Wonderful experience!
Such a cool little bungalow! We needed a place for a long weekend visit in Boise, this home was perfect. The bungalow had absolutely everything we needed, and then some. We brought our little old pup and he enjoyed the small fenced yard and peace and quiet - and so did we. Great location close to everything, easy to get around. We'll be back for sure, thank you so much for letting us stay in your home.

Live-in ready in great location
My little dog and I had a great stay in this well appointed little cottage. Great use of space and everything has been thought of from extra bedding and throw blankets to toiletries, closet space with hangers, cleaning and laundry supplies and a well equipped kitchen including coffee and snacks. Jan even left poop bags and treats for the dog! The heater is a bit loud and I would have preferred a more secure locking system on the door. But overall, the pros outweigh the cons and I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay!!
My husband and I stayed at the cottage with our Lab, and it was perfect! Great location to eateries & bars nearby and a quick 5-10 minute drive to downtown. Boise State is also right around the corner. Their place was very clean, extremely functional for it’s size, and was so cute inside! Some perks of the cottage: The bed was super comfortable (huge bonus!), there’s a full kitchen with anything you may need for your own cooking, large shower/bathtub, and a great working washer & dryer. In addition to it being a wonderful home, the neighborhood itself is great for taking walks and was very quiet. Jan was incredibly helpful with the check in process and was quick to respond anytime there was a question. Overall, we would highly recommend their place to anyone looking to stay in Boise! Thanks for such a great stay 😊

This was a super tidy and comfortable place to stay for a long weekend. Very dog friendly set up with a small fenced in yard. A great location for walking dogs around and distance to food and drink.
