The Neighborhood:
The location is truly what makes this space unique. The Boise Foothills are the perfect getaway from the city and just a short walk through the VA campus will put you at the Military Reserve trailhead. Just south of the trailhead you will find the Boise Bike Park that offers terrain for riders of all levels. The trail system is expansive, so if you want to venture out even further, we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

After your ride in our lovely foothills, you can park your bike at the house and walk south down 6th street, through the Idaho Capitol campus, through Cecil Andrus Park, in front of Boise's historic post office and you will come to 8th Street, Boise's restaurant row (about a 10-minute walk). This is the City's hub for fine dining and your access point to Boise's iconic Freak Alley, the largest outdoor mural and graffiti gallery in the Northwest. A must see for any first-time visitor.

Getting Around:
Walk, Bike, Bike Shop Rental, ValleyRide (City Bus), Uber, Taxi, Lime, Spin & Bird electric scooters.

Other Things to Note:
*kid-friendly amenities available upon request - pack 'n' play and high chair. Please reach out to us before your stay if you would like to request any of these as they are limited in supply.

Interaction with Guests:
We live nearby and are happy to assist in any way we can. Feel free to reach out for any recommendations on local hiking and mountain biking trails, bike shops, restaurants, bars, breweries, or anything else. Just let us know :)

The VRBO is very well located near downtown Boise, in a quiet and lovely neighborhood. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was well appointed, including things you often don't get in a VRBO - like a dishwasher and garbage disposal. We would definitely stay there again.

Easily one of the cleanest properties in which I've stayed (and I am a 'neat-freak', so my bar is pretty high). Close / walking distance to tons of great cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops, museums, river walk etc.

short stay in Boise

Everything was exactly as expected- comfortable beds, an adequate kitchen. The location was perfect; we walked downtown several times. The floors were a bit creaky, but that was expected in a house this old. Thank you!

Great getaway for two

The old home was very charming. My wife and I stayed for four nights and enjoyed every minute of it, despite daily rain showers. We enjoyed our coffee each morning in the little nook and planned our day. Most days, we walked all over downtown and found all sorts of fun places to spend time. It's such a clean city. The owners checked on us via message and were exceptionally welcoming. When the time comes, we will return to this home again!

Had to cancel at last minute

Didn't stay there. VRBO said pet friendly. Property owner said no to pets. Was helping daughter move from New York with 2 pets to Washington State. We didn't notice property only took service animals until the day before. We had one service animal and one other pet.It was an expensive rental. Gave us $25 back. We felt ripped off.
