Great place, bigger than expected

Had a great stay here, two adults and two kids. They still have the pull out couch and the Murphy bed plus king bed in the bedroom so each kid had a bed. Great kitchen (although we were only here one full day and didn’t end up cooking) including a nice spice rack. 9 year old played with the ax throwing game. We walked to the park where there is a skate park, dog park, splash pad, and amazing giant playground. HVAC works great, we were here in February so needed heat. Will be back!

5 days

Boise was one of our longest stops while traveling. The cottage was much better than a hotel as we were traveling with a dog. We spent majority of our time visiting with family and friends not too far from the cottage. It was nice to come back and relax.

In town for a few days with my 2 sons to visit friends. The place was very cute, super comfy for the 3 of us. The location was great; right by a nice park and easy to get to all the places we were going.

Pet Friendly

The place is a step back in time, with new flooring, We arrived after dark in a rainstorm and were glad to have shelter. We are not pet people, but I did not expect that much dog hair all over the house. We problem solved and used the pet friendly washer to get the dog hair out of our clothing, and the Robot floor cleaner to sweep the floors. The owners have been notified. I would have loved to give the place a perfect score. The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly to questions. It is more spacious than the pictures depict with good Wi-Fi. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible. Very Light traffic area. I would recommend the place to pet lovers.

Family Visit

We came to visit family. This home is located such that it was an easy drive to visit them. Very close to the airport—about 10 minutes. King bed is very comfy. Backyard space was nice and private. Jennifer was very communicative and responded quickly. We enjoyed our time in this home.

Nice Cottage

We were pleasantly surprised that the pictures represented the condition of the cottage correctly. It was very comfortable. We would suggest that the washer be cleaned and sterilized and the dryer lint tray be checked after each visitor. There was dog hair around the lid of the washer and the lint tray was packed. Also, leave better instructions on how to work the TV. Not everyone knows how to work such a complicated system. It would have been nice to have more coffee available and a box of kleenex. Just an FYI for the host, overall it worked great for us.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Property was close to restaurants, grocery, a nice park and entertainment, great location. We didn’t expect a lot for the price paid but there was a strong bleach or chemical smell the whole time we were there (2 days). Parking was also not great (large thorny bush over growing driveway that was easy to scratch car when pulling in and made it difficult for passengers getting in and out). We didn’t have a lot of dishes so not a big deal but there’s no dishwasher. There were also dryer sheets in all the vents adding to the smell. TV, bed and shower were nice. Wouldn’t stay again though.

Can't give review-never stayed

Wanted to stay. Arrived late. Tried the lock box code sent. Tried 10 times. Didn't work. Texted. No reply. Called. No answer. The house (lived next door) was dark - it was late. Didn't want to knock. Didn't know what to do. So, had to get a hotel. Communication the next morning was, "code was [this.] Don't understand where you got the other code." Showed her screen shots of where I got the info. No apology. But, did get my full refund. Not going to give a bad/great review cuz we never got to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jenn Yehle

I am a host that loves to host as much as I love to travel to other vacation rentals. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and have 3 children. We love to travel to beaches, lakes, hot springs and anywhere in nature. We love to host people in our cottage as it is close to town but gives us plenty of nature. Many guest will be fortunate to see baby geese, ducks and even occasional baby kittens. We are continually updating the cottage to have a warm and comforting place for out of towners to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Quiet older neighborhood in Boise, within 5-15 minutes to everything in Boise. We love the fact that we are so close to everything in Boise, but we still have the feeling of the country. Guests should look to stay at our cottage if they want a cozy cottage feel. We think the cottage is like a great pair of worn jeans, so comfy, and cozy.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything, without all the hustle and bustle of city life. Peaceful setting within minutes to anything in Boise.
