Large Upscale House for 17 with Firepit in Star

This house is made for large groups of up to 17 people. The spacious kitchen accommodates several cooks, and the dining table is for 10 people, with additional seating for 2 at the kitchen counter. All beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses and pillows. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been completely remodeled with granite and tile. I bought this house in 2019 and have furnished it all new.
15 guests will have a real bed, 2 will have a queen size air mattress.
Rates are based on 8 guests, add $15/night/guest up to 17. Please enter the booking for the highest number of people you will have at any point during your stay. Example of how this policy works: If you have 10 guests one night, 15 another, and 12 on the last one, we will charge you for 15. This is because linens will have to be washed for 15 people, regardless of how many nights your 15 guests used the towels and bedsheets.
This house has a fantastic layout and I fell in love with it the second I walked in the door. I made an offer after just spending 20 minutes in the house! Its prime location (8 min from Eagle and 15 or 20 mins to Boise by car), coupled with a great open floor plan and fully fenced, large backyard made this house appealing to me right away.
I invested over $40K to bring this house up to much higher standards. It now has granite in all bathrooms as well as the kitchen, as well as easy-care flooring downstairs. We added a large pergola in spring 2022 for outside dining in the summer.
Since I am an avid traveler myself, I know what matters to guests: having a feeling of comfort when you walk in. Knowing everything is spic-and-span, even if you look under the beds. High-quality mattresses, pillows, and bedding. Beautiful décor. I hope you will love this house as much as I do! :-)
You can use the house as well as the garage, as well as the backyard.
I live in Boise, about 35 mins from this house. I prefer efficient, streamlined communication. Time is our most valuable resource. The best way to interact with me is via SMS/Text. I will respond within the hour.
The house is in a residential neighborhood and on a very quiet street.
You will definitely want to have a car.
This house is owned by Sam Wenzel, owner and operator of Boise Vacation Rentals LLC. As you know, a professional host who manages their own rentals is the best of both worlds: professional management coupled with the care only an owner can bring to a property.

The latest girthing of the Lindsay Clan, Star, Idaho
This home is centrally located in Treasure Valley near shopping, site seeing, skiing, hiking, biking, and many other attractions with in 20 mile radius. We enjoyed playing games, roasting marshmallows on the fire pit, while waiting for new year fire works.

Fantastic Stay
This home was cozy with plenty of space for all of us. It sits in a quiet little neighborhood and has a fantastic backyard. Yes, it's winter time, however, we enjoyed the fire pit and the covered back porch. There were plenty of dishes and all the pots/pans needed to cook our meals. Communication with the property management was stellar. We will stay here again.

Great place to stay,
Loved the central location and the space of the layout. The beds were so comfortable, the backyard was a great space for children, and it really fit 3 married couples, four children and three single adults comfortably. Wonderful experience!!

Home away from home
My large extended family and I traveled to Boise to attend my son's graduation and wanted to maximize our time together. This beautiful house served as our comfortable home base for the trip. Comfortably slept 15, great layout, and wonderful backyard. Every interaction with Sam the host was great! She was extremely responsive, had thorough/clear communication, and even included a bunch of great restaurant recommendations. If I ever travel to the Boise area again with a large group, I will definitely stay here again!

Family Get Together
The home was perfict for our family get together. Home was clean, well furnished and conferrable for all. It matches the description in the listing - we were not disappointed at all. The kitchen had all the cooking and table ware needed; the living area downstares was great and the upstairs bedrooms awesome. we also enjoyed the backyard patio area. The owner, Sam communicated often and wanted to make sure we had everything needed for our 6 day stay. I highly recommend this rental home. Thank you Sam for everything.

Roomy and Relaxing
It was everything that's posted and more There’s more beds than we needed, everyone was able to stretch out and entertain ( w/ 5 adult kids and friends stopping by). We were in town for my son’s Fire Academy Graduation. I like cooking big breakfast for all who’ll show up It was perfect (w/ the island, Kit table and Patio) It also has a roomy 3 car garage (if the weather doesn’t permit you to go out - my kids have lots of energy and the backyard was awesome We’ll be back
