Charming home near downtown w/ enclosed yard & full kitchen!
Say hello to the City of Trees and make yourself at home here on the Boise Bench! Upon arrival, each guest that is lucky enough to come along will be greeted by the charming curb appeal and welcoming vibes of this quiet neighborhood. Step inside and you will find all of the comforts of home and more in an efficient layout that can accommodate the whole family with ease. Don't worry about having to find a bite to eat when mealtimes come around - not only is the loaded with all of the appliances you need to create amazing meals, but you'll also be surrounded by lots of terrific restaurants. When everyone returns from exploring the surrounding area, the backyard can be just the place to kick back as the family-dogs get a bit of their wiggles out. Plus, the gas fireplace, , and flatscreen TV are a great combination for a movie night with loved ones.
WHAT'S NEARBY
The Bench is one of the best locations to reside here in Boise, as everything is mere minutes from your front door. When you want to head into downtown, make your way to the restaurants, bars, and local shops that line 8th Street just three miles north. If an afternoon walk is on the agenda, the Green Belt offers miles of paved walking and biking paths on each side of the Boise River, making for an easy commute by foot to a large portion of the city. The more adventurous guests will love hiking or mountain biking at Military Reserve (four miles) or Camel's Back Park (four-and-a-half miles).

Great home! Comfy and cozy with a great back yard.

Great TV options. Love the setup. Yard may need a bit of help, but maybe that's due to winter conditions. Master suite is nice. wish there was a TV option upstairs. Definitely made good use of the kitchen. Love the little gas fireplace option.

My husband and I and two small pups stayed for 6 nights. It's a bit of a narrow type two story home. It might get a little snug if more than 3 people were to stay there but for us it was good. Boise cooled down for our stay so the (gas) fireplace was nice to have. The laundry is located in between the kitchen and the living room. Closing the doors kept any noise out while washer or dryer were in use. (That was a nice surprise!) The kitchen is stocked with plenty of seasonings, extra coffee, filters, hot chocolate and so forth. Plenty of dishes, glasses, cups and silverware, pots and pans too. Upstairs are the two bedrooms and 2nd bathroom. Did not run out of hot water. That's a plus! I didn't see a hair dryer and for us girls that's a big thing if you didn't bring one! Beds were very comfortable. Nice to have a table and lamp on each side of the bed. Some homes don't have that. Plenty of closet space. The backyard was just the right size for our two small pups. Just enough grass for them to run around on. All in all, we enjoyed our time at the Boise Bench House. It's tastefully decorated, very clean and very comfortable!

After a very long travel day it was so nice to walk into this home that was clean and tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and welcoming. The only thing needed was a hairdryer. Other than that we will be coming back again!!

Very inviting little place and roomy. Well stocked with everything one would need. The location was just perfect for us. It's close to restaurants, shopping, wine tours, hiking etc. I highly recommend it.

House was adorable and super comfortable. Very difficult to reach any one for questions. Would be nice if there was a way to ask questions and get responses.

Short drive to BSU, and downtown. Quiet, clean cottage with full kitchen, comfortable beds, and most everything you need. There is a fenced backyard good size for a small dog. A grocery store and other conveniences are nearby too, . Only thing missing is walking distance parks.
