Best Western Northwest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"All was well here!"

2 King Beds - The Boise Bungalow - Boise, BSU, Airport, Boise Aquatic Center

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed staying at Boise Vrbo. Super clean, quiet and comfortable. I loved the kitchen especially. All needed items were there! Also so nice to have the park so close, we walked our dog there every morning and evening. She made some fun doggie friends If there’s another swim meet in Boise we’ll make sure to book this place again!Thank you!"

"Home was as described."

Elegant Boise River Home at Bown Crossing with Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"The good: House was very clean. Equipped with everything you could ever need. Very quite andPeaceful. Perfect location and Close To Downtown. Great Restaurants literally a block Away. Communication with host was immediate. Didn’t use the hot tub but did see a pool/ spa service company show up while we were there so that’s a good Sign. Back deck was as if we were staying in the country, not in a city. The negatives: Master bedroom Was locked and unusable. Staying in the small guest bedroom in a queen wasn’t ideal. Refrigerator was full of someone else’s food (including leftovers) which was interesting to say the Least. It’s a good thing we didn’t have groceries to Put away because there wouldn’t have been Room. Garage was unusable due to a vehicle in the garage and a large amount of home furnishings, etc on shelves and the Floor. If you’re A Couple looking for a place to Relax in peace and a few nice restaurants in walking distance…This is the place."

Mountainside Luxury Entertainer | Game Room & Deck

10/10 Excellent

"Malibu Manor is now part of our core memories as we stayed there while moving our oldest son into BSU. You are greeted with a neon Welcome to Boise sign as you enter, with an Instax instant camera available for selfies/group pics at the sign and index cards to write your story to pin on the wall to share and inspire future guests. Fun variation on the typical guest log at a rental home. It gives an immediate welcoming vibe to see all that others have celebrated or done while staying there. The neighborhood is quiet but excellent for morning or evening walks, and for those up for extra adventure, take an early morning trek up through the neighborhood and hike The Tram Trail. Tough hike, but such gorgeous views…100% worth it! The property was not lacking for furnishings and the rooftop balcony made for an excellent place to watch sunsets. The game room was a fun distraction and opportunity for friendly(ish) competition. We have future trips to Boise and would definitely stay here again, if we can get the reso! 10/10."

Private game room, fire pit, and hot tub overlooking the foothills + just minutes from downtown Boise
