Just what we needed!
The house was functional with plenty of space and natural light. It was also very quiet! I loved the kitchen as I was taking care of a relative post surgery and cooked a great deal. The master shower was a real blessing to get her wheelchair into without any problems. James was very helpful and accommodating with all of our requests. We will come and stay again!

Excellent stay
We had a fantastic stay at James'place! The house was big with lots of windows and plenty of rooms to hang out with family. The kitchen has everything imaginable which made it easy to use so we didn't need to go out to eat. We especially enjoyed the large backyard where we spent most of our time. His property is adjacent to a beautiful park with a public swimming pool. James communicated well and was available to us if we needed anything. A five star stay!

Amazing Home!
We had a wonderful stay in Boise! The home was fabulous. Everything was extraordinarily clean and communication with the host was excellent. The kitchen had everything you could want and more. This was probably the best stocked kitchen we have ever had in a vacation rental. The pantry staples (spices and oil) made cooking easy. The backyard was beautiful and it backs directly up to a nice park. I wish the weather had been just a bit warmer so that we could have enjoyed all the yard had to offer. The house itself was very spacious and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and having a washer and dryer meant we could pack light. James is a wonderful host and checked in via text multiple times during our stay. We would book this home again in a heartbeat. Top notch!

We were very impressed by how clean and tidy the home was. The kitchen was incredibly appointed with everything we could need, even more so than our kitchen at home!

We needed a place to stay while visiting family for Christmas. This house was perfect! Beautiful kitchen and master bathroom and nice furnishings throughout . They even decorated for Christmas which made us feel at home. Great location too. I would highly recommend this home for your next visit to Boise!

Fantastic House
Can’t say enough about how perfect this home was for us - four visiting adults and 2 local adults. First of all, it was immaculate. And then - Lots of room for us to congregate, eat, watch TV, do puzzles and play games. All the furniture including beds were very comfortable. Master bathroom was wonderful- heated floors, heated bidet commode, huge shower. We all commented many times that the kitchen was the most complete of any house we have ever rented - had everything we needed for 5 days of 6 adults preparing and eating holiday meals. We were so impressed with the refrigerator that we googled it to see details to purchase one for ourselves. The deck and yard looked great - too bad it was winter weather or we would have taken advantage. Communication with James was easy and helpful. In the end, whole family agreed that we would stay here again and recommend it with no hesitation. In fact we’d buy the place if we could!

James’ place was so wonderful, clean, spacious and perfect for us. Very well cared for, well equipped, and fun touches throughout - plenty of cookware, kitchen essentials(cooking spray, spices, Keurig pods), board games, PlayStation, cornhole/bags set, and shower essentials in each bathroom. I can’t say enough about this place, it was just perfect. A beautiful, serene back deck and yard with mature well-kept landscaping.

One of the best places we have stayed in.
Everything about this property was one of the best we have ever stayed in. The house was absolutely the best in every detail, the furnishing, the kitchen and cooking supplies, the outside space for enjoying the great outdoors, the fenced back yard, the birds and squirrels who entertained us, the children who we heard enjoying the playground behind the house. I can not think of anything that could have made out stay any better. We were there to see our granddaughter graduate from medical school and we will not have a reason to again visit. But it was truly one of the most enjoyable stays we have ever had, and we have traveled a lot in both the US and Europe. I would suggest you try this Vrbo when you are in Boise.

Great Place to Stay!
We have stayed at many short term rental properties but this was by far the best experience yet! The home is so well equipped (fully stocked kitchen, hair dryer, shampoo and body wash, board games etc). The backyard is amazing! Comfortable seating, with flowers, squirrels and birds chirping while you drink your morning coffee! And a BBQ and corn hole for afternoon fun! Also, it is located very close to campus and downtown. The home is immaculate and the owner was great to work with!
