Cozy and Private East End Downtown Historic Cottage with B Yard, One Bed & Bath
Steeped in Boise's Downtown Historic East End off of Warm Springs Avenue, this 1912 cottage offers a cozy, private, and relaxing space for 1-2 guests comfortably. A private, fenced backyard features a covered patio for reading, daydreaming and dining. This vintage vacation rental is located close to Boise's best eateries, pubs, nightlife, museums and outdoor markets. Cyclists, walkers, runners and hikers are minutes on foot from the River Greenbelt and Foothill trails.This property is located one mile from St. Lukes Hospital and two miles from BSU. The airport is a 10 minute commute.
Resting in a quiet neighborhood, recognized as an official Historic District, this destination is perfect for long strolls, with blocks of homes ranging from the 1890s to 1950s. This charming house is ideal for solo travelers or a couple. The cozy bedroom has a full-sized bed. If you love creaky floors and doors this house is for you. She is an old girl with 9 foot ceilings and tons of character gleaned from a life well lived. If you are used to a modern home with updated kitchen and bath, this will be a change of pace.
Try it and you may like it!!
After a refreshing night’s sleep, take a bath in the vintage clawfoot tub before heading out to the covered back patio to enjoy your morning coffee. The fenced-in backyard is the perfect place to watch the sunset after an exciting day of exploring Boise.
The fully equipped kitchen features a granite island and has everything you need to prepare all of your favorite meals from the comfort of your home-away-from-home. Sit down and enjoy your meals at the vintage dining table in the living room while you stream your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV!
This charming getaway is located in the historic ‘East End’ of downtown Boise! You’ll be a short distance from the city center for dining and culture, business and government! Whatever you want to do in Boise, this is the home base for you. Easy free parking is on the street, usually right in front of the house.
When you’re not in the mood to cook for yourself, Uber, walk or bike 1.25 miles to the heart of town to dine at eclectic local restaurants. There are dozens to choose from! Whole Foods, Trader Joes, The Boise Co-op and WINCO grocery stores are all less than a 5 minutes drive. A charming cafe/market is a 3 block walk from the cottage. Morning coffee, lunch and evening happy hour. Wine and beer and a selection of fresh produce, etc. are available at The Roosevelt Market. It is the place to see the locals and be seen!
Boise State fans will love this home’s location. The Broncos play their home football games just under 2 miles away at Albertsons Stadium! St. Luke's Hospital is one mile away.
Of course, no trip to Idaho would be complete without some outdoor adventures! Bring your hiking shoes or rent a mountain bike and head to the foothills to get some fresh air.

About the host
Hosted by Randi Beth Albrechtsen
I am a recently retired Physical Therapist Assistant. I am a bluegrass vocalist and musician. I play in a small group as well as participate in jams with friends. I love the outdoors, traveling in my van and being a grandma. My cottage in Boise is a passion of mine. Maintaining it, repairs, decorating and gardening keep me busy on days when the house is not occupied. From 2017 to 2020 I rented my house out via Airbnb and Evolve while I lived in McCall. I had a 5+ rating and many repeat guests. I am starting out new with VRBO and look forward to many happy guests and reviews. Please give me a try and you will enjoy your stay.
This little cottage has an amazing past history and the vibe is loving and fun. Check out the photo of Mrs. Katie Carter which is on the fridge. She lived here for over 25 years, until she was 96. She helped raise her 9 grandkids and hosted many family get togethers. The house originally had no power or plumbing. An outhouse in back, a wood cook stove and ice box. Katies granddaughter, now in her 70's, stopped by one day with photos and stories? It was great. Also several political and business leaders of the early 1900's lived here.
