Cozy and clean

The small house was clean, cozy and inviting. The beds were super comfy! The space around the bathroom toilet was very small so it is something to be aware of if you are a very tall person, etc. Property was next to a high traffic road and backing out of driveway could be a challenge during rush hour. The location was close to shopping which is nice when you want to grab something to eat. We enjoyed our stay, and would stay again.

This was the perfect stay for our family! The host was so fast with communication and set up for everything we didn't even know we needed! We didn't have infants but I loved that there was a high chair and playpen available for those that do, as well as a small dog door to the back yard. We didn't think we'd even need to use the laundry machines but it was so nice to have them there. There were ice trays and a water pitcher that we were so thankful for. It felt safe and clean and being down the block from a gas station and grocery store was so convenient. One thing I will say, I got coffee grounds because I thought there was a basic coffee maker however it's a Keurig now. But no fear! Albertsons is just down the street! Would definitely stay again

Overall it was a good stay a few things needed taken care of the refrigerator needed better cleaning the fruit and veg drawers were very dirty i had to was them before i could put anything in the HVAC vent and filter in the living room was filthy. Had to contact the host soon after we arrived to let her know that was not going to be enough paper towels and hand soap to last for the 7 days we would be staying she did bring some over but I think in the future these things should be taken care of before anyone's arrival. Another thing should have been brought to our attention was the Landscapers would be there one of the days we were staying there as we were taking a nap after a long morning hike and all of a sudden someone was in the backyard directly under our bedroom window with a weed Wacker that was a rude awaking . Overall it is a cute place with some dining and convenience store in walking distance

The property was exactly as expected and exactly what we wanted. Easy to get to, clean, and safe. I didn’t realize the 4th of July parade would pass right in front of the cottage. What a treat!

Property not as pictured

We were shocked when we arrived, the pictures on the VRBO site must be from a long time ago, the place is very run down, paint chipped and peeling off the porch, on entering there was a smell of insecticide or grease or something acrid, the floors were dirty, theere were dead bugs all over the floor, refrigerator was filthy etc, overall condition very poor, the only good thing I can say is the bed was comfortable, that's it.I will let the pictures speak for themselves, we did not use the kitchen at all, it was very unpleasant.Owner said we should have called, she would fix it, it should have already been clean when we arrived. It is also on a very busy street.I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company.

Amazing Customer Service

The house was an adorable little cottage. It was perfectly located for us to get to Caldwell with ease. There was some unexpected city sewer work that occurred at the house that created some inconveniences for us, but Maria made sure we were compensated and apologize for the inconveniences. She was wonderful! We would definitely stay here again!

Star Cottage

Very cozy and welcoming! Loved how it was decorated. The noise from the nearby road was a little loud. I will be waiting to see the update of the back yard. It would be nice to have a space away from the road to BBQ and hang out. Maybe the updated back yard will include an outdoor grill. The kitchen had most everything you could need. Except maybe a salt and pepper shaker. Loved the town and surrounding area. I would stay here again. :)

OK for a night

Cottage is cute but needs some fixing. Not very convenient to Boise or the airport (further than I thought) and on a very busy street. Door code had been changed and we weren’t told, but we reached the owner. Later found no hot water (pilot light is uncovered and blows out easily) but owner did come over to light it when I said I wasn’t comfortable doing it myself. Overall, an ok place for a night or two if it’s on your way somewhere else.

The Smell Will Kill You

Upon arrival at the property we opened the refrigerator and the rotten smell would knock you over. The refrigerator was rusted. Contacted Maria and she came over and said she couldn't smell anything. The smell worsened and we could not even use the refrigerator. Called her back again and she came over. We were out and came home late. We walked in and she had left the windows open and the door. House was freezing and still stinks. Walked by the water heater and she had torn off a piece of cardboard and stuck it in the pilot light hole! Good thing we saw it or we could have been in extreme danger. Contacted Maria again and she was mad we called her late but she left our possessions unsecured and our life in danger. She refused to acknowledge the situation and kept telling us there was no smell. Our little granddaughters even commented on how its stinky it was in the house. Now the smell has penetrated the rest of the house. There was no where for us to go. Maria would not help us and would not give us a refund for the stay. We had some friends come over and say how bad it smelled. We had planned on cooking for our granddaughters during our stay and we could not even put a bottle of water in the fridge. I have stayed with VRBO homes for a long time but never have I had a stay that was this bad and a host that was so disrespectful. Renter beware.
