We had an absolutely incredible stay at the Love Shack! The location is perfect... centrally located and just minutes from BSU, making it so convenient for everything we had planned.The space itself is spotless, cozy, and full of personality. You can tell so much thought and care has gone into every detail, it truly feels welcoming the moment you walk in.And the host…hands down THE BEST I’ve ever encountered. Shara's attention to detail and genuine care for guests is unmatched. From the thoughtful touches to the complimentary drinks and snacks, everything felt above and beyond. It’s rare to find a host who creates such a warm, memorable experience.In fact, this level of care is exactly why I’ve stayed here twice and I would absolutely stay again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Shara for sharing your beautiful home with us!

I was born and raised in Idaho, I moved to Arizona 8 years ago. I’ve always stayed with family every time we come home to visit but this time I just need my own space not only for myself but for my family. This home away from home was perfect! We had absolutely everything we could ever imagine, the attention to detail and the personal touches are deserving of 10 stars!!
