About this property

Zinc Spur, Spacious Private Retreat, Great for family events, Pet Friendly!

We are pet friendly, (2 dog maximum) $100. for the first dog, $50. additional for each dog thereafter. Fees for second dog will be added after booking. No cats please.

We are located on over 2.5 forested acres in the desirable mid-valley. Just a 5-minute drive to Hailey and 10 minutes to Ketchum and the River Run Lodge and Gondola.

The home is a very large (approximately 4,000 square feet) 5 bedroom/4 bath home that sleeps up to16. This home was designed for entertaining many guests. It is comfortably stocked and with so much space, it is perfect place for family and friends to get together.

The property is uniquely designed so that the five bedrooms & a loft fold bed are discretely tucked away from each other, providing plenty of privacy for everyone. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds and a master bedroom with a king bed. There is also a queen size futon in the loft and an additional studio attached to the garage with a queen bed accommodating 12 guests. We also have 4 folding twin mattresses to you can place on the floor accommodating an extra 4 guests. (great for the kids)

What you will love about this property are the glorious vaulted ceilings with floor to ceiling windows, cozy gas fireplaces & the location and views out onto the seasonal creek. With multiple patios, there is plenty of outside space for entertaining, relaxing in the hot tub, or just playing outside in the glorious Idaho outdoors. All the rooms are spread out so everyone has there own privacy. Have a musician in your group? They will love the 7-foot concert grand piano!

The open living room – dining – kitchen complex (about 1,500 square feet of contiguous space) is the heart of your vacation and entertaining experience. Beautiful dining room table that seats up to 12 and additional kitchen bar seating. Multiple doors provide easy access to brick patios, the barbeque and hot tub, all in a natural wooded setting. In addition, the living room features a 7-foot concert grand piano, foosball table, TV and plenty of seating. This downstairs living space is augmented by a 300 square foot loft overlooking the living room, which provides a quiet place to retreat and talk.

The kitchen is upgraded and well stocked with pot, pans, utensils and dishware for 20. It is open to the dining room where the table seats 12 with additional seating for 6 at the bar. The open floor plan lets the those who are cooking stay connected to the action.

The enormous master suite is located on the second floor, away from other guest rooms. A king bed is warmed by its own fireplace and looks out onto a private balcony nestled in the aspens. The luxurious ensuite master bath features a marble-clad steam shower, jacuzzi tub and architecturally unique flat granite sink. Each of the remaining bedrooms are discretely located and private from the main living spaces, providing the opportunity to relax, read a book or just soak in the location.

For the more introverted guests, one bedroom is completely private, located across the patios with its own private entrance and ensuite bath. Each room has a queen bed and easy access to a bath.

For those of you traveling with kids, we are stocked with baby gates, toys, puzzles, games, pack’n’play, and kids' plastic silverware.

Included is a heated 2+ car garage. While a necessity for keeping your cars out of the snow during the winter, guests have also creatively used the space for indoor games (there is a ping pong table that can be opened), hosting a party (the garage is fully plumbed and has an awesome counter and refrigerator) and storing bikes, skis and all the other things you want to use.



Please contact host, Cheri - 208-703-4403 for details and questions.

OUTSIDE GROUNDS

Outside is a wonderland of what the Wood River Valley offers. We are on 2+ acres of forested land located on a seasonal creek which usually runs April through October (it has sweet little trout - please get a permit before fishing). There is also a large patio off the Main House with a beautiful hot tub.

Our landscaping was designed by a local landscape architect, and the creek-facing side of the property features expansive patios with unique quartzite bench features, hot tub, BBQ grill, firepit, and a beautiful secluded view of mature aspens. You may be lucky enough to see some wildlife.

EVENTS or PARTIES

We will consider events for up to 20 guest's upon approval. Additional fees apply. Event guests cannot park on property. Must arrange shuttle service.

Wedding weekend stay.

Our communication with Cheri, the property manager, was fantastic! The home is as it appears online but the condition of the furnishings was disappointing. It could definitely use some upgrades in bedding and furniture. There were some cleaning issues upon check in but overall it suited our needs for the weekend.

Great property for a large group

This property is very spacious, our group was 10 people and plenty of room for all. If your group is larger, and the guest house for additional people. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prep and cook meals. Propane tank for the BBQ was full and house supplies were plentiful. It is a nice property, well run.

Great Hailey Get away spot

We had a great stay and found the Zinc Spur estate comfortable and well-appointed for our family event. The spacious kitchen and hot tub are the stars of the property as well as the scenic stream just behind the property. The pictures somewhat overstate the property's condition as it is a little worn and dingy after hard winter use. Please note that "sleeps 16-17" involves couches, floor mats, and pouty Gen Z'ers.

Best. Kept. Secret. EVER.

This property is not only convenient but beautiful and spacious. We had a group of 13 women on a meditation retreat and it was perfect. We brought a chef that fell in love with the kitchen and the property had all the space we needed for the activities we engaged in. There was enough parking for 6+ vehicles and the grounds in the fall were just stunning. Thomas, the property manager, was perfect - responsive, understanding and accommodating. We love him!

Perfect for Our Family of Adults

This is the second time we have stayed here as a family. This mid valley location is the perfect size for families with adult children. Plenty of room and privacy when needed. The jacuzzi is perfect after a great day of skiing. So many assets to this property, including multiple washer and dryers, star gazing as you fall asleep in the master bedroom, attached heated garage and most importantly, our 15lb aussiedoodle loves playing in the snow around the home. We loved connecting with our family here and thank you Thomas for being so attentive. Happy New Year!

Everything you need

Location - midway between Ketchum and Hailey, easy access to both. Space - Ah-mazing! Large social gathering spaces, indoor and outside. But separate rooms allowing for those needing some space away. Amenities- Abundant! Kitchen is a dream for a large crowd. Down to the nitty gritty - if you want five star aesthetics it may not be for you until they are done upgrading, which they are actively doing. So the carpets worn, and paint is peeling. All of these very little imperfections do overshadow the amazing space and setting. All the pros of this place make it ideal for the money spent. Even better was the kind and responsiveness of Thomas. The former property manager was cold and TBH, rude. Thomas was easily reachable, and communicated rapidly. He was perfect. If you need a large space for a reunion or large social event- this is your place!!

Hailey Stay

The location of the property was ideal for us. Grocery store and restaurants in Hailey were just down the road. Great skinning and backcountry skiing right across the road. Big kitchen and loved having a heated garage with multiple washers and dryers for all our gear. I stayed for a month and utilized the garage to work on the snowmobiles and repair skis. The house is old and it was literally one issue after the next. One day one, water was steadily dripping in 3 of the bedrooms from a roof leak. While they did come shovel and address it after a phone call, it clearly was an ongoing issue based on the stains. The room smelled damp. While shoveling off the roof, they plugged the vent for the gas fireplace. Not a huge deal except they also sent pieces down the furnace exhaust, rendering that’s out of commission, for 2 weeks. We relied on temporary electric heaters, but the home still dropped to 60 degrees every morning. The other major issue was, while advertised as sleeping 16, only one person could shower at a time or not enough hot water, which is a bit of an issue after a day of skiing. A couple other things that could and should be repaired before renting again. One bedroom has a window that doesn’t open, one has one that doesn’t shut tight. If your sleeping in the loft, you have a direct view of the master bed through a double sided fireplace, very uncomfortable. The advertisement claims luxurious sheets and fine leather furnishings, they could not be found.

Large home, very unique, well equiped, and convenient

Zinc Spur Estate was a great place to stay for us. Although instructions say it might be hard to find, we had no trouble at all finding or accessing the home, day or night. It is near the main highway, so you can hear the landscape-muted traffic from the yard, but the house is quiet and cozy. The house was very large, spacious, and clean, lots of natural light and open space, and had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend. The owner was very responsive to any and all requests, making everything work smoothly. Many comfortable beds, nice bedrooms, and modern bathrooms for guest to thumb-wrestle over, a clean and convenient hot tub, a large pet-friendly yard (not fenced though), plenty of parking space including indoor garage space, and a well equipped kitchen made everyone in our group of 5 happy. Wife and I really liked the very unique upstairs master suite vanity sinks. We had a small hiccup with the hot tub, but it may have been user error. Although it appeared hot and clean on check-in, when our son tried to use it he said it wouldn't hold temperature and cooled down too quickly. We never verified this, and the owner assured us it would be checked out and fully functional for any future guests, and I am sure it will. Light switches were clearly labeled, and settling in was a five-minute affair (minus the room-choosing thumb-wrestling). The location was perfect for us, almost exactly halfway between Hailey and Ketchum, so either town was but 5-10 minutes away. The only thing possibly missing was a little firewood for the outdoor fire pit, and maybe another tabletop/bathstand near the upstairs vanity. We will gladly stay here again when we return to the Sun Valley area, if available. And a huge Thank You to the owner for rescuing and returning our abandoned swimwear.

Amazing and perfect for our family vacation

Booking from pictures and reviews is always hard because you’re not really knowing what you’re getting. This by far was more than we expected the minute we drove in the driveway. The grounds were beautiful and so secluded which we loved! Our group consisted of 10 adults and 6 children under 12. The house was spacious and clean, kitchen was so well stocked for cooking for that many people. Host was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We hope to go again and book this house!

Elopement in Hailey

From the start our host Cheri was very communicative and hospitable. We loved the place. So quiet and housed 11 people, an infant, and our fur baby just fine. Loved the fireplace, kidzone, and the ping pong table! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quaint spacious area for special occasions or just a nice retreat from the noise.

Perfect for family of all ages.

Our entire family came to Hailey/Ketchum for our son’s wedding. Our group was large - so we rented the main house as well as the guest house. The lawn area beautifully accommodated our evening rehearsal dinner. The patio areas at the main house were wonderful. The home itself accommodated our large family so well. In the evenings guests would join us & it never felt cramped or too small. The wonderful dining table was large & perfect. Our grandchildren loved the island with bar chairs to play on their iPads. Such a comfortable welcoming home in a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back. Thomas was a perfect host. Addressed all of our needs & questions.

Family vacation

Great mid-valley accommodation for our family gathering. Slept 12 adults comfortably. Great open floor plan that was fun for visiting and yet enough space to get away. Kitchen had what we needed for preparing meals. BBQ came in handy for grilling. Many enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the creek. Pretty setting in the trees with the creek. 5 minutes to Hailey and 10 minutes to Ketchum. Large garage for storing bikes and other toys and more than adequate laundry facilities. Definitely recommend for a larger group.
