Cozy
It was a cozy and quiet stay, I would stay again, however,I thought it was a one bedroom, I didn’t know it was an efficiency all in one,and to get in the driveway it was tight, but overall good stay.

Peaceful stay
We came up for the weekend for our sons college graduation and we’re looking forward to a quiet, relaxing visit. It was exactly what we were hoping! The place was small and quaint and we loved the set up. We’re actually inspired to do our kitchen in the same way!! If we decide to come to Boise again we’ll definitely be back here :)

Small and sweet
Perfect space for two people while in the Boise area. The place is charming. My husband and I loved it! It had all the amenities we needed even as a studio apartment. It felt large - the open floor plan gives it a roomy feel. The hosts are amazing and wonderful to work with.

Cozy Cottage
I had a great stay at this cozy little cottage. I was in town for a workshop and needed a place to stay within walking distance. This place was perfect and provided me with a nice daily walk. It was so nice to have a full kitchen for meals. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was tidy with a cool shower, and I loved the artistic sink. It was also great to be able to do laundry. One other huge perk of this location is that it is *so quiet.* I would definitely stay here again.
