About this property

Upscale House for 17 with Firepit & Lovely Yard

Summary:

This house is made for large groups of up to 17 people. The spacious kitchen accommodates several cooks, and the dining table is for 10 people, with the option (and the chairs) to squeeze in 2 more. All beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses and pillows. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been completely remodeled with granite and tile. I bought this house in 2019 and have furnished it all new.

15 guests will have a real bed, 2 will have a queen size air mattress.



Guest Access:

You can use the house as well as the garage, as well as the backyard.



The Neighborhood:

The house is in a residential neighborhood and on a very quiet street. To Boise airport: 30 min. To Bogus Basin: 1 hr 10 min. To Eagle: 12 min. To Idaho Central Arena: 30 min. To Eagle Ada Sports Complex: 16 min. To Eagle Tennis Club: 14 min.



Getting Around:

You will definitely want to have a car.



Other Things to Note:

This house is owned by Sam Wenzel, owner and operator of Boise Vacation Rentals LLC. As you know, a professional host who manages their own rentals is the best of both worlds: professional management coupled with the care only an owner can bring to a property.

Great place to stay,

Loved the central location and the space of the layout. The beds were so comfortable, the backyard was a great space for children, and it really fit 3 married couples, four children and three single adults comfortably. Wonderful experience!!

The house was beautiful, modern and clean. The host was welcoming through email and available.

No complaints besides one set of sheets missing from a bed, and we weren’t super clear on how to lock the door, but those were minor things that didn’t effect our stay much. It was overall the perfect place for our large, multi family group.

Great for multiple families - large group

This home is well maintained, clean and has lots of sleeping space. We came to the Boise area for a youth baseball tournament and shared this house with 2 other families. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is in a great location, not too far from all of the fun activities that the Boise area has to offer. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Stay

This home was cozy with plenty of space for all of us. It sits in a quiet little neighborhood and has a fantastic backyard. Yes, it's winter time, however, we enjoyed the fire pit and the covered back porch. There were plenty of dishes and all the pots/pans needed to cook our meals. Communication with the property management was stellar. We will stay here again.

Family reunion

We had our family reunion here. We planned for 17 but only 7 people were able to attend. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and safe. The house was clean and well appointed. It’s close to grocery stores and shopping. We toured the College of Idaho Campus while we were there. We had a good time and everyone loved the place!

Boise Vacation Rentals LLC manages this house. We pay great attention to cleanliness and maintenance and go the extra mile to ensure you have the best experience in our rentals. Please check out our website, which is the same as the business name. Boise Vacation Rentals . com

Why they chose this property

We know how important family events are and want to offer a property that will accommodate family members who visit Star to attend a wedding, a family reunion, or a funeral. Furthermore, athletic teams and worker crews often need large houses as well. We are often told that if it wasn't for us, that competition, wedding, or family reunion simply would not have been attended as renting multiple hotel rooms or two or three houses is cost-prohibitive. We welcome your large group!
