Little Sunset is perfect for grandparents, another couple, or anyone in your group who would appreciate a little additional privacy while remaining steps from everyone else.
🚪 OPEN THE GATE & BRING THE PROPERTY TOGETHER
When Sunset and Little Sunset are rented separately, a gate normally remains closed to maintain privacy between the two reservations.
With Gathering Sunset, your group has reserved both accommodations.
The separating gate can be unlocked and propped open during your stay, allowing your group to move more naturally between the main home and detached guesthouse.
You can also keep it closed whenever members of your group prefer additional privacy.
🌿 ALL DESIGNATED GUEST OUTDOOR AREAS INCLUDED
Unlike the individual Little Sunset reservation, Gathering Sunset gives your group access to both properties' designated outdoor spaces:
• Main lawn
• Garden
• Covered patio
• Fire pit
• Yard games
• Little Sunset's fully fenced courtyard
The garden may contain seasonal herbs, fruits or vegetables for guests to enjoy, depending on the time of year.
🪑 NEW HOPE FURNITURE
Many of the unique furniture pieces throughout the property have been thoughtfully refinished by the owners through their local business, New Hope Furniture.
If something catches your eye, feel free to ask. Select refinished pieces may be available for purchase.
Guest Access:
Your Gathering Sunset reservation includes both Sunset and Little Sunset.
Guests have access to:
• 4-bedroom Sunset main home
• Detached Little Sunset king guesthouse
• Main lawn and garden
• Covered patio and outdoor dining
• Fire pit and yard games
• Little Sunset's fully fenced courtyard
• Laundry facilities
• Designated parking areas
🚪 SEPARATING GATE
A gate normally separates Sunset and Little Sunset when they are individually rented.
Because Gathering Sunset includes both accommodations, this gate can be unlocked and propped open during your stay to make movement between the homes easier.
Please close and secure the gate whenever needed for children, pets or privacy.
🔒 GARAGE / OWNER BUSINESS AREA — NOT INCLUDED
The garage and designated owner business/storage area are not included with Gathering Sunset.
The area contains owner belongings and storage associated with New Hope Furniture.
The owners may occasionally access this designated area during your reservation. They do not need to enter either guest accommodation to access it.
Please keep garage/workshop access unobstructed.
🚗 PARKING
Driveway and legal street parking are available for your group.
The gravel drive leading toward Little Sunset may be used for convenient loading and unloading, but please avoid leaving vehicles there because it provides trailer and vehicle access to the owner's business/storage area.
🗑️ TRASH
Garbage bins are located behind the gate area and accessed from the Sunset driveway side.
Because your Gathering Sunset reservation includes both accommodations, your group may access the bins normally.
Please securely bag household trash before placing it in the appropriate containers.
The Neighborhood:
Gathering Sunset is located in Boise's desirable North End/Sunset area, giving your group convenient access to both city attractions and outdoor recreation.

• Sunset Park
• Veterans Memorial Park
• Downtown Boise
• Hyde Park restaurants and coffee shops
• Boise State University

The combination of a large main home, detached guesthouse and multiple outdoor spaces makes Gathering Sunset particularly convenient for families and groups visiting Boise together.
Please remember that this remains a residential neighborhood. Even though the property accommodates a larger group, outdoor noise, vehicles and gatherings should remain respectful of surrounding neighbors.
