Writer's Cottage by Historic Depot, BSU, Downtown & Morrison Center

Welcome to our cozy cottage incredibly close to all you might want in downtown Boise while situated in a quiet neighborhood and comfortable enough to make you feel like you never want to leave. In fact, you can walk to BSU, downtown, the capital, Morrison Center, Boise River, Anne Frank Memorial, museums, restaurants,the Greenbelt and more. Leave your vehicle behind and walk, scooter or Uber easily around town. If are arriving by air, the airport is a short 5 – 7 minute drive from the cottage. Winter skiing at Bogus Basin is only 45 minutes away and a visit to and from the mountain resort town of McCall is well within a day’s drive. If you are performing at the Morrison Center, this home is perfectly situated for you!

Originally build in 1947, our place has been completely remodeled including the beautifully horticulturalist designed and maintained landscaping and large yard. Our three bedroom, two bathroom home can comfortably sleep 6 (or 7 if someone is up for the couch). All bedding and towels are brand new with luxurious comfort in mind. In fact, we completely remodeled the home specifically to place it on the short term rental market so the majority of the furnishings are brand new, as well.

We are passionate about cooking so our recently remodeled kitchen is well appointed and even has spices and seasonings to get you started. The kitchen has a Keurig coffee maker and we provide some coffee to get you going. If you prefer to cook outside, the cottage also has a BBQ on its charming backyard patio. The house has two refrigerators and a small wine refrigerator so you will not run out of room and has both heading and air-conditioning. The house also has a washer and dryer and we include the detergent for your convenience.

Once at the house, we have restaurant menus and literature to help you plan your stay. A supermarket, Starbucks and several restaurants are very close by adding to the convenience of our location. Further, we are located nearby and are always at your service for recommendations or assistance.

When you travel, it can be difficult to find a home away from home that feels cozy and clean while affordable and convenient. Our cottage is all of that and more. Please call us and/or schedule your visit with us today. You will not be disappointed.
