Studio that feels like a home!
Very clean, quiet and tons of character! Everything you need and nothing you don't. Easy check in/out process and responsive host. Oh, and theres a small lake out back! Bang for the buck, this is an excellent choice!

Great stay
Great little place near everything. The room has a lot of character with a pond outside. The ballpark, breweries, and downtown aren't very far. I highly recommend a stay.
It was perfect for our needs, a hot plate would have made it perfect plus.

We had a wonderful time in Boise! We had everything we needed, including some extra snacks! We were only disappointed that we didn’t stay longer and get to use the kayaks. Thanks for allowing us time at your VRBO!

Cute and cozy
The property was so cute and clean! Plenty of amenities. Wish we had stayed longer than one night!
This property is INCREDIBLE!! There were just the two of us and I highly recommend for couples as the amenities are far greater than ANY hotel! We caught multiple large mouth bass, kayaked, enjoyed the hip decor and solitude this owner offers! Very safe the neighbor was great for information and checking on us. We had our own fishing gear, yet ALL gear is provided! The only downside, if any, is only a microwave and small one person oven. Perfect, for reheating leftovers and bagel bites!! All needs were met and their is even a little taste of Boise shop inside you can purchase something cute if interested. We will definitely be staying again! Thank You!!

Perfect little property
I absolutely loved this place. The location was very quiet and peaceful. You are right on the pond with kayaks handy. The condo was beautifully decorated and a plus was the blackout curtains though with the view from the front you almost want to keep them open. I would definitely recommend
Stay was great for a quick trip or possibly a work week. I will stay again.

Nice little place.
For one or two persons it's a quiet and semi-secludid spot right in the middle of all kinds of restaurants. You must try Merritt's for breakfast. Just across the road a short way down on your left as you leave the property. Be Hungry! Love to come back here in the summer and do some bike riding. I would recommend.
Will Definitely be coming back! The place is quiet, cozy, and super clean. It was like staying home, away from home. Area is nice, definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to travel, get away, try something new. Price is well worth it!
What an amazing little find. The entrance to the property sneaks up on you, but once you turn into the community, you go from busy street to a little nestled oasis. The small lake is very pretty with geese, ducks, and fish jumping. I woke up right at sunrise, made some coffee, and stood outside to a scene of a low fog on the lake, trees on the bank starting to lose their leaves, a picturesque house across the water with the morning sun on its windows and a hot air balloon in the early sky. I wish I could post the picture I took. It was a moment where you appreciate everything in life.
The room has so much character. I could tell the owner took a lot of pride in making my experience something special. From all the positive and motivational art on the walls to the cold filtered water, fresh ice, and snacks upon arrival. There was real care taken to make the place feel more than at home.
Such a nice little place. I sure hope it lasts. I will definitely stay there again when I travel to Boise!
Quaint, provides a much better option than a motel room!

Comfortable and thoughtful
The small studio was perfect for our 5 night stay. Everything was clean and comfortable with so many thoughtful amenities in a small space. Easy access to downtown Boise and not a far drive from anything. We’d stay here again if it’s available next time we’re in town.
