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.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to the main living areas of The Boone and designated outdoor guest spaces throughout their reservation.

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.

Please place bagged household trash inside the appropriate bins.

PARKING

Interaction with Guests:

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!
