Food scene
If you enjoy Ethiopian food, or love to explore new food, Kibrom's is within walking distance of The Cottage! Their takeout is good, but we like to dine in to get it really fresh.

Good foothills entrance 1 mile from The Cottage. It's less busy than the foothills by Camel's Back and Harrisson Hollow. You can hike, run, or bike in this area and get some nice views of Boise!

One of our favorite (and most popular) parks in Boise. It's a 10-minute bike ride from the Cottage, has playgrounds and lots of foothill hiking and biking access.

This is a really fun park with tons to do. There is a big swimmable pond, surfing in the Boise River, restaurants off the Greenbelt and much more.
It's a longer walk, quick bike ride, or short drive from The Cottage. The Pond is big enough for paddle boarding, which you can rent from Idaho River Sports right in the parking lot of the park.
