DOG-FRIENDLY + PRIVATE DOG RUN
We're happy to welcome well-behaved dogs at The Boone!
While the home's lawn and general yard are NOT fenced, there is a separate, private dog run that is fenced and enclosed for guest convenience.
The dog run is a great added convenience for guests traveling with dogs, but it is not a professionally constructed kennel or pet-containment system. Guests should inspect the area before use and supervise their dogs whenever they are outside.
WHY “THE BOONE”?
The home is named in honor of William Judson Boone, the founding president of the College of Idaho, located just across the street.
The College held its first class in 1891 with only two students, and Boone went on to lead the school for 45 years. His influence and legacy remain an important part of the College of Idaho today.
The home's newest owners are College of Idaho alumni, making this home and its location especially meaningful to them. Naming it The Boone is a nod to the history across the street and to a place that has been an important part of their own story.
They're excited to share The Boone with fellow alumni, visiting families, future Yotes, and guests discovering Caldwell for the first time.
We hope you enjoy making a few memories here of your own.
Guests have private access to the main living areas of The Boone and designated outdoor guest spaces throughout their reservation.
GUEST ENTRY — PLEASE READ
Your primary guest entrance is located at the BACK of the home and is equipped with a keypad. Your unique 4-digit access code and check-in instructions will be provided prior to arrival.
Please use the back door as your primary entrance and exit throughout your stay.
The front door locks when closed and does NOT have a guest keypad. We do not provide a physical key for the front door.
If you exit through the front door and it locks behind you, simply walk around the exterior of the home and use the keypad at the back entrance to re-enter.
PARKING
The Boone sits on a corner lot with a private driveway that generally accommodates 2–3 vehicles, depending on vehicle size and how they are parked.
The driveway is accessed directly from the main road—there is no need to drive through or use the alley to access the property.
Additional street parking is typically available nearby on a first-come, first-served basis.
LAUNDRY
A washer and dryer are conveniently located on the main floor and are available for guest use.
BASEMENT & PRIVATE STORAGE
The home does have a basement; however, the basement is locked and is NOT included in the guest-accessible space.
The basement is used as a private cleaning and supply area for our management team. Guests do not need basement access for laundry or any other advertised guest amenity.
Please do not attempt to access the basement or other locked owner/management storage areas.
DOG RUN & OUTDOOR SPACE
Guests have access to the back patio, BBQ, lawn, and designated dog run.
Please remember that the general lawn and yard are NOT fenced. Only the separate dog run is fenced and enclosed.
TRASH
The rear of the driveway backs up to an alley where the home's garbage bins are located. The bins remain there for weekly collection and do not need to be moved to the street.
Please place bagged household trash inside the appropriate bins.
We want you to feel at home while still enjoying your privacy.
Check-in is completely contactless using the keypad at the back entrance, so there's no need to coordinate an in-person arrival.
Our local management team is available through your booking platform's messaging system if you have questions, need assistance, or something comes up during your stay.
For the quickest response—and so our team can keep everything related to your reservation in one place—we ask that you keep reservation-related communication within the booking platform whenever possible.
If you discover something that needs our attention, please let us know as soon as reasonably possible during your stay. Photos are extremely helpful when reporting a concern.
We appreciate the opportunity to inspect and address concerns while you're still at the property rather than learning about them after checkout.
Otherwise, we'll give you the space to settle in, relax, and enjoy The Boone!
The Boone sits in one of Caldwell's most convenient locations, directly across from the College of Idaho campus.
It's an especially convenient home base for college visits, sporting events, graduation, visiting students and family, rodeo weekends, wine-country trips, and exploring the Treasure Valley.
Nearby attractions include:
• College of Idaho — directly across from the home
• Indian Creek Plaza — dining, shopping, seasonal events and ice skating
• Downtown Caldwell restaurants and coffee shops
• Canyon County Fair & Rodeo Grounds
• Snake River Valley wineries
• Local parks and walking paths
• Convenient access to I-84 and the surrounding Treasure Valley
The Boone is located in an established, lived-in area near the college and a busy roadway. Guests should expect the normal activity that comes with this convenient location, including pedestrians, students, vehicle traffic, sporting events, school activities, deliveries, neighbors, and occasional campus or roadway noise.
For guests who want to experience Caldwell while staying especially close to the College of Idaho, it's hard to beat the location.
We want every guest to have a great stay at The Boone, and we believe the best way to do that is to be transparent about the home and property before you book.
Please review the following details carefully to make sure The Boone is a good fit for your stay.
🐾 DOGS & DOG FEES
We are happy to welcome well-behaved dogs!
• Dog fee: $50 per pet, per stay
• Maximum: 2 dogs per reservation
If you are traveling with more than 2 dogs, please contact us before booking to see if we can accommodate your group. Additional dogs require prior approval and may be subject to additional dog fees.
All dogs must be included on the reservation, and applicable dog fees must be paid.
Undisclosed or unauthorized dogs will incur a $200 fee, where permitted by applicable law and booking-platform policy.
This fee is separate from our standard dog fee and is intended to address dogs brought onto the property without disclosure or approval. Guests remain responsible for any additional documented cleaning or actual property damage caused by the animal.
This fee does not apply to qualifying service animals where prohibited by applicable law or booking-platform policy.
🐕 DOG RUN & DOG SAFETY — PLEASE READ
The home's lawn and general yard are NOT fenced.
The Boone provides a separate, private dog run that is fenced and enclosed for guest convenience.
The dog run is not professionally constructed to kennel or pet-containment standards. Although fenced and enclosed, there may be gaps, variations in fencing, ground clearance, gates, or other conditions that may not safely contain every size, breed, age, or temperament of dog.
The property is located near a busy street. Dogs should never be left outdoors unattended.
Guests are expected to:
• Inspect the dog run before allowing their dog to use it
• Supervise dogs, particularly while outdoors
• Use a leash or additional precautions when appropriate
• Keep gates securely closed
• Prevent excessive barking or disturbances
• Pick up all dog waste from indoor and outdoor areas
• Prevent dogs from damaging the home, furnishings, linens, landscaping, or property
The dog run is provided as a convenience and should not be relied upon as guaranteed pet containment. Guests are responsible for determining whether the area is appropriate for their individual animal and for their animal's safety, behavior, and well-being.
🐕🦺 SERVICE ANIMALS & EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS
Service animals and emotional support animals are accommodated in accordance with applicable law and the policies of the booking platform through which the reservation is made.
Qualifying service animals are not subject to our standard pet fee where prohibited by applicable law or platform policy.
.
Assistance animals must remain under the guest's control, be housebroken, and remain accompanied by their handler as required by applicable law and booking-platform policy.
Guests are expected to clean up after their animal and remain responsible for actual property damage or extraordinary cleaning caused by the animal.
Normal animal hair or dander alone is not considered damage or excessive cleaning for a qualifying service animal.
Guests remain responsible for documented extraordinary cleaning or actual property damage caused by an animal, where permitted by applicable law and booking-platform policy.
This may include excessive mud or dirt, dog waste, urine, feces, vomit, blood or other bodily fluids, significant staining, odor remediation, or other conditions requiring cleaning beyond a normal turnover.
When extraordinary cleaning is required, we may request reimbursement for the documented reasonable additional cost actually incurred.
🔥 SEASONAL GAS FIREPLACE
The living room gas fireplace is a seasonal amenity, typically turned on and available approximately October through March.
Exact start and end dates may vary based on weather, maintenance, operating conditions, or seasonal temperatures. Fireplace availability outside the normal operating season is not guaranteed.
Please do not attempt to turn on the gas supply, relight the pilot, or modify the fireplace if it has been seasonally shut off. If you experience an issue during its normal operating season, please contact us.
🌳 BACK PATIO, BBQ & OUTDOOR AMENITIES
The back patio, BBQ, outdoor furniture, dog run, lawn, and other outdoor features are exposed to the elements.
Their condition and usability can be affected by rain, snow, wind, dust, pollen, leaves, insects, irrigation, seasonal temperatures, and other outdoor conditions.
We make reasonable efforts to prepare and maintain these areas, but outdoor spaces cannot reasonably be maintained to the same cleanliness standard as the interior of the home.
Please clean the BBQ after use.
🌱 LAWN CARE & PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
Routine lawn care is generally performed once a week on Thursday mornings.
Guests may see or hear our lawn-care or property-maintenance team outside during their stay. Scheduling may occasionally change because of weather, holidays, or operational needs.
Routine exterior maintenance does not require access to the interior of the home.
🗑️ GARBAGE COLLECTION
Garbage bins are located in the alley behind the driveway and intentionally remain there for collection.
Weekly garbage collection is generally Friday morning. Guests may see or hear normal sanitation activity during collection.
The bins do not need to be moved to the street.
🚪 BACK ENTRANCE & FRONT DOOR
The guest keypad is located at the BACK entrance, which should be used as your primary entrance and exit.
The front door locks when closed and does not have a guest keypad. We do not provide a physical key for the front door.
If you exit through the front and it locks behind you, simply walk around the exterior of the home and use the keypad at the back entrance to re-enter.
🔒 LOCKED BASEMENT & STORAGE
The home has a basement; however, the basement is locked and is NOT included in the guest-accessible space.
It is used as a private cleaning and supply area for our management team.
A washer and dryer are available for guests on the main floor, so basement access is not required for laundry or any advertised amenity.
Other locked closets, cabinets, or storage areas may also be reserved for owner or management use. Please do not attempt to access locked or restricted areas.
🏡 OLDER HOME CHARACTER
The Boone is a renovated Craftsman bungalow and is not new construction.
As with many older homes, guests may notice characteristics such as settling, variations or slight unevenness in flooring, older construction details, unique room configurations, normal creaks or sounds, variations in finishes, and other imperfections associated with the home's age and character.
These characteristics are part of an older home and should not automatically be mistaken for cleanliness or maintenance issues.
🎓 COLLEGE, ROAD & NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITY
The home is located directly across from the College of Idaho and near a busy street.
This is one of the home's greatest conveniences, but guests should expect normal activity associated with a residential area near a college campus and roadway.
This may include pedestrians, students, vehicle traffic, sporting events, school activities, deliveries, emergency vehicles, neighbors, landscaping, construction, and occasional campus or roadway noise.
Activity occurring outside the property is outside the host's control.
🐜 PESTS, INSECTS & WILDLIFE
The home is professionally cleaned and receives normal property care; however, Idaho has seasonal insects and wildlife.
Guests may occasionally encounter flies, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, wasps, squirrels, or other insects or wildlife in or around the property, particularly when exterior doors or windows are left open.
An occasional insect or wildlife sighting does not necessarily indicate an infestation or lack of cleanliness.
If you notice an unusual or significant pest issue, please contact us promptly so we have an opportunity to inspect and address it.
📹 EXTERIOR SECURITY CAMERAS & SMART HOME SYSTEMS
For property security and guest safety, exterior security cameras are installed and clearly visible. There are no cameras located inside the guest living areas.
Please refer to the booking platform's security-device disclosure for the locations and coverage of exterior cameras.
The property's Wi-Fi also supports smart-home and access systems. Please do not tamper with, cover, unplug, disable, or intentionally interfere with security cameras, smart locks, routers, or other property security/access equipment.
🧹 CLEANLINESS & REPORTING CONCERNS
The home is professionally prepared between reservations, and we work hard to provide a clean and comfortable space.
If something is not up to standard when you arrive or you discover a concern during your stay, please contact us through the booking platform as soon as reasonably possible.
Photos are extremely helpful when reporting a concern.
Please give our team a reasonable opportunity to inspect and, when appropriate, correct reported issues during the reservation.
🔧 MAINTENANCE, APPLIANCES & UTILITIES
The Boone is a real home, and occasionally appliances, internet service, utilities, plumbing, HVAC equipment, electronics, or other household items may unexpectedly require repair or maintenance.
Utility or internet outages can also occasionally occur because of service-provider issues, weather, construction, or circumstances outside our control.
Please notify us promptly if something isn't working properly. We will make reasonable efforts to troubleshoot, repair, provide updates, or find an appropriate solution.
Repair timing may depend on technician availability, replacement parts, utility providers, weather, holidays, or other circumstances outside our control.
📸 LISTING PHOTOS, FURNISHINGS & DÉCOR
Listing photos are intended to accurately represent the overall home and its advertised features.
Furnishings, décor, linens, household items, outdoor furniture, landscaping, and other non-essential items may occasionally be replaced, rearranged, or updated because of normal use, damage, maintenance, or improvements.
Minor differences that do not materially affect the home's advertised use or amenities may occur.
⏰ EARLY CHECK-IN & LATE CHECK-OUT
Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability and must be requested and approved in advance.
Please respect your confirmed check-in and checkout times. Unauthorized late departures can interfere with our cleaning team's ability to prepare the home for incoming guests and may result in additional charges where permitted.
👥 OCCUPANCY, PARTIES & EVENTS
The home accommodates a maximum of 6 overnight guests.
The reservation should accurately reflect the guests and dogs staying at the property. Please contact us before adding additional overnight guests, visitors, or dogs beyond those included with your reservation.
Parties, events, and disruptive gatherings are not permitted.
Please respect our neighbors and observe quiet hours.
👶 CHILD SAFETY
Children are welcome at The Boone; however, the home is not babyproofed or childproofed.
Safety gates, outlet covers, cabinet locks, furniture anchors, and other child-safety devices may not be installed.
Parents and guardians are responsible for determining whether the home is appropriate for their children and for supervising children throughout the stay.
💥 DAMAGE
Guests are responsible for documented damage or extraordinary cleaning caused by themselves, their visitors, or animals during the reservation beyond normal wear and tear, subject to applicable law and booking-platform policies.
The standard dog fee and unauthorized-pet fee are not damage deposits or damage waivers and do not cover property damage or excessive cleaning.
Examples of animal-related damage may include scratched doors, walls or floors; chewed or damaged trim; torn, scratched or stained furniture; damaged bedding or rugs; and damage to landscaping, fencing, gates, or the dog run.
When damage or extraordinary cleaning occurs, we may request reimbursement for the documented reasonable cost actually incurred to clean, repair, remediate, or replace the affected property, as permitted by applicable law and booking-platform policies.
Please report accidental damage promptly. Early communication often allows us to prevent a small problem from becoming a larger one.
💬 PLEASE GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
If something isn't right, please tell us.
We cannot address an issue we don't know about. Please report concerns through the booking platform as soon as they are discovered and give our team a reasonable opportunity to investigate and address them during your reservation.
By booking The Boone, guests acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to review the listing description, amenities, house rules, and disclosed characteristics of the property when determining whether the home is appropriate for their stay.
