Crofty Cottage Dog-Approved Boise Bench Charmer with Private Fenced Yard
Welcome to your home away from home in Boise!
This recently renovated 1-bedroom duplex offers a comfortable and convenient stay, just minutes from everything the city has to offer. You'll appreciate the modern touches, including hardwood floors, butcher block countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. The cozy living space features a spacious bedroom with a king-sized bed, a bright galley kitchen, a dining area for four, and a comfortable living room with a sectional sofa and Smart TV. There's also a dedicated workspace with a desk and fast internet, making it easy to stay connected.
Step outside and enjoy your private, fully fenced backyard, perfect for relaxing with your morning coffee or spending time with your dog. Parking is easy with a driveway for two vehicles and additional street parking available.
The neighborhood is conveniently located near downtown Boise, Boise State University, the airport, parks, restaurants, and shopping. It is an older, mixed-use area with a variety of housing styles and local businesses. Because the home is located on a busy street, you will hear traffic noise and the occasional siren from a nearby fire station. There is also a cell tower adjacent to the property that is visible from the yard and driveway.
If you're looking for a clean, comfortable home base with easy access to Boise's attractions, we think you'll feel right at home here.
We hope you have a wonderful stay in Boise!

Crofty Cottage is SO beautifully appointed and totally tidy!!Had I known it was right next to a cell tower and on SUCH a busyheavily trafficed corner, I would have kept looking....BUT host Sandy and wonderful cleaning team are superb :)
Sandy’s place was the perfect spot for our Boise vacation! It’s clean, in a great area, and has everything you need to be comfortable while you’re there.
This was such a great spot for the two of us and our dog and Sandy was a great and communicative host. Check in and access was incredibly easy, the cottage was exactly what we expected, and the small fenced yard was perfect for our dog.
The hosts were very communicative and friendly. The place was cozy, clean, and well stocked. They allowed pets which was very helpful for us. Just please respect thier rules.
This house is in a convenient location and is quiet and perfect for bringing the dogs. Everything was clean and super comfortable. Sandy was absolutely wonderful!
This cute cottage was exactly what we needed for our family celebration in Boise. Super clean with everything we needed, exactly how we needed it. The fenced backyard was safe and secure for our little pup and we really enjoyed our stay - thank you so much for sharing your home!
VRBO was perfect for our needs! Very clean, quaint, had all the necessities, and was in the perfect location.Owner was very responsive while booking, and checked in during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and make sure our stay was pleasant. Highly recommended. We would reach back out to check availability for our next visit to Boise!!
We had a great stay over the holiday while in town visiting family. This adorable house had everything you could need, was comfortable, clean and cozy! Will definitely stay again.
Very well-appointed and well-kept place. We appreciated the comfortable king bed, storage options for a longer stay, comfortable living room and dining room, and kitchen with all the amenities we needed.
This was a great rental property I have no complaints and it was clean, shaded, good internet and a wonderful overall experience!

About the host
Hosted by Sandy Sturgis
Hi, I'm Sandy!
My husband Eric and I have been hosting guests for over 25 years, and we genuinely enjoy helping people feel at home while they explore the places we love.
We split our time between the Oregon coast and Boise, Idaho, and are fortunate to host guests in both locations. Whether you're visiting for outdoor adventures, a family getaway, a road trip with your dog, or simply a chance to relax, we strive to provide comfortable, well-maintained homes with thoughtful touches and local recommendations.
We are pet lovers, avid travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts ourselves, so we understand what makes a stay enjoyable. Our goal is simple: clear communication, comfortable accommodations, and a welcoming experience from booking to checkout.
We look forward to hosting you and helping you make the most of your stay!
Why they chose this property
We originally purchased Crofty Cottage as a long-term rental, and one of the things we appreciated most about the location was its convenience. While this is not Boise's most upscale or quiet neighborhood, it offers easy access to just about everything.
The cottage is close to downtown Boise, Boise State University, the airport, shopping, restaurants, and several parks. Many guests enjoy being able to reach most destinations in just a few minutes and have groceries, meals, and other essentials delivered with ease.
Like many established Boise neighborhoods, you'll find a mix of well-kept homes alongside properties that are still being improved. The area is active and can be busy at times, but it provides an authentic look at everyday Boise life while keeping you close to the city's most popular attractions.
What makes this property unique
What makes Crofty Cottage special is that it feels like a real home rather than a generic rental. We take pride in keeping the property clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully equipped for guests.
One feature that sets the cottage apart is the fully fenced backyard. While cozy in size, it offers a comfortable outdoor space with grass and mature landscaping. Guests, especially those traveling with dogs, appreciate having a private yard to enjoy.
We've also worked hard to create a comfortable, practical space with a well-equipped kitchen, dedicated workspace, and inviting living areas. Our goal is to provide the kind of home where we would be happy to stay ourselves.
