We stayed here in August while moving our son into Boise State, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The location was ideal—close to campus, shopping, and downtown—while still being in a nice quiet neighborhood.The home was charming, clean, and comfortable, with everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped, the backyard was great for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. Check-in was smooth, and communication with the owners was excellent.The highlight for us was definitely the game room and backyard—there was some friendly basketball competition every night, which made for great family memories.Overall, this home was the perfect mix of convenience and comfort, and we’d happily stay again!

We had a great stay. The house and conditions were excellent. It felt like we were at our own home away from home. It was very clean, kitchen was well stocked with anything we might need. We enjoyed our evenings in the lovely backyard patio. Our dog enjoyed the spacious backyard. We had fun competitions in the game room. The location was in a central location to get to downtown Boise and also Meridian. Lindsay was a great host. This is a great find and we would love to stay again !

Fantastic
The house was lovely, clean and spacious. I was traveling with my husband, my sis and her four kids of all ages. We had a TON of fun in the little game room— mini dart tournaments and basketball games lol. It’s safe to say we spent multiple hours in there alone! The pet friendly backyard was huge and tidy as well! Will definitely go with this rental again if we come back to the Boise area.

Kirkwood Bench home
This home was perfect for our stay. It is nicely equipped for meals, coffee, family and a pet. We had fun playing corn hole and the games in the game room. The backyard is a perfect hang out space with picnic tables, fire pit, and the Oakley stone pathway is beautiful. The bottle of wine was a very nice addition as well. We really enjoyed our stay at this home.

Hidden gem in quiet neighborhood
Check in was easy and property was exactly as listed. Enjoyed the outside backyard, and the kids had so much fun in the game room. The location was close to everything we were doing in the valley over the weekend, and it was large enough to have family visit and eat dinner comfortably. Will probably book again if we visit Boise.

July 4th Weekend
We had a great stay over the July 4th holiday week! The house is well stocked with anything you might need, clean, and convenient to anywhere you want to go around Boise. We spent lot of time in the backyard after biking or floating the river, so the fire pit, cornhole boards, and picnic tables were a hit.

The Blue House
We recently stayed at this wonderful vacation rental and had an amazing experience!
Firstly, the location was ideal. It was close to attractions and restaurants but still in a peaceful area, allowing us to relax and unwind. The check-in process was smooth.
We were impressed by the attention to detail in every room. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary appliances and utensils. One of the highlights of our stay was the amenities provided. During our stay, it snowed so we were not able to enjoy the lovely backyard.
