About this property

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.

For the Kids
At the Chalet you will find children's dishes and utensils, an assortment of toys and books, and a Pack and Play that you are welcome to make use of during your stay. Our grandchildren are generous and don't mind sharing (we love spoiling them and your kids too).

Guest Access
The entire house is accessible with the exception of master bathroom closet, downstairs bedroom storage cabinets and the garage. A covered carport is available for guest use.

The Neighborhood
Nestled in a quiet little valley, meadow homes dot the area. The Chalet has a clear view of the surrounding mountains from the open living areas many windows, sitting on the front deck or while soaking in the hot tub. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of our valley or venture out to play, depending on the season with hiking, boating, fishing, hot springs, or winter sports all a relatively short drive away.

Getting Around
The Boise airport is 30 minutes away and serves most of the major airlines. Car rentals are conveniently available. A car is needed to get around and explore the area. 4 wheel drive and/or chains are necessary during the winter months. The nearest major grocery store is located in Boise, so be sure to stop and get groceries before heading up the mountain.

Short Anniversary Getaway

Perfect little retreat in a beautiful home on the mountainside. Loved waking up to the serene beautiful of nature and the mountains with the smell of pines trees, crisp mornings, and fresh air. Absolutely what the soul needed and for this couple to reconnect.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Shari n Tim Eckstrom

Host profile image
Tim and I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, fishing, golfing and skiing; making this home the perfect launching place for our adventures. We also love to travel and explore new places, which is why our home is now available for you to enjoy. We've decided to share our little piece of heaven instead of keeping it all to ourselves. It's been a peaceful refuge for us and our hope is that it will be for you as well.

Tim and I have been sharing our home with Airbnb and HomeAway for over a year now and have loved the diversity of guests we have hosted.

Why they chose this property

Idaho is one of our country's best kept secrets. The area around Boise is rich in beauty, with quiet streams, beautiful mountains and abundant wildlife. There are places nearby to hike, fish, play in the water or play in the snow depending on the time of year. The scenic drives are amazing. The Sawtooth mountains soar nearby and are a wonderful day trip. Idaho City, an old mining town, has a wonderful hot springs to soak cares away.

At the Chalet I enjoy waking to the freshness of the mountain air and the sounds of Elk nibbling on the grass below my bedroom window in the spring and summer. I have also been known to take a glass of wine onto the deck to watch the moon come up over the mountains. The tranquility restores both body and spirit.
