Crofty Cottage Dog-Approved Boise Bench Charmer with Private Fenced Yard
Welcome to your home away from home in Boise!
This recently renovated 1-bedroom duplex offers a comfortable and convenient stay, just minutes from everything the city has to offer. You'll appreciate the modern touches, including hardwood floors, butcher block countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. The cozy living space features a spacious bedroom with a king-sized bed, a bright galley kitchen, a dining area for four, and a comfortable living room with a sectional sofa and Smart TV. There's also a dedicated workspace with a desk and fast internet, making it easy to stay connected.
Step outside and enjoy your private, fully fenced backyard, perfect for relaxing with your morning coffee or spending time with your dog. Parking is easy with a driveway for two vehicles and additional street parking available.
The neighborhood is conveniently located near downtown Boise, Boise State University, the airport, parks, restaurants, and shopping. It is an older, mixed-use area with a variety of housing styles and local businesses. Because the home is located on a busy street, you will hear traffic noise and the occasional siren from a nearby fire station. There is also a cell tower adjacent to the property that is visible from the yard and driveway.
If you're looking for a clean, comfortable home base with easy access to Boise's attractions, we think you'll feel right at home here.
We hope you have a wonderful stay in Boise!

This cute cottage was exactly what we needed for our family celebration in Boise. Super clean with everything we needed, exactly how we needed it. The fenced backyard was safe and secure for our little pup and we really enjoyed our stay - thank you so much for sharing your home!
This house is in a convenient location and is quiet and perfect for bringing the dogs. Everything was clean and super comfortable. Sandy was absolutely wonderful!
VRBO was perfect for our needs! Very clean, quaint, had all the necessities, and was in the perfect location.Owner was very responsive while booking, and checked in during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and make sure our stay was pleasant. Highly recommended. We would reach back out to check availability for our next visit to Boise!!
Very well-appointed and well-kept place. We appreciated the comfortable king bed, storage options for a longer stay, comfortable living room and dining room, and kitchen with all the amenities we needed.
We had a great stay over the holiday while in town visiting family. This adorable house had everything you could need, was comfortable, clean and cozy! Will definitely stay again.

This place was very lovely and welcoming.It's a well-maintained and private. Everything was laid out for convenience.The only problem I had was my back hurt after a night of sleeping due to the mattress lacking support. I am not a heavy person. Just 120 lbs female. There was a plenty of blankets in the closet so I slept on the floor. Problem solved. The bathroom and the kitchen were all clean. All appliances were functioning well. I definitely recommend the cottage for any families.Sandy was a wonderful host. She communicated in a timely manner to any question I had. Thank your hospitality.

Hi April,
thank you so much for letting me know about the mattress.
I just ordered a new one after reading your review. I also added a bunkie board and a topper so hopefully we have all the bases covered for a good night's sleep.
I will just say that this property was CLEAN. The decor was very simple and very tasteful. Although I only cooked one meal, the kitchen was very well appointed and had everything a guest would need to prep any kind of meal. I only spent two nights in a quick work trip so I didn’t really get a chance to settle in. The porch and small yard are very comfortable and private. This property will be on the top of my search list for the next trip. Location is perfect for me. Quick drive to the job and walking distance to the Overland Bar and Panda Garden. (I’m a working class stiff…. Don’t need “fancy”).

We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and discovered the Overland Bar. It’s truly a Boise gem and the perfect spot to wind down at the end of the day in a classic neighborhood pub atmosphere. You are Welcome back anytime!
We had a wonderful stay at The Crofty Cottage Bench. The home was sparkling clean and very comfortable! A perfect location and loved the nearby bakery for morning treats.When we return to Boise we will be booking a stay there once again.
The host was excellent. Communication was timely. The house was perfect for a couple. It was well equipped and had complimentary coffee, tea, & hot chocolate which was a very nice touch. The TV had You Tube TV and Paramount Plus (with no commercials) which was a huge plus. It may have had more premiums channels, we just didn’t check beyond those two.
Perfect little cottage in a great location. Backed off a busy street with off street parking. Clean, remodeled and very comfortable bed. Rooms are good sized. It’s a perfect little place to stay.
I wished I had booked a longer stay at this beautiful and conveniently located property! My dog and I both enjoyed the beautiful house and pretty yard.

About the host
Hosted by Sandy Sturgis
Hi, I'm Sandy!
My husband Eric and I have been hosting guests for over 25 years, and we genuinely enjoy helping people feel at home while they explore the places we love.
We split our time between the Oregon coast and Boise, Idaho, and are fortunate to host guests in both locations. Whether you're visiting for outdoor adventures, a family getaway, a road trip with your dog, or simply a chance to relax, we strive to provide comfortable, well-maintained homes with thoughtful touches and local recommendations.
We are pet lovers, avid travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts ourselves, so we understand what makes a stay enjoyable. Our goal is simple: clear communication, comfortable accommodations, and a welcoming experience from booking to checkout.
We look forward to hosting you and helping you make the most of your stay!
Why they chose this property
We originally purchased Crofty Cottage as a long-term rental, and one of the things we appreciated most about the location was its convenience. While this is not Boise's most upscale or quiet neighborhood, it offers easy access to just about everything.
The cottage is close to downtown Boise, Boise State University, the airport, shopping, restaurants, and several parks. Many guests enjoy being able to reach most destinations in just a few minutes and have groceries, meals, and other essentials delivered with ease.
Like many established Boise neighborhoods, you'll find a mix of well-kept homes alongside properties that are still being improved. The area is active and can be busy at times, but it provides an authentic look at everyday Boise life while keeping you close to the city's most popular attractions.
What makes this property unique
What makes Crofty Cottage special is that it feels like a real home rather than a generic rental. We take pride in keeping the property clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully equipped for guests.
One feature that sets the cottage apart is the fully fenced backyard. While cozy in size, it offers a comfortable outdoor space with grass and mature landscaping. Guests, especially those traveling with dogs, appreciate having a private yard to enjoy.
We've also worked hard to create a comfortable, practical space with a well-equipped kitchen, dedicated workspace, and inviting living areas. Our goal is to provide the kind of home where we would be happy to stay ourselves.
