The Wooden House is a spacious almost 900 square foot urban retreat in the heart of the North End. This getaway is a perfect balance of industrial and cozy warmth. Walk, scooter, or Uber to Hyde Park and downtown from this quiet hideaway. In the warmer months, open the bay door to let the outside in. When it’s cooler the radiant floor heat will keep your toes toasty and when it gets warmer, you can cool down with the a/c. If you want more heat, turn the sauna on and have a sweat. Extralarge bedroom with comfortable queen bed and additional lounge space on 2nd floor. Please note that because we share the backyard space & we have a dog, we cannot accept bookings from those with service animals. We, for security reasons, have two outdoor cameras at each entry. We are designers…and this is a special place that we have put love & care into. It’s not a generic house managed by a big property management company. You’ll see like so many of our past guests. Looking forward to hosting you!

    The Wooden House review:We had such a wonderful stay at The Wooden House just two doors down from our family. The house has a fascinating history — once a garage, then an office, a studio, and now a warm, inviting VRBO that truly feels like a home away from home. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and the hosts have truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable - whether for a short weekend or a longer visit. The space is well-organized, clean, and full of charm, with retro décor, interesting artwork, and handmade wood furniture crafted by the owner. Every detail feels intentional and welcoming. We probably took way too many pictures of the place - inside and out — but there were just so many interesting details to capture! Each corner seems to have a story. The house is full of character without feeling cluttered. We couldn't stop exploring all the little artistic touches throughout - and we’re pretty sure we still didn't catch everything.We especially loved the front porch with its hammock, lounge chairs, and even a sauna - such a special touch!Danielle and Derek are great hosts, and their dog Vera was the sweetest greeter. We're honestly sad to leave - thank you for creating such a thoughtful and memorable space!

    Great location close to mountain biking, Hyde Park coffee/bars/restaurants, downtown, and the North End family and friends we came to visit. This guesthouse is quiet, charming, well-appointed and comes with a visit from Vera, the sweetest pup in the neighborhood. Highly recommend if you're looking for a private oasis in the heart of the North End.

    We had an amazing time staying at The Wooden House! Derek and Danielle were excellent hosts, and they have done an outstanding job designing each aspect of this home including each room, furniture, decor, etc. Our favorite design element was the skylight window with a fantastic view of their pine tree. Also, the neighborhood was super nice and a close walk to several great restaurants on 13th street that had us covered at any time for any meal. We’d definitely recommend staying here, and look forward to our next visit!

    We loved our stay! The attention to detail was amazing — we especially enjoyed listening to old cassettes on the vintage boom box. It was a perfect place for remote work; both my husband and I worked comfortably during our stay. The bed was very comfortable, everything was clean and well-appointed, and the sauna (which we used twice!) was definitely a highlight. The location was excellent, with easy access to 13th Street, coffee shops, pubs, and downtown Boise. We would absolutely stay here again!

    We loved all the attention to detail and comfort. The bed, pillows and blankets are so comfortable. We were able to sleep well. The skylight above the bed was an added bonus. We also appreciated the extras (cold drinks in the fridge, beautiful coffee table, and the hammock swing for relaxing). We didn’t have time for the sauna but it looked wonderful.. The location is in a beautiful neighborhood and very private. It is a short pleasant walk to Hyde park with excellent restaurants, brewery, coffee shops and bakery. Also the hosts are very welcoming and helpful.

    21st St. is part of the 'sweet spot' of Boise's North End, and close to parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and Hyde Park. As a family of artists, craftspeople, and builders, we took a tour of the cabin. We were all impressed! The personal touches Derek and Danielle have added to the cabin make a wonderful place to visit Boise!
