Seasonal Bugs:

The property offers a quiet city-meets-country setting. Like most properties in this type of environment, seasonal insects may be present outdoors during summer and early fall (flies and small beetles). Regular pest control is maintained.

Nampa is home to this vacation home. The Village at Meridian and Boise Towne Square Mall are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's popular attractions can visit Roaring Springs Waterpark. Jabbers and Nampa Civic Center are also worth visiting.
