Historic Craftsman Yard, Patio & Fireplace
Summary:
Charming Craftsman Near Hyde Park & Downtown
The Space:
The Harrison House — A Historic Boise Craftsman Full of Character and Charm
Some homes have a story to tell, and the Harrison House is one of them. Built in 1923 by the son of Irish immigrants, this meticulously decorated Boise craftsman is a love letter to a bygone era — bright, characterful, and brimming with personality at every turn. Hardwood floors, antique décor, and cheerful blue and yellow accents give the home a warmth that's impossible to manufacture, while three bedrooms and a full bathroom all on the main floor make it as practical as it is charming.
Curl up together on the sofa by the gas fireplace on a cool evening, challenge each other to board games in the sunny sunroom, or let the little ones settle in for a movie night with the TV and DVD player. When the outdoors calls, step into the enchanting enclosed backyard — a whimsical retreat featuring a vine-covered pergola and an ornate river-rock patio that feels like something out of a storybook. Serve lemonade or fresh mojitos under the porch umbrella, or fire up the grill for a perfect alfresco barbecue with the people you love most. Whether you're planning a wine-tasting weekend with close friends or a family adventure into the great Idaho outdoors, the Harrison House is ready to be the backdrop for memories that last.

Historic Streets, Endless Adventures

Just two miles from downtown Boise and only blocks from Camel's Back Park and the eclectic shops and cafes of Hyde Park, the location is as enviable as the home itself.
Spend a morning rallying on the Camel's Back tennis courts, then rent stand-up paddleboards from Idaho River Sports for an afternoon exploring Quinn's Pond two miles away. Pedal along the scenic Boise River Greenbelt, wander through the Idaho Botanical Garden, or float the river at Barber Park for a quintessential Boise summer afternoon. Families with little ones will love a visit to Zoo Boise to meet the tigers, and when winter rolls in, Bogus Basin is less than 16 miles away — perfect for a white Christmas or a New Year's celebration on the slopes.

My daughter lives a ten minute walk away. My son came to town and was staying with my daughter and her boyfriend. We rented the home to spend a few days with them and celebrate Thanksgiving. The living room and dining room accommodated our dinner and visiting with guests. It’s a very relaxing home.

Charming home in perfect location! Everything was wonderful. Really enjoyed the porch and backyard, and loved walking to Hyde Park. There is a small shower which wasn't in the pictures so that was great.
We had a great stay. It was close to the places we wanted to go, hang out, and enjoy.

Favorite place to stay!
We have stayed in several houses and hotels and Harrison House is by far our favorite! Great location, adorable home, lots of indoor and outdoor space.
Rented this house for a summer stay in Boise with my family and couldn’t have been happier. Cute home, very clean, and amazing location! We absolutely loved our stay and would stay again!
We loved staying at this property. We were able to walk to starbucks, Albertsons and restaurants. It’s was oozing with charm and character. We can’t wait to stay again!
