We really liked the location of the home. The size also worked for us. There were some small things that made us not give 5 stars, such as zero outlets in the bathroom, an opened and partly drank San Pelligrino left as part of a little welcoming package, and missing some items that were advertised in the description.

We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and comfortable space. The kitchen upgrade was very nice. The house being older could use a bathroom upgrade. It can be difficult to make an older tub and floor look shiny and clean . We felt that it was fairly priced however and would probably stay again.

Everything we needed

The owner set us up with all of the info we needed to make sure our stay was as smooth as one could ask for. We were close enough to downtown that we could walk (which we did almost every time), and there is plenty to do/eat within 1 mile of the house.

Everything was perfect for our party of 2. It was clean, very cute. We could easily walk but drove and downtown was very close. Parking was great and our place had everything we needed. It was nice having a filtered water and ice cube which oftentimes is not readily available so I like that. Great place and would recommend.

North End Cottage

We loved our stay at North End cottage. The location was perfect for walking to Hyde Park and downtown. The house was very comfortable and well appointed, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils, though we only really made coffee and enjoyed walking everywhere. The back patio offers an outside space, tho is advertised as "exterior is elegantly landscaped." We found this not true but there is potential!

University of Idaho Sorority Gathering

We had a luncheon at the house on the patio. We were able to social distance and enjoy the time together without waiters wanting us to leave! The patio was perfect and we talked into the night. The patio was nicely lit and we so enjoyed the beautiful fall weather! The girls loved the house!

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the North End neighborhood of Boise. The old homes, mature trees and quiet streets are too hard to resist. When we found this home, we instantly fell in love with it for all its charm and personality. We had looked at dozens of other homes, but this was clearly the one!

What makes this property unique

This home doesn't have to be hyped. It's unique charm and comfortable interior says it all. Even though the home was built in 1938, the complete remodel ensures that you will enjoy the old North End neighborhood in comfort and style. The exterior is also elegantly landscaped, brining an higher level of pleasure to all who stay here.
