Amazing stay!
My family and I (4 adults and 1 toddler) stayed at this home for a quick weekend trip to catch a BSU game for my wife’s birthday! The house was perfect for our needs; it was spacious, clean, and in a great location to Boise State University. The Owner was incredibly responsive with instructions on how to check in/out or if I had questions about the house. There were labels/instructions around the house for various lights/fans which was super helpful. She also had recommendations for local spots and we grabbed dinner at Red Bench Pizza which was great! If you are traveling to Boise and looking for a vacation rental to stay in, I highly recommend staying here!

Great home, convenient location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very well equipped and maintained, and was less than a 10-minute Uber ride to anywhere we wanted to go. It was easy and convenient to communicate with the property manager and access to the property was secure and also easy with a keypad. Overall, great property and great stay! Highly recommended.

Perfectly located house with everything you need!
This house is wonderful - everything very well done inside, comfortable beds, nice kitchen and bathrooms, and a sweet grassy back yard with a nice place to sit. The kitchen has pretty much everything one might need with a beautiful large refrigerator. We were 3 couples in town for a large, last-minute gathering. If ever we need a place in Boise again we will definitely rent here again! Highly recommend - Mary is a fantastic host....maybe the most accomodating, responsive one we've ever dealt with :)

Perfect for a family of 4
We really enjoyed our stay at the Vistas property! The house is exactly as pictured. The property is very clean, nicely updated with a well stocked kitchen. I would recommend upgrading the pillows in the bedrooms for a better nights sleep but we did find the mattresses themselves to be very comfortable. We appreciated all the little extras like the welcome basket & shampoo, conditioner & body wash in the bathrooms and the Keurig machine with plenty of pods for morning coffee. Also, the laundry room had detergent, softener & stain remover which was a wonderful touch if doing laundry while your there is needed. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much & was perfect for our family of 4!
