My mom and I rented this to visit my son in Boise and look for a home to buy. What a great home! I loved the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom, but what makes me want to come back is Fat Gus and Gretchen, the two squirrels I got to feed with permission and an invitation from the owners. As an animal lover, I appreciated their mindfulness for nature!

Perfect!

The house was just what we were looking for. Enough space for 3 adults and 2 kids (16 and 10) and near enough to skiing and great food! The house was clean and comfortable and the owners communicated well and made themselves available if we needed anything (we did not, it was all great). We all said we’d definitely stay there again.

Swim Team Trip

Robyn's house was perfect for our group - 2 adults and 3 teenagers in Boise for a swim meet at the new swim center! The house was really clean, and we all enjoyed relaxing in the open living/dining areas. The two adults loved that the house is walking distance to the river, groceries, and downtown (I like to walk). So much better than a hotel! I even made three loaves of banana bread in the well equipped kitchen!

We brought the whole family along for an end-of-summer business trip/vacation. The house was near where we were working and close to a lot shopping, groceries, and entertainment options. It was comfortable for our whole family. Having a garage to park our car in was a pleasant bonus. The owner made contact to make sure our arrival was smooth and communicated when lawn-care was going to be done. Our whole stay was pleasant and this will be a preferred location for us to stay if it is available the next time we come to town.

Excellent in every way

Our family stayed in Boise for 3 nights as part of a road trip to see new places. This home was in a perfect location for walking to the college, city trails, parks, restaurants and food. It was also just a short drive to downtown. The host communicated all the info we needed at the perfect times. This home has everything we needed while still having plenty of space for our own items to be put away during our stay. Everything was labeled and explained so no trying to figure out remote, switches, or thermostat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the space. Thanks!

This is one of my favorite short term rental stays. The house looks even bigger and better than the pictures. It’s comfy, cozy, and clean. We particularly liked the patio outside for morning coffee and relaxing at night. Proximity to the football field and Greenbelt is amazing. Plus, the host took care of us from beginning to end. Very clear communication about check in and check out. I hope I get the opportunity to stay here again.

Loved our stay in the house. Our host Robyn was fantastic and reached out to us around our arrival, letting us know to contact them if we needed anything. Location was perfect. The place was clean and nicely decorated. It accommodated our group 6, allowed enough areas for us to spread out. The outdoor patio area was awesome. Would definitely stay here again.
