Cozy Cottage

The cottage is just great for a few guests. It was clean, quiet, and equipped with everything you would need. The description on the website was exactly how it is. It is in a location that is close to main roads that take you into Boise and Meridian. I would stay there again.

Great place, bigger than expected

Had a great stay here, two adults and two kids. They still have the pull out couch and the Murphy bed plus king bed in the bedroom so each kid had a bed. Great kitchen (although we were only here one full day and didn’t end up cooking) including a nice spice rack. 9 year old played with the ax throwing game. We walked to the park where there is a skate park, dog park, splash pad, and amazing giant playground. HVAC works great, we were here in February so needed heat. Will be back!

Pet Friendly

The place is a step back in time, with new flooring, We arrived after dark in a rainstorm and were glad to have shelter. We are not pet people, but I did not expect that much dog hair all over the house. We problem solved and used the pet friendly washer to get the dog hair out of our clothing, and the Robot floor cleaner to sweep the floors. The owners have been notified. I would have loved to give the place a perfect score. The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly to questions. It is more spacious than the pictures depict with good Wi-Fi. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible. Very Light traffic area. I would recommend the place to pet lovers.

Boise was one of our longest stops while traveling. The cottage was much better than a hotel as we were traveling with a dog. We spent majority of our time visiting with family and friends not too far from the cottage. It was nice to come back and relax.

Nice Cottage

We were pleasantly surprised that the pictures represented the condition of the cottage correctly. It was very comfortable. We would suggest that the washer be cleaned and sterilized and the dryer lint tray be checked after each visitor. There was dog hair around the lid of the washer and the lint tray was packed. Also, leave better instructions on how to work the TV. Not everyone knows how to work such a complicated system. It would have been nice to have more coffee available and a box of kleenex. Just an FYI for the host, overall it worked great for us.

Can't give review-never stayed

Wanted to stay. Arrived late. Tried the lock box code sent. Tried 10 times. Didn't work. Texted. No reply. Called. No answer. The house (lived next door) was dark - it was late. Didn't want to knock. Didn't know what to do. So, had to get a hotel. Communication the next morning was, "code was [this.] Don't understand where you got the other code." Showed her screen shots of where I got the info. No apology. But, did get my full refund. Not going to give a bad/great review cuz we never got to stay.
