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.
