A 550 sq ft outbuilding serves as the 3rd bedroom and includes 2 queen beds (one is a futon). Please note there is no bathroom in the outbuilding.

Perfect Home, Location & Neighborhood
We loved everything about our stay at this property. Easy access for morning trail walks just out the backyard, lots of privacy, and plenty of space. Many extras available in the home for cooking, laundry, games and comfort. We loved the multiple sitting areas and the cleanliness. Close to downtown and BSU, easy route to airport. Close and attentive hosts. Thank you!

Great Home
I have never stayed in a vrbo as well stocked as your home was. Everything we wanted was available. Do you plan at some point to put a bathroom in your guest house? That would have made it perfect. Your neighbor was very helpful when my phone number didn't work.

Terrific Boise Property
We stayed at this lovely house for BSU Parent’s Weekend. Although we didn’t have the time to fully enjoy all this beautiful home and area has to offer it was a great stay. This home is beautifully done and has everything you will need. We met one of the hosts and he was very nice and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. The beds were super comfortable. Large living room and comfy sectional to kick back and watch tv. The view out the back was awesome. The trail can be accessed right behind the property for a great bike ride or long walk. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Foothills Home
This is a fabulous property to rent in Boise. The location is close to downtown in a very good neighborhood. The house is spacious with hiking, biking and walking paths accessible from the back yard. The house is well stocked with cooking and bedding supplies. The pictures are worth a 1,000 words.

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Lynn Stott

Host profile image
My wife Lynn and I landed in Boise back in 1998 and love everything Boise and the state of Idaho offer up. We love to play and travel and most of our adventures center around human-powered activities. We enjoy floating rivers, backcountry ski tours, extended mountain bike tours, and put great stock in staying physically active.

We also enjoy international travel, immersing ourselves in cultures new to us and all the while creating new and lasting relationships with folks we meet along the way!

Why they chose this property

The property is located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Boise. Very quiet, yet only a mile+ to downtown. Head out the back gate for hiking and mountain biking. Quarry View Park is 1/4 mile down the street (or out back down the trail) and includes tennis courts, a basketball court, a kids jungle-gym, BBQs, picnic tables, bathrooms, and a large field for soccer, football, etc (Google 'Quarry View Park' for more details).

The nearest golf course is less than a mile away. The main Boise public swimming pool is within walking distance, about 3/4 mile away (Google 'Boise Natatorium' for details).

The Boise Greenbelt is 1/4 mile away from the home. Here you can run, bike, or hike in either direction for miles (40+) along the Boise River. You can also tube or raft in the summer months down the Boise River. Tube rental is about 5 miles away (Google: Boise River Raft and Tube). FYI, we would provide links to all these great places to explore, but VRBO does not allow this :(

The heart of downtown is 1.5 miles away making it close to the action, yet quiet for a relaxing evening on the outside patio overlooking open space.

What makes this property unique

A unique benefit of this property is the exterior unit out back used as additional sleeping quarters. Although it does NOT have bathroom facilities, it's a great separation of space for kids or adults. It serves as the third bedroom for this property. It's equipped with a queen bed and queen futon along with an armoire for hanging clothes. Just added is a sectional for lounging. There is a ductless heating/cooling unit, as well as a wood-burning stove. It's a very cozy space.
