About this property

Contemporary Log Guesthouse with Sauna: Historic North End - Perfect for Couples

The Wooden House is a spacious almost 900 square foot urban retreat in the heart of the North End. This getaway is a perfect balance of industrial and cozy warmth. Walk, scooter, or Uber to Hyde Park and downtown from this quiet hideaway. In the warmer months, open the bay door to let the outside in. When it’s cooler the radiant floor heat will keep your toes toasty and when it gets warmer, you can cool down with the a/c. If you want more heat, turn the sauna on and have a sweat. Extra large bedroom with comfortable queen bed and additional lounge space on 2nd floor. Please note that because we share the backyard space & we have a dog, we cannot accept bookings from those with service animals. We, for security reasons, have two outdoor cameras at each entry. We are designers…and this is a special place that we have put love & care into. It’s not a generic house managed by a big property management company. You’ll see like so many of our past guests. Looking forward to hosting you!

Everything you want a VRBO to be

Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, great location. We were able to walk to Hyde Park every morning to get coffee and breakfast sandwiches and Uber rides to downtown and other points of interest were short and reasonably priced. The sauna is a great additional amenity.

Under the Atlas

The property is beautiful and it was a delight to stay here. It was well designed and appointed nicely. Danielle, Derek and Veera were great hosts. It was quiet and felt like a little oasis in the middle of Boise. We loved the Sauna and the Atlas Cedar they provided a great deal of comfort.
