Family visit in Meridian

The communication was a 10, and the house was exactly what I hoped for. Clean, had everything needed to accommodate a good stay. And the number one thing is a comfortable bed that makes sleeping easy. And this had all those things and more.Location close to grocery shopping is another plus. Thank you to Kelly for making the stay a plus. I will definately ask to be able to stay upon a return visit!

Native becoming a tourist!

Our stay was incredible!! It was suppose to be a girls trip and then turned into a family trip. The house was more than accommodating for us as well as my son and had all the necessities and more. It was so cozy and comforting after a long day of traveling and exploring. The house had outdoor games that my son could go run around the fenced backyard area and play and get his energy out. It was the perfect, and will definitely be using as a go to when returning!

What a sweet property! We were about 15 minutes from the BSU campus. Easy jump on and off the freeway. Convenient location! This property has everything you need. It's well stocked. Wonderful washer and dryer. Cute backyard. You truly can't go wrong with this property. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cozy Blue Sky Retreat

We enjoyed this little home. By far one of the best places we have stayed yet. The home was well equipped with games and pretty much everything you could imagine. Cozy, quiet and was perfect for us. We did some site seeing and this offered the best place to go after a long day away.

Excellent house!!!

My 13-year-old son and I came to Boise for a junior national Pickleball tournament and stayed at this adorable house. It was fantastic. It had everything we needed to cook meals and rest comfortably after the long days at the tournament. The Location is fantastic for enjoying the area. The house is beautifully decorated, and every last little detail has been thought of. My only complaint would be that the beds are excessively soft and while some may like a soft mattress i prefer a firm mattress, but that is just my preference not truly a complaint. Fantastic VRBO and we will for sure stay here again next time we return to Boise.

Wonderful time in Meridian!

My son and I loved staying at the home. We used it as our home base for adventures all around. Wahooz, fishing, skateparks, hiking and biking. We loved the coziness of the home and it was perfect for our time together. We hope to stay here again next time in Idaho.

Wonderful home in a great location

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay and I would highly recommend this property to anyone that is interested. Everything was clean and well kept. We enjoyed the comfort and convenience of staying in this home. We were in town for a baseball tournament and we were 5 minutes from the fields and almost everything else we needed. It was very nice to come back to this home after a long day at the ballpark and build a fire in the back yard and relax. As mentioned above, this home is well kept and organized. Everything was easy to find and the checkout process was clearly laid out. If the opportunity presented itself I would definitely stay here again as it was so much better than a hotel.

Very nice

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was Nicely decorated and clean loaded with extras. And outdoor patio area that was very relaxing. Little bit more traffic on the street than we would have liked but being in the house it was very quiet. We slept great and enjoyed the Hershey kisses with.

Wonderful little gem

This is one of the best stocked rental homes we have ever stayed. Everything I could possibly have forgotten was thought of. Even tho house was close to a busy road, inside was quiet and could barely hear the traffic. House was also in a great location to everywhere we needed to be. Only negative was we didn’t have time to enjoy the great backyard with fire pit, they provided the wood too.

Wonderful little spot

We got married around the corner from this VRBO and were looking for a place to do a small rehearsal the night before. I messaged the owner and she replied so quickly and said they love to host there and it would be no problem. We had 4 total sleep over for a slumber party that night after the rehearsal and it was so much fun to have girls night. The property was so cute and cozy, we all fit comfortably. Definitely recommend!

Nice, peaceful home

The house was just as described plus more! It had everything we needed for our family stay and was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The house is right off a busy road, but noise wasn't too much of a problem. The large backyard was such a fun escape for my kids! Very lovely. Just a few things to consider for the owner...a kettle for us tea drinkers would have been nice. A screendoor for the backdoor to be left open would let that lovely light in, plus allow parents to meep an eye on kids outside. The bedrooms were so lovely and comfortable, but bright in the early morning...perhaps consider some blackout curtains? Thank you for the stay! It really was lovely.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Evans

Our son and daughter in law moved to Boise a year ago. After a visit over the summer, we decided that we wanted to be able to spend more time in this beautiful place with our family. We had been spending a fortune to squeeze into a drab hotel room and longed for something with some personality where we could entertain friends and family, cook, play games, spend time outdoors and relax in a pretty space. We were so excited to find this little home and refurbish every single surface to make it ours! Sharing it with guests is how we can afford this gem, so please tell your friends about us. We hope our guests feel as "at home" here as we do.

Why they chose this property

Because it was available!! Boise is such a hot market, so when we saw this amazing location, we jumped on it. We worked tirelessly to clean it up and make it pretty, and we LOVE how it all came together. It is the perfect size for a get-away. Our other son will move to Boise next year and we see ourselves living in the area one day in the future, so this is a great start for us.

What makes this property unique

Our next door neighbor happens to be a yummy coffee shop! And we love being able to bike to the Meridian Main Street Market on Saturdays starting in the spring, or any of the restaurants/shops on Main street during the rest of the year!
