Loved our stay- would definitely recommend
Great cottage with a roomy feel. We brought our small dog and there’s plenty of great neighborhood walking and the small backyard is fenced. I’m petite and coat rack is very high up and the bathroom counter is high but those are minor things only those under 5’2” would notice. The big mirror in the bedroom is nice to have but set up for only viewing your legs unless you bend down, another minor issue. We happened to have our stainless steel camping pans with us so we didn’t need to use the scratched up non stick ones that are available. I drink loose leaf tea and like a tea kettle so our pans were handy to boil enough water for my own teapot. Another minor detail is that I have sleep issues and the bedroom drapes are gauzy- I always bring a sleeping mask along. Hard to tell which garbage/recycling cans go with the place since they were empty when we got there but we’re all full with other people’s stuff by the time we were emptying our trash. We were busy with our plans in the Boise area and loved staying here.
The one difference from the owner I should mention is that the instructions say to get inside to turn the little knob a certain direction and when you leave to turn it the other way- it is actually the opposite from the given directions- left means right and right means left.

Nice place, great neighborhood
My husband stayed here while visiting our daughter during the Boise State University's family weekend. He liked the neighborhood, easy walking to a lot of convenient places (including coffee). The house was perfect for his needs - only thing he mentioned was that he didn't notice a garbage can in the kitchen area. A great place to stay.
