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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay
This was a great place to stay. The cottage was clean, had many extras and so comfortable. The location to the greenbelt was so nice for a morning run and convenient to restaurants and downtown as well.

Lovely Stay
This place was perfect for my business trip. The bed was very comfortable. I loved the fact it had air purifiers as well as essential oil diffusers! Will definitely be back for my next seminar in Boise.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Warren

Host profile image
Hi, we're Glenn and Debbie Warren. We live part time now in Boise and we travel to keep up with 8 our grandkids, ages 3 years to 20 years old.

Glenn is a retired aerospace operations manager and Debbie did volunteer work-time. but now manages our properties. Until we move to Boise full-time, we are lucky to have one of the town's biggest fans as the local contact for all of our guest's questions or needs during their stay.

We love travel! Some of our favorite spots have been Thailand, Roatan, Bahamas and Mexico. Our travel wishlist includes Malta, Croatia, the Maldives and anywhere in Europe. (Oh, Glenn says add Alaska to that list.)

Debbie is a big fan of sushi, but Glenn is a true “meat and potatoes” guy. On a rare day to ourselves, you will find us hanging out with the grandkids!

Our favorite thing about hosting is meeting new people, introducing them to this amazing city and making sure their visit to Boise feels coming home!

Why they chose this property

After only visiting Boise for a weekend, we fell in love with the town and decided to buy our eventual retirement home. We love the sunshine, relaxed vibe of the town and suburbs, the lack of busy traffic, the friendly people and the abundance of outside activities possible.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is so unique! We fell in love with this home because it gave us the chance to purchase two homes for the price of one. Our second villa is completed now, directly behind the front home and offers guests a beautiful outdoor patio, complete with pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen!

. It is walkable to Quinn's Pond, Esther Simplot Park and the Boise River Greenbelt.
