Great Area!

We were in Boise over the 4th of July weekend visiting family. We were lucky to find this house just a couple miles away. The house was clean, spacious and very nice! The house is close to golf, BSU, and downtown with easy access to the best of Boise. The hosts made it easy for us to check in and made themselves available if we needed anything. Highly recommend this property!

This is a great house. Lots of room with a beautiful backyard, backing up to open space. Communication with the owner was easy and they live right next door. We had told them we were coming in late so they turned on some lights for us so we were not going into a dark house. It is a great location and it will be our Boise go o to from now on.
