About this house rental

Named after the smallest of North American falcons, which nest in nearby trees, "Kestrel's Perch" was recently reimagined - from the bottom up - in the spirit of a comfortable mid-century hilltop retreat, emphasizing the property's spectacular views of the Valley, private setting and access to the surrounding amenities of northwest Boise. The 1000 sq ft home features a large master bedroom, 2nd bedroom (also nicely suitable as office), well-lit kitchen/living room and italian-tiled bathroom. The Space Deirdre and I spent almost six months renovating "Kestrel's Perch", making design and layout choices that, we hope, will make for a truly special travel experience for our guests. The result is a crisp, clean, uncluttered space that's been accentuated by furniture choices and features that enhance the comfort and natural appeal of "The Perch's" hilltop setting. It's definitely not a stretch to use the cliched phrase "one-of-a-kind" property to describe the Kestrel's Perch. The 1000 sq. ft. home features a large master bedroom, second bedroom with captain's bunk-style queen bed (also nicely suitable as an office), well-lit kitchen/living room and italian-tiled bathroom. The kitchen is fully outfitted with new stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and spacious white cabinets. Our guests who find themselves in Boise on a business venture will be pleased to note the wall-to-wall, built-in desk (with drawers) in the second bedroom, should the lovely terrace prove to be too much of an indulgent distraction. In addition to plenty of closet space, the large utility room (with new washer/dryer) may also be used to store bikes, skis or other gear securely. An ample carport will keep you and your vehicle dry and cool, in the case of inclement or unseasonably hot weather. In addition to all the basic amenities, Kestrel's Perch also comes equipped with: - small kitchen appliances such as juicer, bullet blender, food processor, crock pot and coffee grinder - two 50" HD televisions, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom - covered backyard patio - outdoor table/seating for four - garden benches - large Weber BBQ Guest Access A large carport provides a nice dry environment to the front entry of "The Perch". Guests will be provided with a unique code to keypad-enabled deadbolt on the front door. Backdoor and Utility Room also have separate access ways. The Neighborhood Just off the northend foothills travel corridor of Hill Road, the home's location is a convenient headquarters to access to shopping (5 min), downtown (10 min), Boise's "Ridge To Rivers" system (Stewart Gulch trailhead is 1/2 mile away @ Hillside Jr. High) or Hwy 55 for longer excursions north to recreational towns like Garden Valley or McCall.

This home is the cutest, most beautiful getaway! The home overlooks the valley with gorgeous views and a fun covered patio and terrace backyard! The home is awesome, so modern and clean, and really felt so comfy and homey! The house had all the amenities we needed and was so warm and inviting! We didn't get to see any kestrels, as it was raining and snowing, but we did go to the Birds of Prey Center and saw some amazing birds there! What a perfect getaway, and fun place to stay!

We found it! The "home" away from home you want to return to time and time again. Definitely will stay here again. This home is beautifully bright and airy. Master bedroom is very comfortable as was the 2nd bedroom for our daughter. We spent thanksgiving perched here, enjoyed preparing our thanksgiving together in the well appointed kitchen. The fall view overlooking Boise was gorgeously stunning and the evening colors were phenomenal. We did not have icy or snow conditions, that would of been our "only" concern as the home is atop a slight hill. It's close enough to parks, the greenbelt, shopping and restaurants, for us it was a win, win stay. Price point is very good, we say this based on our recent 10wk stint in Maine which we found to be atrociously expensive,

Fabulous stay...roomy updated mid century home secluded on the hillside and surrounded by foliage. All amenities, small galley kitchen and comfortable king mattress. Great for pups too. Coming back!

Overall the property was very nice, quiet and comfortable. We had a funny start with an alarm going off, but finally figured it all out and then had no other issues. Host was very nice and we met a neighbor in the process. Close to everything, but seems like you are away from society. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend it.

The place has some incredible potential. Great views. Newer interior. But overall we were very disappointed in the presentation and usability of the place. The entire exterior looked like a hurricane blew through and no cleanup had been done yet. The patio and furniture were coated in droppings from the oak trees. And landscaping was entirely in disarray. Unkept. Untrimmed. Stains on the concrete from something leaking inside the shed. We could not use the outside without cleaning off the furniture and all the surfaces. So we did not, other than the covered bench on the porch. Very disappointing. The shower door rubber seals are torn. Love the tile work though. The sink soap dispenser was used up bath gel with water added to use up that last bit of leftover soap. And the master BR does not have complete shades installed for privacy. The guide book should be placed in a binder with all the info you would like to share. Including WiFi code as it needed to be input into the tv twice as it kept telling us it had no WiFi. And pulling it off the router became a chore in getting the code exact. And finally the door code should have been sent via email saving both of us the phone call and interrupting your workout. It might be worth your visiting your property and making sure the people you pay to take care of it are doing just that. I am not trying to not pick. My wife and I stay in a lot of vrbos and we know what is good and what is not. Place could be great if the issues are fixed

Great little house for a small family. Very relaxing with an excellent view and comfortable seating. The outside patio is very nice but was too cold to enjoy. Summertime would be very enjoyable!

Great place to stay for a long weekend. The view is unmatched. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of towels. We loved the peace and quiet. We will definitely stay again.
