The place is small, but we only needed space for the 2 of us and the dog. It had all the basics, and we appreciated the fenced-in yard.

This was a very comfortable place. Loved the notes all around. There was coffee and laundry detergent/dryer sheets, making it easy to clean up after floating on the river. TV streaming options were great as was the shower. Communication was easy with host. Great value for the price!

This house needs a lot of work! The bed and shower were great! The washer and dryer were also good. Ice maker worked well. The couch and TV were all good! The video game were a nice touch.The smoke detectors in the bedroom were missing. The steps out front are an accident waiting to happen. They’re loose! House needed a real general cleaning. The front door and sliding glass door on the carport side are very old and needing repair or replacement.

Great place, bigger than expected

Had a great stay here, two adults and two kids. They still have the pull out couch and the Murphy bed plus king bed in the bedroom so each kid had a bed. Great kitchen (although we were only here one full day and didn’t end up cooking) including a nice spice rack. 9 year old played with the ax throwing game. We walked to the park where there is a skate park, dog park, splash pad, and amazing giant playground. HVAC works great, we were here in February so needed heat. Will be back!

Boise was one of our longest stops while traveling. The cottage was much better than a hotel as we were traveling with a dog. We spent majority of our time visiting with family and friends not too far from the cottage. It was nice to come back and relax.

Pet Friendly

The place is a step back in time, with new flooring, We arrived after dark in a rainstorm and were glad to have shelter. We are not pet people, but I did not expect that much dog hair all over the house. We problem solved and used the pet friendly washer to get the dog hair out of our clothing, and the Robot floor cleaner to sweep the floors. The owners have been notified. I would have loved to give the place a perfect score. The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly to questions. It is more spacious than the pictures depict with good Wi-Fi. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible. Very Light traffic area. I would recommend the place to pet lovers.
