Checking out Boise? Our house is perfect for a vacation, visiting family or work trip to Boise. We would love to host you and introduce you to all the fun opportunities for outside activities and fantastic restaurants in the Treasure Valley.
We are located a short three block walk from the Boise Whitewater Park and Greenbelt, famous for biking or walking along the Boise River to restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Sit out on the patios of the wineries or restaurants along the path or check out more excitement watching them surf the waves at the Boise Whitewater Park. You can also SUP or kayak on the lazy river in Esther Simplot Park just across the bridge or float the Boise River for summer time fun! Only a 25 min bike ride to BSU! And we are 5 minutes from the quaint downtown and guests love to ride our provided bikes to get coffee at the laid back vibe of the Northend's quaint suburb.

Check us out on Instagram @boisewhitewatervilla and don't forget to tag us in all your fun vacation photos. And, let us make your stay even more memorable by discovering our selection of added conveniences locally sourced to enhance your stay at the Cottage. Details provided with your confirmed reservation but some of the options are a locally sourced charcuterie board, pre-stocked fridge and flower bouquet delivery are some of the add-on experiences you can book prior to your arrival.

Outdoors: You access the house through double french doors off the front porch with a self-check-in lockbox. Street parking is free and readily available. The driveway is reserved for our connected back Villa. If it is available on your arrival, you may unload there, but then please immediately move to the street parking in front of the Cottage. We have a ring doorbell and video camera. It is always on.

Entryway: Once inside the french doors, you will be in our entryway room that pays tribute to Boise attractions; featuring local guidebooks, a chalkboard listing guest's favorite spots and paddle board art welcoming you to the Boise Waterpark neighborhood. One more door and you pass through to the open living area of the house, decorated in mid-modern style. Plus two cruiser bikes with helmets, night lights, bike locks and bells are stored on the entry way porch to explore the many outdoor activities located on the Greenbelt, along the Boise River.

The open area space: Relax around the counter island with 4 tall stools so families can gather and chat, plus a table in the dining room seating 4. The cottage is fully equipped with all necessary utensils, basic supplies and condiments. We also feature locally sourced coffee from Push and Pour/tea and a coffee pot plus the latest model of the Duxtop Induction burners, which has become the gourmet chef’s preferred method of cooking. Enjoy the butcher block prep area and shelving for extra necessities. For those nights not eating out on the town, a microwave, a convection oven, toaster, & Ninja blender are also provided. More counter space over by the stainless-steel refrigerator holds the coffee and tea bar. Dishes for 6, including plates, bowls, mugs, wine glasses and placemats make it easy to eat at home. Plus, children's dinnerware provided for the little ones in your group. The fridge comes furnished with sparkling water and we offer an arrival treat for our guests.

The living room: Snug and cozy with a spacious feel, this room features a comfortable couch and a plush armchair for you to curl up in after a long day of exploring the Greenbelt. Hardwood flooring is softened with a jute-style rug and handy coffee table. A floor lamp provides overhead lighting options along with traditional ceiling lights. A 50-inch flat screen television to enjoy shows with your Netflix or Hulu subscription offers your evening entertainment. Grab a book off the bookshelf, curl up with one of the provided throws and enjoy the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.

Heating/air conditioning is provided by a ductless heater. For all your electronic surfing needs, we offer 1 GB per sec. fiber optic internet speed.

The bathroom: Features standard sink with mirror and counter magnifying mirror plus long cupboard to store your essentials from home and welcoming green foliage plants in the window. Hair dryer included. Shower over the bath with a rattan storage bin to hold all the extra fluffy towels plus over the toilet storage featuring items sometimes forgotten make the cottage your home away from home.

Master bedroom: Quiet and inviting, the nicely sized master features a closet with hangers enough for all your outfits, and a tri-fold twin bed plus pack n play for your kids/grandkids. Two end tables, one with a sound machine/diffuser with provided essential oils and the other stylishly appointed with knickknacks are on each side of the Nectar memory foam mattress king size bed. Piled high with pillows, it is perfect for diving into after your walk along the Greenbelt or mountain hike. Reading lamps are on each bed side wall. Your bedroom includes a full-length mirror, luggage rack and bohemian jute chair to sink into and de-stress. A mid-modern dresser has enough drawers to keep your clothes together for longer stays. A ductless heater/air conditioner and earthy tones in the artwork and décor all add to a warm, welcoming atmosphere. White wooden blinds block out light for the perfect night's sleep.

Upstairs bedroom: Behind the secret door to the right of the master bedroom are stairs with a railing leading to a charming loft-style bedroom. It features a Nectar memory foam queen mattress, multiple shelves, a closet with hangers and storage bins containing kids’ books and toys to occupy your little ones. Wooden shades also provide darkness in the room for a great night's sleep. Plus, heating and air conditioning is provided through our ductless system. Bohemian style end tables are on each side of the bed and also a sound machine/diffuser with provided essential oils. As they curl up with the comfy throw and lean back into the stack of pillows, your little ones or friends traveling with you will wake up feeling rested and refreshed for their day of exploring the nearby Waterpark or area's attractions.

Laundry Room: Off the back of the kitchen is our large laundry room featuring owner's closet plus cleaner's closet. A stackable washer/dryer is provided for laundry needs plus basic cleaning supplies including broom, dustpan, mop and snow shovel. An ironing board and iron are located in the pantry if you need to look nice for an event or get ready for work.

We are proud to offer a second property, a gorgeous 3 bedroom/3 bath home. (and a year round heated saltwater swimming pool with hot tub!) The Villa is located right behind the Cottage and can be connected to rent together for larger groups. You might see some of the same pictures with different pricing advertising that property. We ask guests to please keep the pantry door to cottage closed when the properties are not rented together so sound doesn't carry between both houses. Reach out to us regarding availability of the larger rental.

Please be aware that if you are bringing your pet, the cottage is not currently fenced. We do have a very quiet neighborhood for long walks with your furry family member on a leash.

Great location and perfect for what we needed
We were in town for a 3 day softball tournament so the location in relation to Willow Lane Softball Complex was perfect. The kids loved that the upstairs bedroom was their own little space and the downstairs bedroom was big enough to comfortably set up the play pen for the toddler to sleep in. They had a cute setup with dog treats and leashes as well as a nice dog water dish in the cupboard & dog blankets, our guy was cozy in the living room dog bed.

Relaxing
Cute cottage with lots of extra special touches. There was a stream next to the property that later we found to be man made! You could hear the peaceful stream as you slept. They had a massager, air filter, water filter, white noise machine, and bikes you could use to name a few. The beds were comfy and the home was situated in a quiet neighborhood. The owner promptly returned my calls and was friendly.

This property and its Owner was exactly what you would expect when looking for a VRBO. The house was spotless, check-in process was smooth, and any concerns are promptly addressed by Debbie and her crew. If you want the perfect spot to stay in Boise for a couple I wouldn’t hesitate to book. Thank you Debbie to you and your crew for a wonderful stay!!!!

The house is small and old, but it’s clean, the location is great, and there were a million little touches that made our stay so nice, including the bikes, the flowers, and the wine. The linens were nice and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed for a rental.

False advertising.
“Entire place” uses to mean you got the whole house now it means you have your own entrance. The bedroom window looks onto the other units patio, where there’s a pool and fire pit and it’s very loud. It’s a nice place but they don’t make it clear how not private it is.

Had a great time exploring the area. The house was a nice hub. Just one a few things would have made it perfect: a tiny bbq for the cottage and a lock to the door on the shared laundry room. But those are minor things. Overall we had a fabulous time and loved the cottage.
