Large Upscale House for 17 with Firepit in Star

This house is made for large groups of up to 17 people. The spacious kitchen accommodates several cooks, and the dining table is for 10 people, with additional seating for 2 at the kitchen counter. All beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses and pillows. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been completely remodeled with granite and tile.
15 guests will have a real bed, 2 will have a queen size air mattress.
Rates are based on 8 guests, add $15/night/guest up to 17. The additional guest charge applies to the entire duration of your booking, i.e. if you are booked for 5 nights, the additional guest charge applies to 5 nights, even if someone only sleeps there for 3 nights. Please book with your best estimate for headcount - you will have a chance to true up headcount right before travel dates.

Since I am an avid traveler myself, I know what matters to guests: having a feeling of comfort when you walk in. Knowing everything is spic-and-span, even if you look under the beds. High-quality mattresses, pillows, and bedding. Beautiful décor. I hope you will love this house.
You can use the house as well as the garage, as well as the backyard.
I live in Boise, about 35 mins from this house. I prefer efficient, streamlined communication. Time is our most valuable resource. The best way to interact with me is via SMS/Text. I will respond within the hour.
The house is in a residential neighborhood and on a very quiet street.
You will definitely want to have a car.
This house is owned by Sam Wenzel, owner and operator of Boise Vacation Rentals LLC. As you know, a professional host who manages their own rentals is the best of both worlds: professional management coupled with the care only an owner can bring to a property.

Great Property and nicely stocked!
I stayed here with a group of runners and chaperones for the Nike XC races. It was great! Plenty of room for the 10 of us and the house has all of the basics needed to cook and clean up several people. We appreciated the outside space, use of the BBQ and fire pit, as well as the quiet neighborhood and private setting. The house was clean. There were a few odd things we didn’t have the opportunity to mention to the managers. One of the TVs didn’t work and a few of the wall outlets. The water had a strong chlorine smell and taste but we are all used to well water so perhaps that is normal for some people. We ended up buying drinking water.The location was great, near shopping and restaurants.

The latest girthing of the Lindsay Clan, Star, Idaho
This home is centrally located in Treasure Valley near shopping, site seeing, skiing, hiking, biking, and many other attractions with in 20 mile radius. We enjoyed playing games, roasting marshmallows on the fire pit, while waiting for new year fire works.

Fantastic Stay
This home was cozy with plenty of space for all of us. It sits in a quiet little neighborhood and has a fantastic backyard. Yes, it's winter time, however, we enjoyed the fire pit and the covered back porch. There were plenty of dishes and all the pots/pans needed to cook our meals. Communication with the property management was stellar. We will stay here again.

Home away from home
My large extended family and I traveled to Boise to attend my son's graduation and wanted to maximize our time together. This beautiful house served as our comfortable home base for the trip. Comfortably slept 15, great layout, and wonderful backyard. Every interaction with Sam the host was great! She was extremely responsive, had thorough/clear communication, and even included a bunch of great restaurant recommendations. If I ever travel to the Boise area again with a large group, I will definitely stay here again!

The home was perfict for our family get together. Home was clean, well furnished and conferrable for all. It matches the description in the listing - we were not disappointed at all. The kitchen had all the cooking and table ware needed; the living area downstares was great and the upstairs bedrooms awesome. we also enjoyed the backyard patio area. The owner, Sam communicated often and wanted to make sure we had everything needed for our 6 day stay. I highly recommend this rental home. Thank you Sam for everything.

It was everything that's posted and more There’s more beds than we needed, everyone was able to stretch out and entertain ( w/ 5 adult kids and friends stopping by).

I like cooking big breakfast for all who’ll show up It was perfect (w/ the island, Kit table and Patio) It also has a roomy 3 car garage (if the weather doesn’t permit you to go out - my kids have lots of energy and the backyard was awesome We’ll be back

Great for multiple families - large group
This home is well maintained, clean and has lots of sleeping space. We came to the Boise area for a youth baseball tournament and shared this house with 2 other families. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is in a great location, not too far from all of the fun activities that the Boise area has to offer. We would definitely stay here again!

We had our family reunion here. We planned for 17 but only 7 people were able to attend. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and safe. The house was clean and well appointed. It’s close to grocery stores and shopping. We toured the College of Idaho Campus while we were there. We had a good time and everyone loved the place!

Family reunion in Boise
My husband and I rented this home for our adult children and grandchildren (7 adults/3 young children total) for the week to join our extended family for a week full of activities in Boise. This house fit all of us comfortably and was a perfect central location to reach all of the events as well as outdoor activities. House was well stocked as we used kitchen to make and share meals. Plenty of towels and laundry area was appreciated. Ample space in backyard for kids and adults as well as a outdoor table to enjoy the outdoors when the sun did not set until 9:30pm during out stay. Hosts were quick to respond if we had questions! Thank you

Family wedding
The house was perfect for our large family to stay together while being in the area to attend our youngest son’s wedding. Perfect set up for each family unit to have their own bedroom together, with plenty of bathrooms to shower and bathe young children. The kitchen and living room spaces were large and roomy to fit us all. The garage was spacious to accompany our loaded vehicles, coming from out of state with camping plans on the way home. Thank you again!

Cute Oasis
This was such a cute place to stay with family while we were in town for our nephew's graduation. There were plenty of beds for everyone. The bathroom situation was a little tricky but workable since there were only two full baths, but once we came up with a plan it was fine. The neighborhood was safe. The back yard was so fun. Everything was super clean & modern and I would definitely recommend this property to others!!!

The best VRBO
We absolutely love this house, the neighbors, and the neighborhood. We were the last owners of this house and lived in it for 5 years before moving out of state. We just rented for 5 nights and wish we could’ve stayed longer! The beds and pillows were the most comfortable of the last several places we’ve stayed, the house is clean, and we loved having a fire pit and pickle ball to keep everyone happy. The street is very quiet and safe too. There is a dip in the road in front of the house, so everyone drives very slowly. Stay here if you like peace, quiet, safe, and clean. This house makes me so happy. Can’t wait to go back 😊

Three Generation Christmas Celebration
We had seven adult family members including two dogs travel to the Boise area for a three generational Christmas celebration with local family members. When we arrived, the house was ready and immaculately clean. The bedrooms had very comfortable beds with upscale linens / pillows and the bathrooms were nicely set up. The kitchen had everything needed for us to produce & serve a dinner for twelve. The large ten-person dining table was one of the main reasons we selected this property. Sam was a wonderful host. She even had a full-size decorated Christmas tree already set up which made our celebration in the house even more special. I would definitely recommend this property for any family get togethers in the Boise area

First Christmas Family Reunion
We had 12 people staying on the property and 4 that came over during the day, a total of 16 people spending a majority of the day at the house. It held us all quite comfortably. There were plenty of things that made our stay comfortable. The large, well stocked kitchen (we ate a majority of our meals in), the large dining table, and the amazing mattresses (hands down everyone’s favorite). With 2 1/2 baths, needs were met quite easily and hot water was never an issue. The oversized sectional and the gas fireplace was a close second. It’s a large home but feels quite cozy for its size. There was plenty of space in the living room for professional family photos to be taken and anything we needed/wanted was within a 15 min drive. This was a great property for our party and made it easy for us to create new memories with our continually growing family.
