Great property with lots of beds.
This property was beautiful and very clean. It had plenty of beds for our large group of 15. The back deck was fantastic to sit on and enjoy the evening. The hot tub was clean and looked fairly new. The kitchen was a little small but we ordered pizza from next door which was delicious. The manager was kind to respond and quick to help. I would highly recommend staying here.

We had a great time at the Albion Haunted Mansions and the location of the cottage was perfect. Heather was very responsive. Pictures of the basement rooms would be helpful for planning.

Quiet Labor Day weekend
The campus is beautiful and quiet in a charming small town. The merchentile shop next door is super convenient and quaint as well. We enjoyed exploring the Albion mountains (Lake Cleveland and City of Rocks).

Burley family reunion retreat
the President's Cottage was charming. We really enjoyed the quiet of the property. The jets on the spa didn't work. There were quite a few dead bugs and flys in the the window. A swatter would have been useful. We enjoyed meeting Jeralee and her kindness for checking on us.

Perfect, perfect, peefect
This property was is the perfect location! We had a family wedding in Rupert. In-laws live right off the 77 in Declo. Close to the freeway and the mountains. Much closer to the grocery store in Burley than you think. The little gas station/mini mart is well stocked! The house is laid out perfect for a large group so that everyone isn't sleeping on top of each other. Plenty of room to spread out during the day/evening. Beautiful deck!! The kitchen had plenty of room and was well supplied. The ac unit is quite an upgrade and works beautifully! The campus is beautiful and inviting with green grass and beautifully maintained old, brick buildings. We had travlers from 24 -86 years old and everyone was comfortable and happy. Can't say that very often: especially if we had booked hotel rooms. Thank you so much for your work, time, and money into keeping the campus alive. It's a treasure for the history books, the local community, and travelers. I will return when I come to visit my son. Maybe during the Christmas season to catch it all made up.

Lovely Home, Historic and Beautiful Setting, SO Much to See and Do!
Our family loved everything about our stay in The President's Cottage. The home is beautiful and comfortable, the hosts are excellent--available and helpful. There are many fun things to do on site at the beautiful Albion Campus Retreat--we enjoyed the deck, hot tub, huge lawns, swimming pool, and historic buildings and museum. There are also many outdoor adventures in the area--we loved hiking, biking, bouldering, rock climbing and more! Our family had a wonderful week and would love to return soon.

Best Albion Stay
Albion's President's House is the best place to stay for many reasons. The house is clean and charming. The home has been well-kept-up, as well as the property. It's located in a historical and beautiful setting. The Idaho Normal School is an important part of this state's history. Albion is also close to skiing, rock-climbing, and other outdoors pursuits.

Excellent Hospitality. Great Value
Our Group stays in 6 to 8 VRBO's a year. We have experienced the full spectrum of houses offered. Heather and her team are not just renting a house on the side they are providing professional hospitality and a quality residence. During our stay the staff checked in to make sure everything was working properly, the kitchen is supplied with all the necessities to make a great meal, all the appliances were in good condition, plenty of towels and sheets on hand and of course the house was very clean. If your in the area this is a perfect place to stay.

Our Family had a 75th Surprise Birthday party in Rupert. All my sisters and brothers decided to go and vacancy was limited in the area. We decided to rent the house and it accomadered 5 families. There was 15 total guests. We can’t wait to visit again and have already talked about planning a longer trip to the Albion house!

Great for skiing in Pomerelle
Many areas in the house are renovated, but after coming in you know the house is old. The kitchen is small and you have to eat in the living room (there is a larger dedicated table). We found not enough silverware, plates, mugs, but it was enough pots and pans. There is enough beds to accommodate 16 people; however due to small kitchen, I cannot imagine 16 people to live there and eat meals in the same time.
The property owner is very nice and responsive.
I loved one thing in the house: Hot Tub. It was amazing to enjoy the hot tub after skiing whole day. Amazing! I give the maximum rate of 5. Please be aware that the house is older and the kitchen is small (and that there is an amazing hot tub in the back!!).

Nice clean accomodations.
Albion is a small little town setting with this cute little house. The home was clean, and beds were comfortable. We only used the bedrooms on the first floor. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, pans etc. I had to contact Heather a couple of times and she was always very responsive and helpful. We were challenged to find the house by GPS (kept bringing us to the street behind the home). But once we figured it out it was a nice location.

Perfect small town family getaway!
What a fun place to get family together. There is a cute city park down the street that the Grand kids had fun playing at. City of Rocks had some fun hikes and climbing routes. The grounds around the house were beautiful with fall colors. The hot tub added that extra fun evening time with the kids. We would defiantly stay here again!
