White House is a monument to the history of Boise. This property is named after the White Family, who built the house in 1948. The house remained in the ownership of the Whites and their descendants for three generations until the current owners saved it from developer demolition in the fall of 2018.

Beginning in 2019 this beautiful home went through an amazing transformation! Tastefully modernized incorporating custom accents, while preserving historic appeal, the house integrates thoughtfully designed themed bedrooms in recognition of the diversity of the many immigrants that helped to forge the West and build our town.

Reviews

Staff Retreat
5/5 stars
We loved this house so much last year, we booked it again for our 2023 staff retreat. This house provided a great environment for our staff who traveled from out of town to meet up with those who live here locally.

Home is well organized and has plenty of room for big groups! We had 7 guys there for a golf tournament and we had zero issues!

NIcely remodeled home!
5/5 stars
We stayed two nights at the White House. It is a beautiful home, with lots of open space and plenty of bedrooms. Our grandkids enjoyed the bunkbeds with the "secret door" leading to the bathroom. It is very convenient to getting around Boise. We would definitely consider booking this home again!

Family Stay
5/5 stars
We travelled to Boise for a family wedding. My parents, our daughters and 2 grandkids stayed at the White House. We adored this house! It is deceptively spacious, bright and beautiful. I had never booked anything other than hotels and this was wonderful for our family to be able to be together! The property management was so friendly and flexible. We would absolutely stay here again!!
- Lisa
Wonderful Stay
5/5 stars
The White House was comfortable for a larger group. The house is in a great neighborhood which provides quick access to downtown Boise. We would stay here again.
- Lindsey
5 Star home
5/5 stars
We loved staying at the White House. Our family of 8 came to Idaho for the holidays. The house has a perfect set up. It is clean and modern. Having 5 bathrooms is a lifesaver when you have a big family. 5 Star rating from me!
- Laura
Boise Thanksgiving
5/5 stars
The home was everything it was advertised to be. 8 young and mid range adults stayed there 6 night. The bedroom and bathroom layouts were perfect. We filled the kitchen with food, mastered a 1,000 piece puzzle on the dining room table and played lots and lots of Poker on the amazing poker table in the game room. We all loved the large sofa and Big Screen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would do it all over again if the situation arises.
- Susie

I can't say enough about how fabulous our stay was at the White House. We were celebrating my 50th birthday and felt so pampered. Thank you for all the little details and easy communication. We will definitely be back!
- Kelly
Such an amazing home
5/5 stars
We had an amazing time in Boise and this home made it even better! We had a large group to accommodate each needing personal space and this house was perfect. The house is beautifully decorated, all the amenities you would need for a comfortable stay and lots of space to relax. Icing on the cake was the little surprise welcome bag and small personal touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. This place has set the bar for hospitality and comfort! If we are ever back in Boise we would absolutely come back to this place!
- Adam
Great stay in Boiss
5/5 stars
This VRBO was the perfect location for our visit to Boise to visit family. It looks recently renovated, and was beautiful and very comfortable. The home has a lot of personal touches and nice amenities that helped make our stay that much better. Our communication with them was easy and quick. Thanks for a great stay!
- Brianne
Such a Cute House!!
5/5 stars
After a hiccup with the original house we had booked, iTrip had this one available and we are so glad we stayed here!! The home is really cute, well laid out, and very comfortable. Having grown up in Boise it was great to see that this house has been remodeled instead of torn down and something new put in its place. As it was a girl's trip we had some girlfriends over and they all loved the house. The little gift bags and the snacks and wine were a very pleasant and very appreciated touch. We will definitely book this house again when we come back to visit!
- Michelle
Best property ever for our annual bicycling week
5/5 stars
Our group of 7 agreed that the White House is the best-equipped, beautifully furnished property we’ve stayed at. We’ve rented homes in Oregon, Washington and Idaho over the years and the White House surpassed all of those. Extra touches like bags filled with toiletries in the bathrooms and a snack/beverage basket in the kitchen were totally unexpected and appreciated. This is a roomy 2-story home with space for everyone, a lovely yard (thankfully no pets allowed) and plenty of off-street parking. Definitely a 5 star rental.
- Rebecca
Blissful stay
5/5 stars
We had an incredible stay at this home, it was clean, EXTREMELY well-kept and organized. It was spacious and cozy in the different themed rooms. The basement was great for kids to play. We are definitely booking this house again if we come back to Idaho!
- Michael & Darya
Beautiful house!

As beautiful on the inside as it is quaint on the outside! Close to plenty of Boise attractions to keep entertained. Bedrooms are spacious and comfy!
- Susan
A Perfect Stay
5/5 stars
The “White House” is beautiful. Newley remodeled with the best of everything. It’s amenities are unusually noteworthy for a short term rental: crisp white sheets, more towels than even our family could use, a welcome basket, fresh flowers, etc. It felt more like a spa with really nice interior decorating. Unusual and unexpected, but VERY appreciated. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
- David
Clean, Responsive, and great location!
5/5 stars
Our stay at the White House was perfect. We were so thankful to have AC running while it was 100+ degrees during our stay. The house was spacious, well equipped with all essentials, and extremely clean and tidy. The hosts were quick to respond through text message. Location is great, only a 10 minute drive into the heart of downtown. Our group would definitely stay here again!
- Laura
Best Boise Family Rental
5/5 stars
This was our second stay in this great home. It is perfect for a large family gathering. Lots of room to spread out, an amazing kitchen and lots of parking. Very clean and tidy and we were welcomed with fresh flowers and a bottle of wine! If you are looking for a great rental, look no further.
- Susan

This is an awesome house for a family!
5/5 stars
We were in town to celebrate our Son's engagement and to also have an early Thanksgiving. This house was absolutely perfect for our family! The kitchen is spacious and plenty of room for everyone to hang out. The downstairs area with sofa, tv, games and game table was where we spent a lot of our evenings. The beds are comfy and everything was clean and beautiful! We will be staying here every time we come to Boise!!!
- Susan

HI Susan, We are so happy you enjoyed your visit with family here in Boise and spending time at White House! We agree, its a great space to congregate and relax! We look forward to hosting you again!

Amazing Home
5/5 stars
This home is amazing. The love that went into the remodel and restoration is obvious. We stayed 5 nights and really appreciated all the room , the kids took over the huge basement and loved it..The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The home was spotless, the beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels. The furnishings and appliances are all new and top of the line. Parking was plentiful on the street and next to the home. The location made it easy to access the entire Boise area. Darlene from itravel was great to work with. I would highly recommend this home.
