The 1-bedroom Loft at the Pink House was perfect for my husband and I to call our home while we were visiting our family in Boise. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for our needs. In the evening we relaxed in the comfy love seats. The bedding on the bed was so comfortable and cozy! We had plenty of room to store our belongings for the month. If we have another extended stay in Boise, we will certainly book the Loft again. . . Thank you, Sherry, for ensuring our enjoyable stay.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing.

A Wonderful Month Spent in the Balcony Room!

I absolutely adore The Pink Guest House. Initially, I had a little trepidation about the shared bathroom arrangement, but it was absolutely not inconvenient or difficult at all. The newly remodeled shared bath is just outside the bedroom door of the Balcony Room and in a very private hallway. The room itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I cooked often in the very functional kitchen and the owner Sherry has made sure you've got all the cooking utensils and dishes you need. It's fun to walk to the Boise Co-Op, just a quick couple of blocks away, to stock up on all the ingredients for a delicious meal, with organic and local being their speciality. I never tired of sitting and looking at the Boise skyline from my room and it was lovely to take an evening walk around the beautiful Idaho Capitol Building. It felt like a cozy home away from home and I'll stay here again.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Tina! We so much enjoyed your smiling self here at the Pink House in December and would love to have you return soon! ~Sherry

The apartments at the house are lovely, comfotable and well furnished. The neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located. We were lucky to have landed there!!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

Sherry was a fantastic land-goddess! :) The Carriage House was truly heaven-sent during our housing transition! The studio was beautiful and comfortable and the outdoor space was so serene. We greatly enjoyed our time at the Pink Guest House and would recommend it to any travelers or locals in transition.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

In our week long visit to see our son, we thought the Loft worked perfectly for us. The downstown stores and restaurants along with the capitol building were all within a short walk. Each morning we walked a few blocks to our choice of coffee shops. The nearby food coop was arrived at in only 5 minutes. There was a lot of positive energy in Boise with many people out and about including many on bicycle. The Loft was very comfortable for relaxing, visiting our son and cooking. The surrounding areas we visited( 1 hour north and 1 hour south) were stunning examples in nature including canyons, desert, pine forests, whitewater rivers, hot springs, lakes, etc. with plenty of trails for hiking, walking and sightseeing. Sherry was friendly and welcoming and checked in to see if we had any needs over the course of the week. The reservations process was easy and dependable with plenty of communication via email and phone. We had a great time and would recommend staying at the Pink Guest House.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Dear Sherry, Thank you for making my six week stay in Boise so very special. I loved calling the Retro my little home away from home and it made my visit with family here so much fun and relaxing. You are a dear person and I am honored to call you friend. I am looking forward to next summers stay at the Pink House and exploring all the many layers of downtown and the surrounding areas. Take care, MJRecommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, pet owners, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

Dear potential future clients, we would like to highly recommend this Pink Guest House property if you are considering staying in Boise in your future travels! The property is nicely laid out, comfortable, attractive, practical and cosy. It benefits from the use of a great little flowering patio for having a drink out of doors on or eating - very pretty - and for those inclined to cook it has a BBQ - we enjoyed numerous breakfasts and evening drinks on the patio. We used the apartment as a base pad for our holidays, visiting Redfish lake, fishing in numerous nearbye rivers, swimming at Sandy Point and other great outdoor recreation facilities all within easy reach. However, we also loved the Guest house's central location as it is walking distance to the center where there are numerous places to eat out, a great Saturday market, shops etc and also walking distance to Hyde Park with it's pretty terraces and restaurants, not forgetting easy access to the Co-Op , a healthy grocery store that has wonderful ice-creams! :) The owner is also very hospitable and open to ideas. All in all a very professional and welcoming guest house that will no doubt continue to do well - so book in advance! We will certainly be back!!!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

I picked the Pink Guesthouse to stay in since I have just moved to Boise from Britain, so I am used to living close to everything. The room is very nicely appointed and has everything I need with a great open-plan living space. My furnished studio, the Carriage House, is above the detached garage, next to which I have my own parking space. My car stays there a lot, because I love walking around. It's only 2 blocks to the fabulous Co-op, a few blocks to downtown where Sherry recommended I go for the weekly Saturday Farmer's market (great diversity of stalls, fantastically attended, live music, free tastings), and 10 or so blocks to Albertsons. Today I walked to the laundromat, and while the wash was on I experienced the buzzing patio cafe culture of Sunday brunch at Hyde Park. My first week here, I happened upon the annual Greek Festival nearby. In the evenings and weekends, families are biking around. On Wednesday evenings many people walk or bike into downtown for the free live music (Alive after Five). There is also First Thursday downtown which is kind of an art event where galleries are open late, and the pubs/bars have special happy hours. Boise is a nice size, and I plan to drive out to the Botanical Gardens for Thursday night concerts, and to the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. There is great morning sun at the patio table accessible to my studio, and since the garden is far from any roads it is really quiet and peaceful in the evenings. I am so much happier than I would have been in a corporate extended stay apartment studio.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Sherry, We were so blessed to be able to have a whole month in the Pink House Loft! The location was perfect for us - we had a routine in the mornings of walking to town to grab a cup of coffee then a beautiful walk...always discovering some where new. We loved being so close to so many events and AMAZING restaurants. Thank you - we love Boise and will definitely return. You are so sweet and a gracious host!

About the owner: Hello! I fell in love with the Pink House the moment I saw it in 2002...it has such inviting and happy energy! I live and work in this lovely place facilitating, mediating and coaching work teams and families. Most of all, I love meeting all our interesting guests! I am an avid hiker and world traveler and enjoy old architecture and unique cultures/people from around the globe. Like you, when traveling, I am drawn to staying in small guest houses, B&Bs, hostels, small furnished apartments, tents! I still plan to stay on a sailboat and in a tree house :). The Boise area is my home base and I am happy to share info on hiking and biking trails, favorite restaurants, small ghost towns, favorite outdoor music venues, local wineries. I also have an A-Frame cabin (aka my art project!) in McCall and am happy to also share with you! In 2011 I adopted 8 yr old Gus, a friendly social Rottie, who is now my hiking buddy and official Pink House welcomer! Gus and I look forward to meeting you! ~Sherry
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
I love our big shade trees, fruit trees, ivy on the house, blackberries and squirrels even though they beat me to the cherries every year! All the sitting areas around the yard. Walking to Saturday Market, Downtown shopping, restaurants, coffee houses, Boise Co-op, YMCA, Theaters...all within 3 to 5 blocks :) ...and of course hiking and riding the foothill trails as well as biking the Greenbelt!
