About this property

Charming home near Boise State and The Train Depot

This 1933 Home had all the charm that you want. With so many original details still left, hardwood floors, glass door knobs, doors, kitchen sink and counters, and wood windows you can really picture what this house was originally like. There is 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The back yard is an amazing place to have your morning coffee. You cannot beat the location or the neighborhood. You are so close to the airport, interstate, BSU and downtown.

My friends and I had a great time in the house. It’s one of the coziest places I’ve ever been to! Communication with Host Jaima was very easy and she was caring a lot all the time.

Boise Family Reunion

We are a family from all over the States (California, Colorado, Maine, and Idaho) and our stay at Peasley Street was THE BEST! Great layout for our group of 2 adults and 2 kids (4 and 11), and wonderful central location, close to the airport, Boise State U, and all that Boise has to offer for fun. Jaima was a super-host, very informative, welcoming, and available. The neighborhood is very walkable, nearby the Boise Depot and several cafes and coffee joints (Primal Coffee is the bomb). Thank you, Jaima - we'll be back!

Relaxing period home

A beautiful period American home just a short walk or quick bus/uber ride from down town Boise. We are four adults and stayed for fourteen nights during which time our needs were fully catered for at this property. It has great outdoor space for bbq's etc. Contact with the host Jaima was straightforward and immediate. We have nothing negative to say about any aspect of our stay at this property and would return without hesitation.

Charming

This is the cutest little house in good proximity to downtown Boise and the University which is why we were there. There was only three of us but this would be a great house for a family with kids. It had three bedrooms with the basement being a whole other living area. Also had a beautiful backyard that kids can plan if you had little ones. This house is well stocked with everything you will need. The owner was very helpful and responsive to questions when we were looking for things. We really enjoyed staying in this charming home with all its history. We have never stayed in the house this old. We really loved it and would love to come back again and stay here. Couldn’t ask for a better host!!

My husband and I love everything about Boise, and we are super excited to share it with you. We moved here in 2000, and have never looked back. We own 2 nightly rentals in Boise Idaho. A 3 bedroom and 2 bedroom, both are close to downtown and Boise State University. We can't wait to have you as our guest.

Why they chose this property

There are so many original details still left in this house. The coved ceiling, doors, glass door knobs, tiled kitchen counters, kitchen sink, the original milk door and hardwood floors. You will love seeing the craftmanship of 1933.
