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!

Wonderful property and hosts. They greeted us, very welcoming. Especially there dog. Definitely need to come back here again for a quick get away! Also the sauna was lovely!
This was one of the nicest places we’ve stayed. The hostess was fantastic, fast response to concerns or questions. Even gave us ideas on what areas to look while we were in town
Such a wonderful and relaxing stay. The property was impeccable and comfortable. We loved the decor. The sauna was fantastic after skiing all day. The location is extremely convenient. We will definitely stay again when we return to Boise!
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.
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.
Comfortable log cabin tucked in an alley in a wonderful neighborhood. The cabin has great amenities. Owners decorated with eclectic detail. Short walking distance to Hyde Park 13th Street Shops. Awesome first time visit to Idaho!
Oh my gosh!! If they will have us again, we would love it! The Cabin gorgeous! We are amateur photographers and did a little photo shoot here. It was PERFECT! thank you so much for our relaxing stay! Haunted World was awesome too!
We had a wonderful stay! Everything was very clean and we weee very comfortable! Would highly recommend! We will be coming back to stay here again for our next visit to Boise!!!
The Wooden House is uniquely designed and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and the attention to detail. House was very clean and the owners friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Have stayed here several times and hope to come back. The Wooden House is very clean, cozy, uniquely designed/decorated and within walking distance of nearby restaurants, stores and great outdoor spots. Lovely hosts who truly want you to have a great experience/stay.
Very nice place. Tons of areas to hang out and they did a great job putting it all together, feels homelike. Moccamaster coffee pot was awesome. Washer and dryer were convenient to have on site. Really enjoyed the stay.
