About Boise's Gem

Located just ½ mile southwest of Boise State University and the Morrison Center, Boise's Gem is perfectly situated for exploring Boise. Enjoy a short walk to several restaurants and a quick bike ride to the center of Boise's 25-mile greenbelt. The home is close to the historic train depot and downtown.

Inside you'll find a super clean space with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Relax with the 50" QLED smart TV with DirecTV, Paramount+, Prime Video and YouTube Premium (TV wires hidden in the wall), or log into your own apps.

The quiet neighborhood ensures a peaceful stay, and central air conditioning keeps you comfortable during Boise's hot summers. With a private driveway and an electronic smart lock, you'll have easy, secure access, with each booking getting its own door code.

No hidden fees or taxes — the price you see is the total you pay.
