This was a great spot to stay - close to downtown, but perfectly far enough away as well. Nice clean house. Quiet. Comfortable beds. Good sized kitchen with everything we needed to cook. Not one complaint from us... Gary and Lynn live right next door and are great folks to know ; ) We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Gary and Lynn are the most gracious hosts, so friendly and sweet to our kids. They live right next door so are always available, and are genuinely great people. The home is gorgeous with great updates, and feels brand new. It is so spacious and beautiful, and we enjoyed the hiking trail right outside the backyard. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and friendly, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. When we are in Boise we will for sure book Gary and Lynn's place again. Thank you both!

We had the pleasure of staying in Boise while working at a local high school. We chose this home because it looked beautiful and was close to the airport. We were not disappointed!! First, this neighborhood is quiet and seems very safe. There’s a trail right outside the back gate that allows for a wonderful walk. We saw lots of families and dogs on this trail - enjoying one another and that alone made my heart happy. Inside - oh my stars! The flooring in this home is one of the most beautiful hardwoods I’ve ever seen. I’ve traveled extensively and the touches of this home could easily be associated with extremely expensive homes. It’s just gorgeous. The beds were all super comfortable and bedrooms were well appointed. Linens were high quality, soft, clean, and smelled good. Very peaceful colors. The master bath was fantastic. The shower in there rivals any spa. Beautiful stone work. Kitchen was well appointed and had anything you could possibly need to cook any meal. I loved preparing meals and it’s open concept so I felt very connected to my family while cooking. We didn’t get to use the yard much due to weather. However they have a fire pit and gas grill that I’m sure would be a great place to make s’mores or just hang out. There was also a glass top table where you could eat outside. Laundry area was pristine as was the rest of the house. Our hosts were fantastic. They offered a book with detailed instructions on every thing you would use in the house. I really appreciate that since appliances and TV systems vary so and it was easy to understand with their help. They were gracious and answered questions quickly. This was our first time visiting Boise. It will hopefully not be our last. We loved it here. When we return - I hope to stay here. I’d give 10 stars if possible!!

Notes
Walk to Outlaw Field for summer concerts. The 2018 schedule includes Barenaked Ladies, Sheryl Crow, Jackson Browne, Chris Isaak, ZZ Top, Amos Lee, Steve Miller Band, Rebelution, and Avett Brothers. Check the 'Idaho Botanical Gardens' website for more details (sorry, Airbnb does not allow us to provide links). If sold out, there are always last-minute tickets available via Craigs-List. The home location is hiker/runner/mountain biker's delight, with access to trails from the back gate. Endless walking, running, hiking, and mountain bike trails abound. From a 30 minute hike over Castle Rock with views of the entire city to a 200-mile mountain bike ride to Garden Valley (yes, all on trails and/or dirt road). A 5-mile round-trip hike, with 1000 foot gain, will take you to the top of Table Rock Mountain with more expansive views of Boise and the Greater Treasure Valley. Quarry View Park, 2 blocks away, offers a playground/jungle gym, tennis courts, and a basketball court. The Natatorium, a public outdoor swimming pool with a huge slide, is within walking distance (~1/2 mile). The garage is available for bikes, strollers, etc.
