Upscale House for 17 with Firepit & Lovely Yard

Summary:

This house is made for large groups of up to 17 people. The spacious kitchen accommodates several cooks, and the dining table is for 10 people, with the option (and the chairs) to squeeze in 2 more. All beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses and pillows. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been completely remodeled with granite and tile. I bought this house in 2019 and have furnished it all new.

15 guests will have a real bed, 2 will have a queen size air mattress.



Guest Access:

You can use the house as well as the garage, as well as the backyard.



The Neighborhood:

The house is in a residential neighborhood and on a very quiet street. To Boise airport: 30 min. To Bogus Basin: 1 hr 10 min. To Eagle: 12 min. To Idaho Central Arena: 30 min. To Eagle Ada Sports Complex: 16 min. To Eagle Tennis Club: 14 min.



Getting Around:

You will definitely want to have a car.



Other Things to Note:

This house is owned by Sam Wenzel, owner and operator of Boise Vacation Rentals LLC. As you know, a professional host who manages their own rentals is the best of both worlds: professional management coupled with the care only an owner can bring to a property.



Interaction with Guests:

Our team is local to Boise and Meridian. We prefer efficient, streamlined communication. Time is our most valuable resource. The best way to interact with us is via SMS/Text. We will respond within the hour.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The house was beautiful, modern and clean. The host was welcoming through email and available.

No complaints besides one set of sheets missing from a bed, and we weren’t super clear on how to lock the door, but those were minor things that didn’t effect our stay much. It was overall the perfect place for our large, multi family group.

This home was cozy with plenty of space for all of us. It sits in a quiet little neighborhood and has a fantastic backyard. Yes, it's winter time, however, we enjoyed the fire pit and the covered back porch. There were plenty of dishes and all the pots/pans needed to cook our meals.
