From busy Victory Road, this modern home on an acre of land in suburban southwest Boise indeed looks like a miniature of the White House in Washington, D.C. Jeannette and Pablo Tan-Baldazo bought the inn in 1985 and added antique touches to the two spacious guest rooms. Breakfast is served in the formal dining room. And it's only natural that the bride and groom spend the first night of their honeymoon in BJ's bridal suite. Overlooking the garden itself, the suite has a full entertainment center and a deck accessed through French doors. There are two other smaller rooms.
Breakfast is served in the bright garden room or the formal dining room.
Guests may gather before the fireplace for late-afternoon snacks or retire to the television room if there's a show that just can't be missed. An interesting aspect for many guests is that it's heated by a geothermal steam. A six-bedroom bed and breakfast since 1987, Boise's first, it perpetuates the atmosphere of its heyday with antique furnishings and a wide range of political memorabilia. Owner Phyllis Lupher prepares a gourmet breakfast for guests each morning and serves it, in summer, on an outdoor patio. Its decor is highlighted by a sitting room with a player piano, a parlor with a fireplace, and original leaded glass and bay windows throughout.
