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.

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.
