Fantastic place to stay

We just needed a place to stay for one night while we were passing through. This was such a great place to stay. We were sort of laughing that we wished we had a reason to stay longer. There was lots of roo. For us to spread out after a full day of driving. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Property was very nice, clean and generously stocked. It was a little small for our family with limited seating and the backyard patio has no shade and the yard is very small. Overall it was a very nice property.

Owner reached out with check in instructions, very easy. As soon as you walked in, the home felt very clean and inviting.Kitchen was well stocked, although we did not cook much, just due to our schedule, you could easily cook and grill and have wonderful meals. The rooms were comfy, beds were nice, felt very home like. And, bathrooms were clean and had lots of towels. The upstairs bonus room was set up nicely but we just did not use the space, as we were busy with our own schedule outside the home. Overall, a great home in a quiet neighborhood and we would definitely rent again.Did not take advantage of the backyard, but was nice and lots of seating, again, included a grill with all the tools. The garage had a fun ping pong table and foosball table set up which we all had fun playing a few games.

👋 Welcome to Idaho!

Hi, I’m Michael — my family and I host a few homes in the Boise & Meridian area. We moved here about 10 years ago, so we still remember what it’s like to arrive in Idaho not knowing your finger steaks from your ice cream potatoes 🍽️🥔 (yes, that’s a real thing!).

What you can expect:
• 🏡 Friendly, local hosting — before, during & after your stay
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Family-focused tips — we have young kids too!
• 📸 Personalized recommendations with photos
• ❄️🌲 Outdoor fun for every season — even snowshoeing!

Whether you’re visiting for adventure, relaxation, or family time, I’m here to make your stay amazing. Please reach out anytime — and thank you for supporting our small family business! ✨

Why they chose this property

🌿 The Neighborhood
• Located half a mile from an elementary school, the sound of the kids playing in the backyard is our favorite
• Safe and family
• Right across the street from an open green area perfect for kids or small get togethers
• Walking path along Ten Mile Canal two minute walk from the house

What makes this property unique
