The Harrison House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Charming and meticulously decorated, this Boise craftsman offers an enclosed yard and all the cozy amenities of home - plan a wine-tasting trip with close friends or a family getaway into the great outdoors in this lovely space! Built in 1923 by the son of Irish immigrants, this bright home features hardwood floors, antique decor, cheery blue and yellow accents, and three bedrooms and a bathroom all on the main floor. Snuggle up on the sofa by the gas fireplace, rally your loved ones for a family board game in the sunroom, and let the little ones unwind with movies on the TV and DVD player. Outside, the enclosed backyard is a whimsical space with a vine-covered pergola and an ornate river-rock patio. Serve lemonade or mojitos under the umbrella on the porch, or fire up the grill for the perfect outdoor barbecue.

The Harrison House is located in Boise's historic North End, on the tree-lined Harrison Boulevard (which is on the National Register of Historic Places). The home is two miles from downtown and just blocks from Camel's Back Park and Hyde Park. Play doubles at the Camel's Back tennis courts or rent stand-up paddleboards from Idaho River Sports to explore Quinn's Pond two miles away. In town, you can ride your bike along the Boise River Greenbelt or stroll with your loved ones through the Idaho Botanical Garden. Float the river at Barber Park or take the kiddos to see the tigers at Zoo Boise. In winter, Bogus Basin is less than 16 miles away, where you can enjoy a white Christmas or ring in the New Year on the ski slopes.

Charming and great location
We had a lovely stay at this charming home. It is walking distance to the Hyde district which is my favorite corner of Boise. The home is really well stocked with everything you need. It’s an old home but well maintained, clean and comfortable. Would stay here again. My only recommend to owners is to please stock more toilet paper and to fix the cabinet door under kitchen sink so access to garbage is easier. I think the latch is broken?

Classic old home with upgrades
Our stay was good once we figured out that the code only works on the front door and how to re-close and lock it. Normally there are plastic baggies in the kitchen for left overs. I'm not a huge fan of plastic but there were none. The mirror in the bath room wasn't clean. The creaky floors were just part of being in an old home and kind of charming but woke someone up at night. Other than that, we enjoyed the home. Thank you.

We loved the location. The listing was 100 percent accurate and every little detail wat thought of by the hosts. The parks for our little ones were nearby and the vibrant restaurants in were a short walk away too. We will definitely return in the future.

Hyde Park Hostel
The location of this house was great, near hiking trails and cute Hyde Park shops and restaurants. However, I could only recommend it if the owners took the time to make this house more guest friendly. They first need to include specific instructions on how to unlock the door, use the gas fireplace, use the TV which offers home shopping channels and Netflix, and adjust the thermostat. They need to throw out permanently stained towels, replace the decades old frayed dish towels, unclog the bathroom sink, provide more than one blanket for 3 bedrooms, provide more than 6 forks and spoons for a house that accommodates 6. Without attention to the above, I cannot justify recommending this property, despite its great location.

Great stay in Boise North End
It was a great house in an awesome neighborhood. 3 bedrooms two have double beds and the 3rd twin beds so 4 people unless you want to share beds. Very cool antique furniture and well decorated. Also stocked with everything you need. Loved it!

Amazing location, house needs a LOT of work
My family and I were supposed to stay at this property for almost two weeks and ended up having to vacate (at Vacasa's suggestion) due to all of the issues in the home. First, I want to say that the property manager was exceptional in her communication and responsiveness. That being said, this house was in really rough shape. The first day we were there someone had to come to completely change out the broken kitchen light. We also noticed that the kitchen faucet had almost no water pressure, it was practically a drip. But the real problem was in the basement. In looking for the washer and dryer I noted that the carpet in one of the empty basement rooms was completely saturated with water. I let the manager know, but the contractor who came out the first day didn't seem to address it. Two days later I went back down and this time the basement had a strong mildewy smell. I opened the door to the wet carpet room and noticed that paint was buckling along the wall. When I walked closer to inspect this wall, I saw that the one adjacent had paint peeling off and a layer of black mold surrounding an electrical socket. Upon seeing photos of the mold and buckling walls, the manager sent out an urgent plumber who noted to us that the wall with the mold had crumbled at his touch and that there was severe foundation issues. Additionally, they were going to need to rip out the carpet and the walls. It's obviously incredibly disappointing to have a stay cut short by over a week and for a variety of workers to need to enter the rental during peak Omicron.

Beautiful historic home
We loved this beautiful historic home in the North End. We had a couple maintenance issues that could not be resolved but the property management company was very responsive and communicative. The house was very clean and it was beautifully decorated. The location on Harrison Blvd. and proximity to Hyde Park and Camel Back park could not be beat.

This is a beautiful old home in a very pretty neighborhood. We enjoyed the lovely old wood floors and built-ins in the main rooms. The beds were very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is wonderful to walking in. We enjoyed walking the few blocks down the restaurants and ice cream store and also longer walks into the nearby hills. This was a great VRBO!

Location
Location was terrific. And, the price was reasonable! This is an older home and needs some tender loving care. One of the outside windows was shattered, the storm door was missing a window/screen, the wood floors squeaked terribly, lack of water pressure. The toilet ran, and the house smelled like mold. The downstairs (basement) had vines growing above the washer and dryer. I really enjoy VRBO's being in our late 60's and 70's and really never had a bad stay. I know VRBO's have become popular, but perhaps an overview is needed.

Fantastic Stay
The reason we selected this property was the pictures we saw online. We were pleasantly surprised that the property was even better than the pictures. We were amazed at how well-stocked the property was. It had everything we needed and even more. The neighborhood is truly a gem. We didn't know much about the neighborhood and were pleasantly surprised. Every house on the street was unique, well-maintained, and beautiful.
