About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This is Boise's Gem!

Located just 1/2 mile southwest of BSU and the Morrison Center, Boise's Gem is perfectly situated for exploring Boise. Enjoy a short walk to several restaurants and a quick bike ride to the center of Boise's 25 mile long greenbelt. The home is close to the Historic Train Depot and downtown, offering convenience and charm.

Inside, you’ll find a super clean space with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Relax in style with the brand new 50" QLED Smart TV with complimentary Directv satellite cable with local channels, Netflix, Paramount+, and Prime video (tv wires are now hidden in the wall).

The quiet neighborhood ensures a peaceful stay, while central air conditioning keeps you comfortable during Boise’s hot summers.

With a private driveway and an electronic smart lock, you’ll have easy, secure access with each guest receiving your own code.

Super cute cottage that was clean, well-stocked, comfortable, close to downtown, yet quiet. Hosts were very communicative and seem to think of everything you might need when visiting. Kitchen is well-stocked with the basics and there are some toiletries and other things you might need in the bathroom. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area!
