Clean, comfortable, quiet, and charming in a walkable neighborhood: a perfect respite for our Christmas visit. It may be a little cramped for a family, but for a couple with a dog, or for a grown-up set of friends, who wish to be close to downtown or a stone's throw from the university, it's a genuine retreat. Our host was communicative and available, but we had no need to call upon him for anything as all our needs were met, and then some.

About the host

Hosted by John Magnan

Host profile image
Hi, We have been enjoying Boise since 2005. It is a very unique "big town" and we try to take advantage of the great restaurants and micro breweries in town and then burn it off hiking and skiing in our down time. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Location and quality!! Quiet upscale neighborhood, just one block off of Warm Springs Ave and a few blocks from the foothills. Walk to BSU, St. Luke's, Whole Foods or the local Roosevelt Market which is 1 block away. This home has undergone a 4 month high level modernization, custom bath with decadent shower, big custom kitchen with new high end GE appliances, stone counter and breakfast bar. Open floorplan to dining area and living room. Also 3 cozy nooks- front porch with the only radiator we left in the house for an old fashioned warm up, the lovely office and the back porch with the washer and dryer. BONUS!! This place is heated by a volcano! It's true- we have geothermal heat so it is super green home and it is super insulated- so if the temps drop you will have a very green and very cozy space to curl up into to!!

What makes this property unique

Lovely features like the original 1905 door that leads to the back porch, or the arch to the office. 9 foot ceilings throughout make this house feel so much bigger. It is a great place to spend some time with friends. But my favorite- the custom Tall glass surround with custom tile work, feels like a resort.
