This home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by large trees, small streams, a pond, and walking paths. it is incredibly tranquil all while being just minutes (by car) to shops, restaurants, and downtown Boise. The layout of the home is spacious and very comfortable. There is a room and space for everyone to be together but also for everyone to separate as needed. The game room is a favorite with stack of board games, puzzles, and card games as well as video games, DVDs, ping pong, and fuse ball. The house has central heating and air conditioning making it a great choice in the hot summer months or the cold (ish) Boise winters. We LOVE this home and LOVE being able to share it with others who find it as comfortable and entertaining as we do!

Hello! We are the Jensen Family from Boise, Idaho! We love to travel and have traveled extensively in the U.S. We have (not so) patiently been waiting for the day that finances, schedules, and employment would allow us to travel internationally. Now our time has come!!!! We have a beautiful second home (our kids actually wish it was our primary residence as it is so comfortable and fun) that we have to offer. We love getting to meet new people and are native to Idaho so we can offer a lot of knowledge and insight into visiting this great state.
