About the host
Hosted by Michael Diaz
👋 Welcome to Idaho!
Hi, I’m Michael — my family and I host a few homes in the Boise & Meridian area. We moved here about 10 years ago, so we still remember what it’s like to arrive in Idaho not knowing your finger steaks from your ice cream potatoes 🍽️🥔 (yes, that’s a real thing!).
What you can expect:
• 🏡 Friendly, local hosting — before, during & after your stay
• 👨👩👧 Family-focused tips — we have young kids too!
• 📸 Personalized recommendations with photos
• ❄️🌲 Outdoor fun for every season — even snowshoeing!
Whether you’re visiting for adventure, relaxation, or family time, I’m here to make your stay amazing. Please reach out anytime — and thank you for supporting our small family business! ✨
