Value-added:
Because we live next door were able to check the home before each guests arrival for cleanliness and address any minor issues (ie: burned-out light bulbs, missing supplies, etc). We do all the laundry using green, fragrant-free detergent. If there are any issues during your stay, were more than likely 1-minute away. Weve lived in Boise for over 20 years and would love to share any information we can during your stay.
