Perfect for Our Stay
This VRBO had everything we needed. It was a cozy home, and the hosts had some extra special touches that made us feel even more welcomed. We also had our dog with us for the trip, and they provided pet amenities that made traveling with her that much easier.

Excellent stay
This place was great for our four days in Boise. We were comfortable in the bed, used the kitchen as well as the outdoor grill and found the space well organized. It's a very convenient location. We spent a few hours riding the bikes on the greenbelt and another afternoon walking the other half of the greenbelt. Would not hesitate to recommend this rental.

Comfortable spot to stay
Nice place as a stop-over during our road trip. Murphy bed was a nice perk (and super comfortable!) for our family of three. Enjoyed the little outdoor patio in the evening and the Mrs. pac Man arcade machine was icing on the cake!

Gals concert roadtrip to Boise
We loved the neighborhood & location. The bungalow is lovely and provided everything we needed. So cleverly thought out and cute details. Hosts were so helpful advising us on how to make our visit to see a concert in Boise a fun adventure. Would love to do some biking next time I’m in area, and will definitely come back to Bungalow.

Perfect Stay in Boise!
Check in was smooth and so easy. Love the location, and the neighborhood. The house is clean and has everything that you would need! We had our dog and the yard is perfect. Love the outdoor lighting and the fire feature. Nice touches with the coffee, spices, and stocked kitchen. My kids wanted to move in! Thank you for the wonderful communication and making it easy to move our son into the dorms. We will be back!

Small but worked out great!
In town for teenagers Idaho bowl and all state Football games for 2 back to back weekends. Worked out great for the 3 of us. Would be a tight fit for more than the 3 though. Everything needed was onsite. Great location. Close to BSU where our kid was most the time. Thanks for a great stay.

Cute little house close to Boise State University
We had a great stay at this little cottage in South Boise while visiting our son (who is a student at BSU). We were able to check in early and the house was as described on the website. The owners even left us some local treats--chips, popcorn and wine/beer. There was a pitcher of filtered water in the fridge and ice cubes in the freezer--which is always a nice touch! There was also a small side/backyard with gas firepit, comfortable chairs and shed with 2 cruiser bikes (helmets and bike locks were also provided). Our only compliant was the firepit was difficult to light and we weren't able to light it every time we tried (it had enough propane, so that wasn't the issue). The house was in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from grocery stores, coffee shops and BSU. The bed was comfortable, and the Murphy Bed (also comfortable) was a nice option so our son could stay over with us, too. We will likely stay here again in the future. This is a great place if you're looking for a cozy, comfortable stay within walking or biking distance of BSU, the river, downtown Boise and a variety of amenities. Thanks!
