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.

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!

Excellent location. Quiet. Lovely and cozy cottage. Beautifully appointed. Was thrilled with everything. I will stay again should I travel to Boise.I would suggest a choice of pillow firmness. The bed pillows were on the very firm side.

The cottage was cozy, quiet & beautifully decorated. Conveniently located close to BSU & downtown Boise. Comfortable bed & lots of pillows and blankets. The TV was great but only had streaming services so we were unable to watch the Mariners playoff game or BSU football game on live TV, so we had to watch it on our phone instead. Other than that our stay was great!
