Bright home with valley views & ski-in location

Snowfall Getaway (268 I)

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set among the towering trees, this adventure-filled Bogus Basin condo offers up to guests the chance to dive into mountain action. With a ski-in/ski-out location that puts you just minutes away from hiking, mountain biking, and the slopes, your vacation promises to be filled with memories that will last a lifetime!

Located just down the street from the Bogus Basin ski resort, it's a quick drive of about 20 miles to the shopping, dining, and attractions of downtown Boise. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Idaho, exploration will be at your fingertips.

Grab your fishing gear and head down to the iconic shores of the Boise River to do some fly fishing before heading over to the Black Cliffs for a bit of rock climbing. During the winter you can bask in snow-filled adventures at the Bogus Basin Ski Area, just steps away.

Use the free WiFi to stream some background music while you enjoy an ice-cold brew on the deck. The deck is perfect for watching sunsets and gazing out over Bitterroot Basin, and the views stretch all the way to the mountains of SE Oregon on a clear day!

Whether you're hiking through tree-lined trails, shredding fresh powder, or treating yourself to a mouthwatering meal at one of Boise's eateries, this Idaho home is a great spot for outdoor adventure.

Birthday trip
It was a cozy place for the 5 of us. The patio was amazing. Kitchen had everything we needed. In the hot summer months, an air conditioner would have been great. For a group of coffee drinkers, a larger coffee pot would have been nice. It was fun for the group to go down to the main lodge and enjoy the summer activities.

If you're up for the views, this is good one!
As far as I can tell, the Pioneer condos all have the same floor plan, so it's the views and furnishings that make the difference. If you want the best views, this is a great option! If you want fancy furnishings, then you'll want to look elsewhere. Regardless, this condo is my new favorite. I love that it's at the end of the development so there are fewer neighbors and nothing blocking the gorgeous views of the valley. The Murphy bed/dining table combo is a creative add that's great for kids, while the island offers more counter space for the well-stocked kitchen. These features also make things a bit more cramped but overall we enjoyed our stay.

We will strive to never deal with Vacasa again
May 24 to 26, 2024 You guys have been after us for a review, so you asked for it: Dealing with Vacasa was a lot like dealing with a cable or cell phone company. We called them at the bottom of the mountain fearing cell phone coverage would become spotty at best at the top to find out how to get into the unit. The person couldn't find our reservation and was no help at all. If possible, I would have cancelled then. Through process of elimination, we tried their app entitled trip summary or something only to find out that you have to take pictures of your license and a selfie to get access to the room. We spent an hour or so working through all this parked at the side of the road. Had we known all this before, we would have NEVER reserved this unit. Next, another phone call, this time to someone who was helpful and gave us codes (two of them since she was not sure which would work) to get us in the door. The room was a hike from the parking lot. The hall inside the building obviously hadn't been cleaned in months if ever. The furniture was battered dorm room. There was NO COFFEE SUPPLIED (remember it is an hour one way down 6,000 ft to a store). They made a big deal about putting their parking pass in the car window but did not supply anything that would write the required information on it - all this for a lot that had 2 or 3 cars in it. The wifi did not work due to a problem with the router. Another phone call with someone who first tried to justify this but finally supplied a phone number for someone local who got us a code to a different server. Since if was obvious that Vacasa could not and would not do anything that couldn't be handled by smart phone, we didn't even bother to report the dead batteries in the TV remote or the fact that there was only one pot holder. We tried to extend our stay one day but decided not to because Vacas added service charges and another charge for room cleaning! (as if another day would add to the cleaning time). Bear in mind that the cleaning charge was already exorbitant (cost more than the 2 night stay) and far more than anyone else demanded in our experience. This is the only place we stayed on our month long road trip where we did not tip. If I owned this unit, I would find someone else, anyone else other than Vacasa to handle things. The good part: The unit probably had the best views of any - unobstructed views from 6,000 ft above Boise. The fireplace worked and wood was supplied although the inside wood storage was not stocked. The kitchen was functional. As I mentioned to person we talked to about extending our stay, we will never rent from Vacasa again if we have any choice. She thought that was funny. They behave a lot like a time share company who thinks they have a captive customer base and their marketing plan reflects that.

We have stayed here a few times and we love it!
We love the views and serenity of the whole place. Checking in can be confusing with the layout of the property, especially at night,, and it's tough to be spontaneous and extend a stay with the customer service, but despite normal maintenance to some facilities, and declining ammenities according to the pictures, we will still come back, hence the 5 stars. It's a cute, fun getaway close to Boise.

Great ski getaway.
This place is great! Its a little dated, so if you are expecting the Ritz then keep looking. It is clean, comfortable and well stocked. For me it is perfect and I plan to return next ski season. The 12 hour drive from California was worth it.

Best views at Bogus
Cozy, comfortable & clean condo. Stayed 4 nites for spring skiing. Its the furthest condo from the parking lot. Very quiet with fabulous views from every window. Two nice balconies. Enjoyed sitting in the sun after each ski day & watching the gorgeous sunsets. Fireplace worked fine. Firewood is supplied but we brought our own 3 hr. pressed logs. We would definitely stay here again.

nice retreat
This unit provided a nice mid-week get away. The unit was clean and ready to go. Kitchen was stocked with the basics including a coffee maker. Staff, however did not supply enough dishwasher detergent. Bewre: if you like you sleep in a dark bedroom this is not for you. Pathway light is right outside window and the drapes are not sufficient. We hung a blanket over the drapes and still was able to clearly make out every detail. Fireplace smokes slot and set off smoke detector. Heater in the bedroom was making alot of noise. Called to report the issue & spoke with someone in person. Was told that maintenance would come take a look but they never showed up. No remote for bluray player.

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Misleading and disappointing
Though the setting of this condo was nice, it was nowhere close to Horseshoe Bend. We were looking forward to being in Horseshoe Bend along the Payette River. This place was a top a ski lift at Bogus Basin, nowhere near a river, grocery store or restaurants. We feel like we were mislead by the ad saying it was in Horseshoe Bend which was about two hours away by steep winding roads. We only stayed three of our purchased five nights. We went down the mountain to Boise and spent the remainder of our trip there. Disappointed ... but the location was beautiful.
Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020

Excellent summer spot.
Really enjoyed our stay. Rooms were clean, grounds were clearly maintained and well kept. View was incredible. Everything advertised was delivered. One downside- the website has the check out time listed as 10:00 AM, but everywhere in the room it is clearly marked that checkout time is 11:00 AM. I could see this being problematic, if one was charged a late checkout.

Best views of the sunset
We stayed here as a get away from the city and the heat. What we didn't expect were the beautiful sunsets. This unit is the most north-western unit, giving it the best unobstructed views of the mountains and sunsets.

Exactly What We Needed
We loved being able to sit on the balcony and watch the sun set while eating dinner and we loved being able to watch the sun rise in the morning. The beds however, not very comfortable. I probably would not have stayed here more than 1 night because the beds were so uncomfortable but it was perfect for getting away and enjoying the mountain air.

Fun time
Great accommodations for funin the mountains. These condos are older, but well maintained. They are made to accommodate families or a group of friends. The bathrooms are small but clean and the showers worked well. The kitchen was clean and worked well. Sitting outside on the deck was probably our favorite part.

Wedding Weekend
We booked this condo to serve as the host location for our daughter's wedding at Bogus Basin. The accommodations were fantastic. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make meals for the wedding set up and tear down helpers. The views from this condo are AMAZING! The very best part was the on site condo manager, Michael and his staff. They were life savers.....friendly, helpful and fun! Thanks for a memory making weekend!!
