Oasis in the city

Cannot say enough about the owner and property! It was the perfect escape from the hustle of the surrounding city life. The place was immaculate, the owner incredibly responsive and kind. Very thoughtful!! Milk and bagels in the fridge, all kinds of snacks, wide variety of coffees, heated bathroom floor. The backyard was my favorite! Totally surrounded by greenery for privacy and a perfect place to sit outside and enjoy coffee and the warm breeze with a good book! The neighborhood was great for walking and felt completely safe. Will absolutely recommend and use again!

Everything you need to have a comfortable stay, great backyard patio, easy parking, and a quiet neighborhood. Location could not be better. Easy access to downtown and Camelback park is only a block away. Slept very well on the king size bed and bathroom and shower had everything we needed. Check in and out super easy, could not recommend more. 10/10

Comfy “Boathouse”

This is a very clean, spacious place for two people. It had everything we needed for our four night stay. The private back yard space is a real plus, and the North End location is very convenient. We enjoyed our stay here.

Perfect Romantic Getaway

The furnishings were very tasteful. The amenities exceed the average VRBO. The location is excellent for exploring downtown Boise and other surrounding landmarks. The property is very quiet and private even in the heart of a neighborhood. I would book this property everytime I visit Boise!

BFF Reunion

We had the best time in this very comfy home! Spotless, organized with fresh flowers and a fridge/draws full of food and supplies,for free! Beautiful neighborhood a few blocks from open space with trails or neighborhood bars and restaurants. Can’t wait to come in the spring. You will feel pampered here.

Amazing! Didn’t want to leave!

Chelli, the property, and the location make this the best place to stay in Boise! Chelli made sure the house had everything we needed and even things we didn’t know we needed. The thoughtful touches were above and beyond! We enjoyed the comforts of the home and exploring Camelback on foot and bike, the local restaurants/bakeries of Hyde Park, downtown Boise, and BSU. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in town.

Wow! Great location, great space!

We really enjoyed our stay. This location is awesome - walking distance to historic Hyde Park with shopping, dining and coffee shops. Also could walk to Camelback Park which has a ton of trails. This space was perfect for 2 people and was very well stocked. Would stay at this place again for sure.

Comfortable stay in quiet neighborhood.

Comfortable and nice modern furniture. Heated bathroom floor. Easy to use heater. Nice smart tv. Personal preference would be to have room darkening shades on windows. Quiet at night. Snacks and drinks for guests nice touch.
