What a perfect place to call home for a few days. Named quite appropriately the Happy Hive. Everything was exactly as we wanted and everything we needed was available and more. Central and a short trip to every place we visited. We would gladly revisit and book here again when we're back in town. Thank you for making our time in Boise special and comfortable!
