Little Blue Bungalow • Pet Friendly • Fenced Yard & Dog Door • Near Downtown, BSU & Airport

Welcome to Little Blue Bungalow — A Cozy, Pet-Friendly Boise Retreat

Welcome to Little Blue Bungalow, a charming and thoughtfully designed 1-bedroom, 1-bath home located on Boise’s Bench — one of the city’s most convenient and desirable neighborhoods. This delightful retreat is perfect for couples, solo travelers, remote workers, and pet lovers looking for a comfortable home base just minutes from downtown Boise, Boise State University, and the airport.

What truly sets Little Blue Bungalow apart is how pet-friendly it is. Your furry companion will love the doggie door leading to a fully fenced backyard, offering freedom and security year-round. The spacious yard, patio seating, and beautiful landscaping create a relaxing outdoor space where you can enjoy Idaho’s pleasant weather while your pet plays safely nearby. Pets are welcome here because we know they’re part of the family.

Inside, the home feels warm, bright, and inviting. The newly remodeled living room features a super-comfortable couch, a 55” 4K TV, and a small desk area perfect for remote work or planning your Boise adventures. Fiber-optic internet ensures fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout the home.

The spacious modern kitchen offers expansive countertop space and is fully equipped for cooking, whether you’re preparing a full meal or a quick snack. Enjoy mornings with the Ninja coffee maker and tea kettle, and gather at the kitchen table that seats four comfortably. The open layout makes the space both functional and welcoming.

The bedroom features a comfortable Queen-size bed and a large walk-in closet. For additional guests, the living room includes a Queen-size sofa sleeper, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate up to four guests. The stylish, newly updated bathroom and full-size washer and dryer add convenience for longer stays.

Parking is easy with driveway space for two vehicles and ample free street parking nearby, allowing space for up to three cars total. Self check-in is simple and secure with a Wi-Fi enabled keypad.

Location is another highlight. Just a few blocks away, you’ll find a Stil ice cream shop, coffee shop, and Wyld Child burger restaurant, all within walking distance. A quick 3–5 minute drive brings you to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, downtown Boise, and BSU. On the 4th of July, enjoy fireworks views from Ann Morrison Park right from the front porch.

Guests have access to the entire home, except for a small basement that remains locked during stays. For transparency, there is an exterior security camera facing only the front door and front yard.

We love our neighbors and ask guests to do the same by observing quiet hours after 10 PM and parking thoughtfully without blocking nearby driveways or mailboxes.

A $100 pet fee per stay applies and is collected after booking through the guest portal (or a small pet deposit for mid-term or longer stays).

Whether you’re visiting Boise for work, play, or a relaxing getaway with your pet, Little Blue Bungalow offers comfort, convenience, and a truly welcoming stay. 🐾💙

Boise stay

This is a great property, well maintained and close in to downtown Boise. Great back yard for the dogs to play and the neighborhood is so quiet. We loved it so much we booked out Thanksgiving stay there.

Great place to stay

Really enjoyed our time in the Blue Bungalow. Great location. Quiet neighborhood. The house was stocked with everything we needed (extra blankets, kitchen amenities, etc.). Yard and house were very dog friendly. Hope to stay there again.

3 Cs- clean comfortable and cozy

Enjoyed my stay! Did not have to deal with the noises at a hotel or finding a parking! Very thoughtfully set up with pretty much everything from a coffee pot to shampoo! Hoping it’s available when I come back in July/August.

I wish more hosts and properties were this great

This is the second time I have stayed at this property. I was on a 4-month road trip and stayed here on my first pass through Boise (liked it so much came back a second time). In four months I stayed at over 15 VRBO’s and just as many hotels. This is by far my favorite place. The hosts attention to detail is wonderful and the house has a great (truly fenced in) backyard for my pup. I highly recommend the Little Blue Bungalow!

Loved Little Blue Bungalow

An older home that has obviously had a lot of attention paid to it to make it more modern and comfortable. It was a cozy house with a nice yard that has been recently landscaped. We traveled with our dog and it worked out very nicely to have the fenced yard. It is in an older neighborhood but it was quiet and we had no issues with neighbors. There were three of us and the sofa bed was comfy for our daughter. All around a nice holiday weekend in Boise. Much better than a hotel in our opinion.

Everything as Advertized

Property was very clean and all the appointments seem new. The central air was great, kept everything comfortable. The bed was firm with a nice pillow top, and we slept great. Can't say enough about the backyard, our dogs had plenty of room to romp. They loved lounging in the grass and got teased the whole week by two neighborhood squirrels. Trees around the property gave us shade in the backyard, so we could hang out outside. We would love to stay here again!

Boise Little Blue Bungalow Review

Myself, my husband and our chocolate lab stayed in the Little Blue Bungalow for one night and our stay was great! It’s so hard to find pet-friendly vacation rentals for a reasonable price in the Boise area and our dog loved the fenced in yard! The location was close to downtown and convenient to amenities. The neighborhood was nice and the property was spotless! The kitchen was stocked with everything you need and it was very easy to get in touch with the property manager. If we need a vacation rental in Boise in the future I will definitely look into the Little Blue Bungalow first!

Bed, linens and towels were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. Backyard was quiet and relaxing. The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with about the home.

Cute cottage getaway with AMAZING kitchen amenities

Thank you for making this stay so comfortable, convienient, and special for me (age 43) and my parents (72). The check-in process was super easy for them, arriving ahead of me. They couldn't stop raving about how wonderful the bnb was, how convenient it was to be able to cook everything we wanted to and access literally every direction of town on bike. This was a very special getaway for them on their tandem bicycle. We also enjoyed the convenience of logging into Netflix on the big screen Roku. Everything was clean and comfy. Nice bathroom, lush green lawn. The front porch and back patio are both wonderful for an afternoon or evening hang with a book. I will say that the pull-out couch was the only teenie tiny minor weak point, but I found that creating a bed of the couch cushions on the floor was pretty cozy and nice. A very minor bump in an otherwise dazzling, 5-star experience. I can't recommend this place enough, especially for a traveling couple!
