Cute little place
The house was great, up to date, and well stocked with everything. The neighborhood was a little louder than I anticipated, but wasn't too big of an issue after 9-10pm

Clean, cozy cottage, quiet and close to downtown
Super cute cottage that was clean, well-stocked, comfortable, close to downtown, yet quiet. Hosts were very communicative and seem to think of everything you might need when visiting. Kitchen is well-stocked with the basics and there are some toiletries and other things you might need in the bathroom. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area!

This Vrbo was one of the best Vrbo's I've ever stayed it. It was fully stocked with everything you might need. It was clean, and fully upgraded. There were chargers for devices all over the house which made my teenagers very happy. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals. The hosts were kind and helpful. I will totally stay here again!

Stayed here for a business trip in early July. Exactly what I expected. Great location, super close to downtown and Ann Morrison park, a great place for a run, walk, or float on the river. I will definitely stay again and I recommend! Jenifer and Bobby were fantastic and communicated extremely well. A+++ Hosts!

What a great space
I came over from Oregon to help my granddaughter move into her new apt. I brought a friend to help so we needed two bedrooms. This Gem was available and we were very surprised on the location, neighborhood and the home. The host was amazing and checked in just at the river time. They even had lots of basic food staples and offered up why always there. I made my granddaughter a come (cause it was there) and grilled some steaks. Everything needed to cook and they even had some sodas and juice in the fridge. Felt super safe and the living space was completely comfortable. Thanks for an amazing stay. I cannot wait to see if this place is available the next time we come see our granddaughter!

I only wish we could’ve stayed longer! The location was so convenient for the wedding we attended at the Depot and so close to everything we wanted to do. The house was perfect for the 3 of us, so comfortable and nicely appointed - even some little breakfast items so we could get out and about quickly in the mornings!

Perfect location for stress free stay
We really enjoyed staying at this property, the house was by far the best stocked property we've stayed in, anything you may have forgotten is already there. The neighborhood is clean and very quiet. Great location, just a few minutes from the airport, few minutes from downtown, although we had a rental car, if you are okay Ubering you would not need one. The hosts are very responsive to messages and were so accommodating when our flight was cancelled and we needed a longer stay. We would definitely stay here again if we ever end up in Boise again.

College Visit
My husband and I stayed here with our son for a college visit. We've stayed in a lot of VRBO's, and this was one of the best. The communication from Bobby and Jenifer from the start all the way to the end was fantastic. The house was well-stocked with thoughtful items to make it feel like home. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood that's within walking distance to BSU, a very short drive into Boise, and a very short drive to the airport. I highly recommend staying here, and should our son decide to go to BSU, we will most definitely be staying here again.

Perfect for us...
My wife and I enjoyed 5 days in Bobby and Jennifer's wonderful home. The location cannot be beat! Easy access to all that Boise has to offer. The home itself was immaculately clean and well stocked with everything needed for an enjoyable, low maintenance stay. Everything functioned well. The A/C was great on warm summer days. The kitchen setup is flawless. The bed was comfortable. TV/WiFi package was good. Communication throughout the process, beginning to end, was spot on. We have rented many vacation homes over the years, and this was one of the best. Should our travels ever bring us back to Boise, this is where we would want to stay!!
