“What a great location! We walked EVERYWHERE!! We received excellent communication, service and understanding regarding our circumstances. Thank you, Daniel. We also appreciate Clayton who facilitated communication to Daniel for us. We can't wait until our next adventure and stay. The Treetop Suite is very nice.”
“Clean, quiet, and close to everything! Boise Guest House was everything we were looking for while spending a week in Boise. The “Travel Suite” was perfect for our family (2 adults and 1 child); yet we still had room for more if needed! We could walk to dozens of close restaurants, bars, and attractions as well as still being a minute drive from major roads to take us anywhere in Boise in 15 minutes. Daniel was extremely helpful while booking and for the odd items we needed during our stay. We will 100% stay here again during our next visit - wish we could live here full time!”
“We planned to stop in Boise on our drive from Seattle to Salt Lake City. We loved the Boise Guesthouse so much we returned a week later on our way home. On our first visit, we stayed in the Animal Studio, and on our second we stayed in the Travel Suite. The accommodations were stylish, clean and comfortable. The back courtyard is a great place to grill and hang out. A convenient walk to 8th St eateries. Every morning we walked to the greenbelt and enjoyed the river views. We will be back for sure!”
“Think of this place as a vacation rental, but one that pays the appropriate hotel taxes. It's zero contact: no front door, various codes to get into the house and rooms, etc. Our room had a little balcony which was nice to eat breakfast on. The kitchen was just fine: had what we needed to make breakfast. And the location was great: 10 minute walk to downtown and restaurants, etc. No elevator and no onsite staff so if you're upstairs, plan on carrying your stuff up yourself. We really liked it!”
“Good location. Nice to have a kitchen for the price. I thought it was pretty good. There's no check-in or anything. It's like an Airbnb. You're just on your own. There were a few maintenance issues. Bike tires were flat. So your mileage may vary”
“My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Boise Guest House, and could not have been happier. The property is beautiful. The location is perfect, well within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, activities, and the River Greenbelt. Chris and Lois went above and beyond to make sure our stay was outstanding. We stayed in the "Travel Suite." It was roomy, well furnished, and has an enclosed back patio area that feels like a retreat. We enjoyed bringing our meals in or cooking in the kitchen, and sitting near the fountain outside for dinner. What a relaxing stay.”
