Cozy Mountain Getaway with Scenic Views, Abundant Wildlife and Hot Tub

The Boise Chalet Mountain retreat is a short 35 minute drive from Boise but feels as if a world away. Feel your cares fade with the first whiff of fragrant pine as beautiful mountains come into view. A perfect romantic get-away or family gathering place.

Our mountain retreat is sure to be a cozy, comfy home away from home. The Chalet is set overlooking an idyllic small mountain home community.

The main living area is a typical chalet style with kitchen, living room and dining room all in one open space. Perfect for family gatherings.

Pour a cup of coffee In the morning and catch a glimpse of our resident grazing elk or take a seat on the front deck, glass of wine in hand, and watch the moon rise up over the mountains.

The kitchen is well supplied with all the equipment you need for whipping up a hearty breakfast, picnic lunch, or a gourmet dinner. Complete with the picnic basket if you so desire.

Not worth the money
The place was full of flies and bugs, so I spent the first 3 hours killing flies and there was some sort of infestation of some little bugs, not exaggerating but killed dozens in a a couple of hours, the bed sheets were stinky, sane as the extra blanket. The place is located in a beautiful area! But the cabin needs a little more attention from the owner.

Perfect getaway cabin
Our stay couldn’t have been better! The owners are super nice and responsive, and the cabin itself was perfect. It’s about 30 min to Boise, so relatively close to town. The mountains in which it is situated are lovely, and we were able to hike every day and see tons of wildlife. Plus it is close to some hot springs. We are going to book this one again for sure!

Gorgeous View
Stayed 3 nights with my three sisters for a sister's trip. We get together every year since we live some distance apart. We are all over 60, so the stairs were a little bit a challenge for us, but we managed as I knew stairs would be involved. We only encountered one main issue. On our final full day, the weather turned rainy and somewhat cold. The cabin was cold and we were unable to adjust the heat and the gas stove did not work. I'm assuming the gas was not yet turned on for the season, so us four older ladies were a bit uncomfortable for a day. Other than that, we did enjoy the cabin and our time together. Thanks for letting us stay and spend some sister time in a beautiful setting.

Amazing place
Very clean, nice place, great neighborhood. I will say this is in a subdivision in the mountains. I thought you'd have a little more privacy, but your neighbors are right there. Very nice, quiet place. Everyone was very nice that lived close. You will see elk daily in the mornings. Very great place.

Great Getaway
This is a nice cabin about 30-35 minutes out of Boise. We enjoyed the hot tub and tranquil surroundings. We did see several deer and even a turkey. If you want some quiet time away from the city, with access to the city, this place is great.
