Well overall not a bad stay, but we ran into a few issues. We did reach out to the property owner before leaving a review and all we got was a “Thank You”. Not looking for a refund, but perhaps a little more of a response considering we gave the opportunity to do so before the review.
First would be the ac. They had two ac units that had to run 100% of the time we were there. I get it if the home is older and I understand that Boose is hot. However the unit above the bed had the “clean filter” light on. And it wasn’t lying. The filter was packed and the coils were packed. All right above your head in the bed. Probably not helping the efficiency.
Next, there was 1 bath towel for the whole place. They are listed as being available in the ad. At that rate it was shoved in the top of the closet.
Bikes are also listed in the ad and they need some attention. Had to pump the tires u, not a huge deal. However the fender was falling off so not a great ride.
They also have a grill listed and that is also not available.
There are two windows that have zero shades. Clear shot into the entire unit minus the bathroom. So not a lot of privacy on the aspect.
Location was convenient and easy access to DT Boise. Ann Morison park is 100% worth checking out.
Was it the worst stay ever? No. Would I recommend. No. Owner just doesn’t seem to be too attentive. Again we tried to give the feedback before hand but I think the lack of response reflects the lack of attention to this s.

We stayed over night at this cute little pad and it was wonderful. We just wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back to visit. We love that it was doggie friendly and we brought our 10month old.

I really enjoyed my week long stay here. The cottage is small and cozy. Comfortable bed and linens. Nice thoughtful decor and all the amenities you would hope for.
Communication with the host was perfect. I didn’t have any issues that needed attention but Alicia checked in before during and after through the VRBO App so I felt well cared for.
It was over 100° each day and the cottage gets a lot of direct sun, but inside stayed comfortable with dual a/c units running.
The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet, and everything felt close by and within a short drive.
Great experience and highly recommended!

I love Boise and it was great to have such a cute spot to stay in on our way through. Really loved the refurbishment of the home, normally I dislike the boring-ification of old homes, but the fixtures, decor, and setup was really nicely done- I love the color, the gold fixtures, and the wood! Refreshing to stay in a place with some classy character! The backyard is lovely and was a great place for our pups to stretch their legs, and if we were there longer we would've loved to use the bikes and other things provided to guests. My one feedback/ qualm is that it would be great to have blinds/ curtains on *all* windows. There is a window over the kitchen counter/ table by the back door that looks straight at the bed and it made me uncomfortable to not be able to really close out the eyes of neighbors. Otherwise, great spot and would definitely stay again!

We would have really given this a great rating on “cuteness”, but there were a couple of key things that really made the stay less than ideal. First, the place is a studio and two windows had no window coverings which let in lots of morning light and allowed an uncomfortable direct view into the bed area from the side of the house. The other thing was the bedding was better suited for winter - flannel sheets and down comforter. It was 101 degrees one day and the portable air conditioner could not cut that heat. Even after running it all afternoon we had to go to bed at 11:30 and it was 86 degrees in the room. Unbearable. Sorry to say, we wouldn’t rent this again…

Pros: Location. Close to everything we wanted to do. Camel’s back hike, Greenbelt, great dog park at Ann Morrison park, ice cream spot down the street and a Fred Meyer’s within minutes. Dog friendly, very appreciative of this. The bed was very comfortable and there were nice touches in the bathroom like soap, shampoo, conditioner, feminine hygiene products, razors, toothbrushes/paste, qtips, etc. Host was responsive with the issues that we had while staying which was appreciated.
Cons: there was trash left on the heater/fireplace when we first arrived (not a big deal, but would have expected it to be fully clean upon arrival), everything else was clean so maybe they just forgot to take it out? Traveled with my dog and she loved the backyard, however, I found several decent sized shards of broken glass in the yard. I am very thankful my dog did not cut her paws on them. The neighbor played drums every day we were there which was annoying when we were not out and about, but the biggest issue was that they continued until 11 to midnight each night. Had to file a noise complaint with the police department. The host, did say she would talk to the neighbors to prevent this in the future which is good. Personally not a fan of the no shoe rule and no eating or drinking on the furniture. The space is very small so when going from the front door to the backyard I’d like to be able to keep my shoes on (knowing if it leaves dirt or anything I would clean it up).

Cozy, clean , nicely styled home close to river green belt. Perfect for my husband and me- and our dog who enjoyed the fenced backyard.

The cottage was super clean and decorated so cute. The owner was very helpful and quick to communicate. Only negative thing, I wish there was a traditional or Keurig coffee maker.

It was a little time consuming getting access, but the accommodation was very clean. I did not appreciate the camera in the front and back of the house. If you sat outside the owner could watch and probably listen to our conversations.

This is our second stay at this property and we literally compare other rentals to this one whenever we stay elsewhere. It's spotless and has everything we need, including a big backyard for our dog. And proximity to cute downtown Boise is great. Also a safe and nice neighborhood. The host is so sweet and helpful. 100% recommend!

Alicia is a terrific host! She stayed in touch to make sure our stay was the best possible. The cottage is a confy and cozy retreat after spending time checking out the sites and hanging with family. Alicia, her cottage and Boise ROCKS!

This cottage was comfy & cozy and perfect for our needs. The bed was comfortable, the neighborhood was walkable & it was just a short drive to BSU, local parks & downtown. There is even a little book library across the street. Thank goodness there was A/C because it was in the high 90’s the whole time we were there. Great amenities & great backyard for a night cap & listening to the crickets. We would totally stay here again!

Bed was very comfortable, large fridge, plenty of kitchen utensils and nice furnishings. It was a very hot day so the little window A/C had to work hard and was loud but really appreciated the relief from the heat.
Would gladly stay again and recommend it to others.

This was a wonderful place to stay with our dog. The cottage is close to the downtown and to the green belt along the river. The backyard was perfect for our dog and the neighborhood is pretty and quiet. Bonus: the cottage is beautifully decorated by someone with excellent taste and a flair for anticipating what you might need. Examples: Q-tips in the bathroom; assorted spices in the kitchen; espresso machine. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed!

Lovely, cozy, and well maintained. The yard is secure and safe for dogs. One dog on the other side of the back fence who will bark, fyi in case you have a dog sensitive to that. Quiet street. Two ac units kept it cool in June. We would stay again!

We were in Boise for a wedding and stayed for 4 nights. We brought our dogs and took them to the very large dog park at beautiful Ann Morrison park just around the corner each day to run and play. The property has a huge backyard which is fenced. The house is small but very well appointed and has everything you need. Super comfortable and clean. Highly recommend.
