Notes from the host
Hand House
Hot tub, fire pit, corn hole, ping-pong table, washer/dryer, full-size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, Wifi, 55" TV, Apple TV + Roku for easy streaming of your favorites (note: no cable), iron, ironing board, blow dryers and luggage racks make this a great place to hang your hat in Boise for business or pleasure. Most furnishings are new as of 2017 including beds, rugs, dining table, sofa and chairs. There are a few fun vintage pieces here and there.
A quick walk to great coffee shops, restaurants and retail in Hyde Park - Hyde Perk is our favorite for breakfast/coffee and Hyde House for lunch and dinner. If you like "Bessie" (cow art in kitchen) Hyde and Seek Gift Shop is the place to go -- a wonderland of great gifts! Longer walk or a short 5 min rideshare gets you to downtown Boise and all it has to offer! Don't miss the Saturday Farmer's Market! 2,546 sq ft in total space so guests have lots of room to spread out. Note that most of the home has been updated while still maintaining the original charm of this 1937 home. Our past guests have really enjoyed their stay - and especially like the heated bathroom floors in two of the three bathrooms, cozy beds/linens and fun bright art - we hope you will too!
The gateway to the Boise foothills, North End is renowned for its historic homes, tree-lined streets, relaxed culture and dozens of parks. Stroll to great coffee shops, restaurants, and retail in Hyde Park. Walk, bike, or drive in a few minutes to downtown.

House Rules:

*There cannot be more than 9 people in or on the property at one time and no more than 9 occupants overnight.
*We do offer late check out and early check in, when possible, for a modest additional fee for our cleaners. An unplanned late check out really affects our cleaner's schedule. If you do not arrange a late checkout in advance, there is a $55 fee. If you do not checkout by noon, you will be charged an additional night's stay.
*This is a non-smoking house. $500 smoke mitigation fee will apply if smoking of any variety is found.
*Furniture should not be moved without prior approval
*Please remove shoes when entering the home to protect the flooring.
*1-2 well behaved dogs are allowed. There is a pet servicing fee of $45/pet. This is a one time charge that will be requested via the Airbnb resolution center after you have booked. Please remove any dog droppings and dog hair before checking out. If pet hair or waste causes additional cleaning expense the expense will be billed to you. If discovered any unauthorized pets will need to be immediately removed and a pet mitigation charge of $500 will apply.
*Events (like a baby shower, reception, birthday party, etc) are not allowed. Unauthorized events will be subject to a minimum charge of $1500. Additional charges for damage may also apply.
*Friendly reminder to please use the provided black towel for face make-up. So many of our towels and pillowcases are stained by oil based make-up and our professional laundry service can't even bust these stains. We appreciate you helping us conserve our linens.
*Sometimes it's hard to know what sound level is too much so we use a noise monitoring device. It won't invade your privacy because it does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it only monitors the ambient noise level (measured in decibels). If it goes off, it gives us a chance to warn you that your sound level is such that it could upset our neighbors.
*There is also a Ring camera system to monitor the outside of the home. One Ring doorbell with additional cameras monitoring the backyard, camera and light by the kitchen door and a camera and light over the garage door looking over the street.
*If a failure to follow the house rules impacts the next guest's stay and causes us to need to discount or refund that next guest you agree to be responsible for the resulting cost.
