If you want an extra special vacation, this is the home for you. Fabulous location, lovely décor, numerous amenities, and super clean. Tons of room to spread out and lots of places to store your items but have them close at hand. We have stayed in a lot of vacation homes and this is the first time we did not have to unpack our "just in case the kitchen does not have it" bag. This home is a fabulous choice for anyone and everyone!

We loved everything about our stay at this property. Easy access for morning trail walks just out the backyard, lots of privacy, and plenty of space. Many extras available in the home for cooking, laundry, games and comfort. We loved the multiple sitting areas and the cleanliness. Close to downtown and BSU, easy route to airport. Close and attentive hosts. Thank you!

This is a fabulous property to rent in Boise. The location is close to downtown in a very good neighborhood. The house is spacious with hiking, biking and walking paths accessible from the back yard. The house is well stocked with cooking and bedding supplies. The pictures are worth a 1,000 words.

I have never stayed in a vrbo as well stocked as your home was. Everything we wanted was available. Do you plan at some point to put a bathroom in your guest house? That would have made it perfect. Your neighbor was very helpful when my phone number didn't work.

Great Home in Boise close to downtown and BSU
The home is in a great location and is beautifully maintained. We loved the location and it worked out really well for our family of 7. Also, very close to Table Rock- which is a great hike. The owners are very responsive to any inquiries. The only thing I wish was different is that the casita that has 2 beds- doesn't have a bathroom. Overall not a huge deal, but would've made things a bit more convenient. We would definitely come back!

Terrific Boise Property
We stayed at this lovely house for BSU Parent’s Weekend. Although we didn’t have the time to fully enjoy all this beautiful home and area has to offer it was a great stay. This home is beautifully done and has everything you will need. We met one of the hosts and he was very nice and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. The beds were super comfortable. Large living room and comfy sectional to kick back and watch tv. The view out the back was awesome. The trail can be accessed right behind the property for a great bike ride or long walk. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Fantastic Holiday Stay
A perfect holiday stay! The house is fantastic and Gary and Lynne are wonderful hosts. The location cannot be beat! We were in Boise for a very special Christmas gathering with family and friends. The house is within walking distance to so many things. And our daily walks on the trails accessed from the back yard were invigorating! We had a beautiful nighttime snowy walk to the Botanical Gardens a half mile from the house for the magical Christmas Aglow. Couldn't have been better! We will definitely return! Thank you to Gary and Lynne.

Absolutely perfect
I spent a week in this beautifully appointed home and it made me think about moving to Boise! Everything is top notch and Lynn and Gary were both great to work with. The outdoor space is wonderful, and the direct access to walking trails is unparalleled. The neighbor is cozy and safe, the beds comfortable, and the great room fantastic. I was on a writer's retreat with two other friends and we each had comfortable working space. We agreed that we might have to make a visit to this house a regular event!

Horrible stressful experience..not advised to book if you have babies!
We had booked this vrbo because it was close to St. Lukes Hospital where our twins were being born via surrogate. We had reserved it for 1 week and the wife told us that we could extend our stay a few more nights if needed (due to we would not know when our twins would be ready to travel) she also said that it was not booked for a few days after our reservation incase we needed to stay, she would be able to accommodate us. At the end of the week , we received a text that they were very sorry ,but that they had double booked to a party of 12 and we needed to be out by 11 :15am the next day for the house cleaners. The twins had their first Dr. appt that we were late to because we had to rush and pack up to accommodate the people that they had "double booked" or were paying a higher rate for 12 people. The vrbo owner offered us some other names of people that had homes to rent and we ended up in Harris Ranch, which I highly recommend. It was a much nicer, newer neighborhood, cleaner, & peaceful. This was a very unpleasant experience to have gone through with newborns to say the least....
