Our stay was good. Kitchen cabinets need to be replaced along with the front door. Lacking some cabinet knobs and front door total mess. Front porch and ramp need much work. Bed very comfortable. Guess all is good but just needs much updating.

Cozy Cottage

The cottage is just great for a few guests. It was clean, quiet, and equipped with everything you would need. The description on the website was exactly how it is. It is in a location that is close to main roads that take you into Boise and Meridian. I would stay there again.

This was a very comfortable place. Loved the notes all around. There was coffee and laundry detergent/dryer sheets, making it easy to clean up after floating on the river. TV streaming options were great as was the shower. Communication was easy with host. Great value for the price!

About the host

Hosted by Jenn Yehle

Host profile image
I am a host that loves to host as much as I love to travel to other vacation rentals. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and have 3 children. We love to travel to beaches, lakes, hot springs and anywhere in nature. We love to host people in our cottage as it is close to town but gives us plenty of nature. Many guest will be fortunate to see baby geese, ducks and even occasional baby kittens. We are continually updating the cottage to have a warm and comforting place for out of towners to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Quiet older neighborhood in Boise, within 5-15 minutes to everything in Boise. We love the fact that we are so close to everything in Boise, but we still have the feeling of the country. Guests should look to stay at our cottage if they want a cozy cottage feel. We think the cottage is like a great pair of worn jeans, so comfy, and cozy.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything, without all the hustle and bustle of city life. Peaceful setting within minutes to anything in Boise.
