Bed and Beer in Boise's Historic North End

Bed and Beer Experience

Historic Franklin House is a bed and beer that operates a backyard beer garden open from 5 to 10pm. The beer garden has two large fire pits, a dozen hanging hammock chairs, and a bar serving a rotating selection of drinks. Guests can meet fellow travelers around chalkboard tables or on soft benches scattered throughout the garden.

Rooms & Common Spaces

The house offers rooms with names - such as the Skye room on the main floor with a private bathroom and walk-in shower - rather than numbers. Upstairs, most rooms share a hall bathroom, while the Sage room on the main floor provides easy access for guests who need a room without stairs. Inside the front door, guests find a living room, a sitting area, and a fully equipped kitchen stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, and a coffee maker programmed to brew at 7am each morning.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The property sits in the North End district, less than 1km from the Idaho State Capitol and a 14-minute walk from Boise Centre. Idaho Central Arena is 1.4km away, while Boise Art Museum and Idaho Black History Museum are within 2km. Boise Airport is 7km from the house, and Quinn's Pond Beach is 2.4km away.

Amenities & Services

Guests benefit from free on-site private parking, complimentary high-speed WiFi, and air conditioning throughout the non-smoking property. A laundry service, baby safety gates, and board games are available for guest use. The property is secured with 24-hour security, CCTV outside, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms.

Special Policies

A 21-year age requirement applies to all guests because of the attached beer garden. Check-in and check-out are handled easily through communication with hosts Jen and Gavin, who provide welcome texts and can be reached for any needs. A complimentary beer is offered on arrival, and coffee is available each morning in the kitchen.
