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.

Fantastic Cottage!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! The host left treats for us and also put together a very handy booklet with restaurants and points of interest. Had its own designated parking spot at the property, Close to downtown, Cute decor throughout the home, We will definitely stay here again. Check in and check out was smooth.

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!
