The property was so beyond cute! The host was reliable and quick with my questions. The pullout couch was really comfortable, and we had a great stay for our girls trip!
Amazing! Would love to stay again! 5 stars and absolutely adorable. The price was spot on, cute little chocolates by the bed. I would recommend to anyone!

My daughter and I stayed at this adorable cottage the night before our Boise State college tour! The host was very prompt and answering any questions we had, the parking was very convenient and simple and when we walked in, it was such a warm invite! The most adorable decor, warm colors and lighting. The living room and kitchen were very comfortable, even though everything is so cozy! The bed was adorable and very comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. I would definitely recommend staying here again. Very comfortable and a pleasurable stay!
The host never sent me information to a the property. She ignored all attempts to contact her from the VRBO agent and myself. It was a very busy weekend in Boise and I had an extremely difficult time finding another place to stay last minute.
Host was kind and responsive. Love how the rental is tucked away in the alley with a personal parking area, provides more than enough privacy. Some more kitchen utensils (chef's knife, tongs, basic cocktail utensils, etc) would be very helpful! Also the shower head was a little janky—still functional, but seemed really wobbly and loose. No big deal though! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this little rental.
Great stay! Close to many things to do. Beautiful property and clear instructions. Had a great breakfast 5 minutes away at Primal Coffee and even stopped by an antique shop nearby as well (LA Junk Antiques).
The Bench Cottage was an absolutely wonderful stay! It was really close to everything i needed and was not far from the concert i attended. Hosts were great and very welcoming. I would recommend the cottage and would book to stay there again!
