Really loved the location of this home for a visit to BSU, and furnishings were nice and comfortable. The issue for us was cleanliness as there were crumbs and debris from previous stays throughout the home. The daybed is fine for kids but not a good option for anyone over 5'6". Management was very communicative and is aware of the issues.

Very quaint house in a wonderful neighborhood. Close to all the amenities one would want, groceries, restaurants, parks, BSU campus, and more. Enjoyed our stay. The only drawback would be the large host fee and the expectation to take out trash, trash bins, run dish washer and washing machine before leaving. What is left for the cleaning crew to do?

Needs a few tweaks

Couches are terrible. Need replaced badly. Yard is super muddy with thin grass. Could only find one hand towel. Furnace is very loud and home seems to have no insulation so furnace runs a lot.

Great stay, location in Boise

Cute, clean house with everything we needed during our stay. Great location, quiet neighborhood. Communication with Julie was seamless and easy. Allowed pets! Overall great stay and would recommend.One suggestion would be to replace the sofa. It lacked support and was uncomfortable.

Great place, close to campus

Loved staying at this cute little house! Quiet street even though it was super close to campus-would be a great place if you're going to a BSU game as it's walking distance from the stadium. We had everything we needed and my dog enjoyed the back yard immensely. Communication was seamless and easy. Thanks so much!

Perfect Getaway Next to BSU

With our twins attending BSU, one living on and the other just off campus, we wanted to find something close to both. We enjoyed this cozy fully furnished home and its proximity within walking distance to both our kids. We found the home clean, warm and well organized. We were also very happy with quick replies to our ??s. We definitely will stay here again!

Cute, clean cottage home, convenient location with easy access to downtown and mountains. A few things that were interesting: the sofas definitely need replacing and the loud running furnace. It had snowed a lot and could t find a shovel.
