An expansive, remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath, private house on a large lot that adjoins open space to the Boise Foothills. Two blocks off Historic Warm Springs Ave, close to Greenbelt, Boise River, Botanical Garden, golf course, tennis, basketball, hiking, mountain biking, etc. 1.5 mi to Downtown. A short 5.8 miles to the Boise Airport ($11-$18 Uber ride, $20 via Taxi)
Quiet and tranquil, peaceful and open, this property is ideally located; a country feel in the heart of the city! The home sits on ¼ acre with access to the trails out the back gate (mountain bike or hike hundreds of miles). The home has central air for a very comfortable stay during the warmer summer months. 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.

Select this home!

If you want an extra special vacation, this is the home for you. Fabulous location, lovely décor, numerous amenities, and super clean. Tons of room to spread out and lots of places to store your items but have them close at hand. We have stayed in a lot of vacation homes and this is the first time we did not have to unpack our "just in case the kitchen does not have it" bag. This home is a fabulous choice for anyone and everyone!

Great location - lovely home

We really enjoyed our stay in Boise. The home is spacious and well maintained. The owners were very helpful in answering our questions. Great appliances and room layouts. The huge master bedroom could, use some blackout shades for the summertime early and late sun and with children napping. The beds were all comfortable. We knew the out-building didn't have it's own bathroom, but that would have been a real bonus. The location was excellent and we loved the backyard.

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.
