A perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts, families with kids, and anyone who enjoys a fun craft beer scene, Boise is an awesome getaway that is still a bit under the radar. It’s also a quirky place with lots of interesting places to stay to get to know the local vibe. Airbnb rentals are plentiful in Boise, and these are some of the very best ones to call your home base while you explore the city and entire region.
Big Idaho Potato Hotel
One of the most unique and interesting places to stay in Boise is the Big Idaho Potato Hotel. This popular spot is a farm stay that you’ll have all to yourself and is literally the experience of staying inside a potato getaway. It’s great for two people and has one bed and one bath. Guests stay in a six-ton potato that was recycled from the Idaho Potato Commission’s Big Idaho Potato Tour. It’s on 400 acres of farmland that’s south of downtown Boise now after being redesigned by the Big Idaho Potato Tour spokesperson. Inside, you’ll find a mini-fridge, old records, custom bed, and power outlets. Guests can use the silo-turned-spa-retreat for a soak under the stars. Other amenities are air conditioning, heating, a coffeemaker, and free parking. Stay here for an experience you won’t find in any other state!
36th Street Urban Yurt
Another very unique place to stay in Boise if you love the Airbnb experience is this yurt that accommodates up to six guests. It has three beds, one bath, and is 20 feet in size. It’s on a 0.36-acre garden oasis with a clawfoot tub and shower in a detached shop. The yurt itself has wood floors, electricity, gas stove, ceiling fan, and thermostat to stay comfortable. Outside, you can enjoy the outdoor fireplace, pergola, and lawn. For groups of more than two people, you can request that one or both of the futons be made up or even a pack-and-play for children upon request. Earplugs are provided to help with the noise you might hear along 36th Street.
