Boise's Westside neighborhood offers a mix of suburban tranquility and urban access, making it a great place for those seeking a more relaxed environment with easy access to outdoor activities, family-friendly amenities, and quick access to downtown Boise.

The outdoor area is be designed for easy flow between indoors and outdoors: the front porch and French doors allow the living space to extend outside.
The neighborhood setting offers a quieter outdoor zone than a downtown high-rise; you’ll likely find the yard/porch to be peaceful and comfortable. With access to bikes and the greenbelt, the vibe is active yet relaxed—ideal for looks like morning coffee on the porch, evening strolls, or bike rides along the river.

Entry / Entryway

As you enter through the double French doors on the front porch, you step into an entryway room that sets the tone. There are local guidebooks, a chalkboard listing guest favorite spots, and paddle-board themed art as homage to the nearby river recreation.
From here you pass one more door into the main open living area.

Open Living / Kitchen / Dining Area

The living area flows directly into the dining/kitchen zone, giving it an open concept feel.

Kitchen & dining nook: There’s a large counter-island with two tall stools, making it a natural gathering spot. Nearby is a dining table seating four. The kitchen is well-equipped (induction burners, microwave, convection oven, toaster, blender, children's dinnerware) and has a dedicated coffee/tea bar.

Living room: Hardwood flooring, trendy rug, comfortable couch + plush armchair, a 50-inch flat screen TV with Netflix/Hulu. The design is cozy yet modern. The décor emphasizes natural light and a calm, stylish vibe with a mix of functionality and comfort.

Loft / Upstairs Bedroom

Second Bedroom: another bedroom is located upstairs via “secret door” adjacent to the master. It's loft‐style, offering a queen “Nectar” memory foam bed. It has shelving for kids’ books and toys (so friendly for families), a closet with hangers/storage bins, wooden shades for darkness, heating/AC via ductless system, and cozy décor including a throw.
Laundry Room

Laundry: Off the back of the kitchen is a sizeable laundry room: stackable washer/dryer, basic cleaning supplies (broom, dustpan, mop, snow shovel if needed). Iron/ironing board in pantry. It also has an owner’s closet and cleaner’s closet (for the hosts) but access is basically tucked away so guests have a clean space to use if needed.


The local public transit agency, Valley Regional Transit (VRT), operates fixed-route bus services in the area.
One of the main lines serving this general region is Route 9 (State Street), which runs along West State Street and stops at/near “State & Whitewater Park Blvd”.

There is a bus stop listed at State & Whitewater Park Blvd, 3185 W State St near the whitewater park area.

Walking or biking may sometimes be more convenient than relying strictly on bus service and car rental is optimal for exploring the Boise areaThe city’s bike/pedestrian network includes the Boise River Greenbelt — a paved trail system that runs along the river and connects many parts of the city, including west side neighborhoods.
Scooter and e-bike sharing services (like the Lime scooters) are available, including discounts in certain “Equity Zone” neighborhoods on the west side.

We are approximately 5-6 miles from Boise Airport (BOI), so depending on traffic and route, you should allow about 10-15 minutes driving time.
