Huge Pet-Friendly House in Hyde Park

“Big Blue” is a large house – over 4,200 square feet – located in the beautiful and historic Hyde Park, North End district of the city, literally steps away from some of Boise’s best dining and parks, within walking distance of downtown, and a short bike ride from the best that Boise has to offer.

The house has four bedrooms, a very large living room with bar, formal dining room, finished basement/entertainment area, and backyard w/BBQ.

Big Blue is perfect for larger groups and families. There are two master suites with queen beds, 1 room that serves as an office/sleeping with a queen bed, a downstairs bedroom with a full and twin bunk bed set along with a full-size futon. Eight people can sleep comfortably in the bedrooms.

The best part of the house is its location: in historic Hyde Park, you are literally within a block of Goody’s candy shop, Java Coffee Shop, Hyde Park Bar & Grill, numerous restaurants, antique shops, book stores, spas, and many boutique shops. You’re also a short 5-minute walk to Camel’s Back Park, with hiking and running trails, tennis courts, and playgrounds.

Although you’re close to everything, you’ll enjoy the peace and quiet of the leisurely neighborhood, back yard and bbq.

Other amenities include large screen plasma TV, Wi-Fi, Roku and a large fenced yard.

A great house for executives, families or large groups. You'll find that you don't even need a car when you stay here, as the wide tree-lined streets are very pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

Within one mile of the house: grocery shopping, numerous restaurants and bars, yoga studios and spas, hospitals and clinics, theaters and cinemas, and much, much more.

Please note that there is a $20/night pet fee and a large group fee for groups over five people.

This was our first visit to Boise & being in historic Hyde Park added to what was the perfect time. We were able to walk just about everywhere and driving was super easy in this beautiful city. The house itself was clean and easy to stay comfortably in especially given it was just the two of us. We “lived” just on the main level of this lovely old home. Very welcoming and easy to enjoy!

Not as advertised
I am a VRBO Superhost and I know how important it is to leave reviews so I am going to 100% honest about this property. I WOULD NOT recommend this property to stay at.The pictures do not represent the property at all! The back yard is not a yard it is simply unkept full of weeds. The railings going down to the yard are loose & dangerous for anyone needing assistance getting down the stairs. There was actual screws coming out of the wall! Not to mention there is an apartment in the alley garage that looks directly into the backyard, so there is no privacy. The foul smell coming from the dumpsters in the alley made it very unpleasant to sit out back. There's a gas bbq, but no propane provided. The home itself was not clean to a hosting standard. It is posted as no shoes, however the kitchen floor was dirty, not to mention stained carpet & stains on the couch. There was 6 of us staying at the home & 4 hangers in each closet. The kitchen is VERY minimal in dishware, bowls, cooking utensils certainly not enough for 10 people unless you use the cheap plastic ware. No coffee, no water for guests. 4 p.m. check in & 10 a.m. check out is very inconvenient especially considering that you are required to wash & put away dishes & start a load of laundry. There wasn't enough laundry soap to start a load of laundry & the soap that was left was watered down fabric softener. I also found the host to be very threatening about charging extra fees for everything! Ridiculous!

Boise North End House
The house is in a great location next to many restaurants and downtown. The house is very large but needs some TLC. The bed in the basement was so uncomfortable the couple staying down there moved to the living room couch. Many things were just old and beat up like the couch and other furnishings. The hostess was responsive but the upstairs AC was not fixed even though the handy man came over 3 times. There were several minor issues but I will stop.

The property was the right size for our group. The living room, dining room and kitchen area are massive and where we spent most of our time. The Hyde Park area, where the house is located, is amazing, Walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. Also very close to the downtown Boise area.

Love the BLUE HOUSE. This was our 2nd time here. Great location in Hyde Park. A block away from food, candy, coffee, pastries, on and on....and close to Camels Back Park. House was super comfortable for just hanging around. Dogs loved the back yard and Virgil is the perfect host.

We loved being a few door down from Goody's, our favorite ice cream shop, and almost across from the Pub & Grill. Even so, the neighbor was quiet , and we had no trouble parking. We also enjoyed the large living room and fireplace. Virgil was very responsive to any concerns we expressed. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Laura and Family

Wonderful time!!
We were in town to celebrate our daughter's wedding. This was the perfect spot for our little clan to use as home base. So many great places within walking distance. Virgil was excellent with communication. The things that could use improvement: The kitchen could have been better organized, and there were actually dirty pans put away in the cupboard. We also had to get supplies like TP, paper towels, a clean kitchen sponge, which surprised us. The backyard was a great place to hang out, but was also surprised it hadn't been mowed or weeded a bit. Overall, we really did had a terrific time and would definitely recommend the Big Blue House!
