was an easy walk and a wonderful activity. We went to TopGolf and spent a full day at the Roaring Springs Waterpark. Boise weather was perfect. The house was great with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the piano and the large living room for family games and just being together. Our hostess was Christine and she was great. She responded quickly to a few questions we had and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend this house due to a lot of great features. Evolve Team was great. Will plan on staying here again.

Thank you for sharing your family’s visit. We’re delighted the bedrooms, living room, and central location gave everyone room to gather and enjoy Boise. We’d be happy to welcome you back.
Family flew in from New York City, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento. Each couple had their own room and en suite bathroom and we all enjoyed gathering together downstairs in the morning for coffee and late night chats before bed. Absolutely fabulous that was an event unto itself.

We’re honored the home was part of your family’s wedding weekend. We’re glad the private bathrooms and gathering spaces gave everyone room to reconnect.
The house was great - some of the rooms are smaller and the one bathroom was very tiny and one bathroom did not have a shower. But otherwise the house was great. The dishwasher broke but the staff was great about helping out and trying to fix it. They were also awesome about giving us a late checkout. Overall I would recommend this house it is a great location to downtown and a perfect place for a family reunion!
