About this property

Ideally Located, Sun Valley Chalet

Welcome to our Sun Valley Chalet! This beautiful home is a cozy winter retreat for ski and snow activities, and a summer refuge surrounded by world class fishing and several golf courses. Please enjoy our home and all the beauty and adventures that Sun Valley and Ketchum have to offer. We are located conveniently right in the center of it all.

All of this, and multiple ski areas are only minutes away, and most within walking and/or biking distance in warmer weather. The 21 mile paved Wood River Bike Trail linking it all is less than a block from the home. In the winter, drop your novice skiers off at Dollar Mountain and enjoy a spectacular day at the River Run and Warm Springs Ski areas, then maybe take a dip in the hot springs! In summer, enjoy world-class fly fishing, river rafting and more! Return home to a memorable dinner with family and friends or a cozy night in front of the fireplace.

Great stay!

Great stay for a group of friends on a ski trip. House was spacious and had everything we needed. Only issue is the key pad to get in died and the back up batteries didn’t work, so we had to use the spare key for the side door. Would recommend replacing keypad. Otherwise, highly recommend this property!

Perfect spot for our time in Ketchum!

We spent two weeks at this property and it was fantastic! The location couldn’t be better being on the north side of town and close to the bike trail. The house itself is a great set up. With four bedrooms downstairs (two of which were bunks) and one upstairs there was plenty of space for multiple families. The upstairs has an open floor plan that allowed for hanging out and relaxing. Cherie was a fantastic hostess! She was timely and helpful with all communications. She has also made the home set up for renters. There were plenty of supplies- towels, paper towels, detergent, etc. The only downside to this rental is that we didn’t book it sooner to ensure we could have been there for our entire trip to Ketchum! We can’t wait to return and book this home again. :)
