About this property

West Ketchum Retreat - Walk to Town, Trails & River - Private Hot Tub

Welcome to your home base in West Ketchum—a beautifully appointed mountain retreat professionally decorated by a local Sun Valley design team and thoughtfully equipped for families and groups who want to experience everything Ketchum has to offer.

One of the home’s greatest features is its exceptional location. From this quiet West Ketchum neighborhood, you can leave the car behind and walk to the heart of downtown Ketchum in under 10 minutes, reach multiple fishing access points along the Big Wood River, and walk to the River Run gondola and Baldy in just 9 minutes. A convenient shuttle stop is also just 160 yards away—about a 2-minute walk—providing another easy Winter option for getting to River Run and the gondola.

You’re also close to the extensive Wood River Trail system, connecting more than 90 miles in the Ketchum area and 30+ miles of scenic paved pathways throughout the valley. Head out for a morning on Baldy, walk or bike along the river, cast a line in the Big Wood, explore nearby trails, or stroll into town for dinner—all without having to get in the car.

A Professionally Designed Mountain Home

Inside, the home has been professionally decorated by a local Sun Valley design team to create a warm, refined and comfortable mountain retreat. Thoughtfully selected furnishings and inviting gathering spaces give the home the character and comfort of a private residence rather than a typical rental property.

The main living area provides a comfortable place for everyone to gather, while a separate second hangout space gives families and groups room to spread out. With its own comfortable couches and TV, it’s an ideal spot for kids and teens to relax, watch a movie, or simply have their own space while others gather in the main living room. A dedicated card and game table offers another place to spend time together after a day outside.

A Kitchen Made for Gathering

The beautiful, well-appointed kitchen is designed for guests who enjoy cooking and spending time together at home. Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before heading to the mountain, cooking dinner for the family, or grilling outside, you’ll have a comfortable and thoughtfully equipped space for meals throughout your stay.

Four Comfortable Bedrooms & Four Bathrooms

The home’s four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout gives families and groups plenty of space and privacy.

Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. The spacious primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a king bed, comfortable sitting area, walk-in closet, private en-suite bathroom and beautiful mountain views—a quiet place to relax and recharge at the end of the day.

Two additional upstairs bedrooms—one with a king bed and one with a queen bed—each have their own en-suite bathroom, giving guests the comfort and privacy of their own space.

The fourth bedroom, with a queen bed, is located downstairs with a full bathroom conveniently located just outside the bedroom. Its separation from the upstairs bedrooms makes it a comfortable option for guests who prefer a little more privacy or would rather avoid the stairs to the bedroom level.

With four bedrooms and four bathrooms in total, the layout works particularly well for extended families, multiple couples, or families traveling together.

Heating and air conditioning keep the home comfortable year-round, whether you’re visiting for a winter ski trip or spending a summer week exploring the Wood River Valley.

Designed for the Ketchum Lifestyle

This is a home designed for people who come to Sun Valley to get outside.

In addition to a dedicated mudroom, guests have access to a thoughtfully designed gear area in the garage with benches, organized gear storage, dedicated ski storage and a boot-drying system. Come home from a day on Baldy, store your equipment, dry your boots and have everything ready for the next morning.

The setup is equally convenient in summer, with space to organize biking, hiking and fishing gear between adventures.

Relax After a Day Outside

After skiing, hiking, biking or exploring Ketchum, return home and settle into the private hot tub and fire table. Grill dinner outside, enjoy the outdoor seating and mountain views from the balcony, gather around the card table for a game, or spread out between the home’s two separate living areas.

The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces makes the home particularly well suited for families and groups traveling together—everyone can gather when they want to while still having room to find their own space.

The Best of Ketchum, Right Outside Your Door

What makes this home truly special is the combination of thoughtful design, comfort and location:

• Under a 10-minute walk to the heart of downtown Ketchum
• 6-minute walk to multiple Big Wood River access points
• 9-minute walk to the River Run gondola and Baldy
• 2-minute walk (160 yards) to a convenient shuttle stop
• Easy access to the Wood River Trail system and 60+ miles of paved pathways
• Professionally decorated by a local Sun Valley design team
• Beautiful, well-appointed kitchen

• Private hot tub
• Outdoor seating with mountain views
• Outdoor grill
• Dedicated mudroom
• Garage gear room with benches and organized gear storage
• Dedicated ski storage and boot-drying system
• Air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort

Whether your ideal Ketchum day means first tracks on Baldy, a morning on the trails, an afternoon along the Big Wood River, or simply walking into town for dinner, this West Ketchum retreat puts it all within easy reach—and gives you a beautifully designed, exceptionally comfortable place to come home to.

Our stay was perfect. The house was clean, well-equipped, and even nicer than the photos. The kitchen is great, the beds are comfy, and there’s plenty of room. The neighborhood is quiet, there’s an excellent bike path, and our two kids had an amazing time exploring and fishing the nearby river. We ended each night on the beautiful deck enjoying the hot tub and mountain view. The location is top notch. It was a short walk to the downtown shops, bars and restaurants and an equally short walk to River Run Lodge at Bald Mountain. The convenience combined with the peace and quiet was really the best of both worlds. The host was a pleasure to deal with and super responsive whenever we had a question. Our whole booking was effortless. We also noticed the garage is all set up perfectly for ski season (racks for skis and boards, boot dryers, changing bench). It would make an unbelievable basecamp for a ski trip and we’re already making plans to come back in the winter!

The stay was perfect. This home is beautiful, immaculately clean and only steps from town and the mountain. The home has everything you need, with all new furniture, electronics and amazing kitchen. It’s great for a family with 4 large bedrooms and hottub on the roof is perfect after a long day outdoors. The host was very gracious and easy to deal with. The check-in and check-out process was very easy and they were very accommodating when I had questions. The neighborhood is quiet and we walked to the mountain every day (it’s just 5 minutes walking). This was a great vacation and a perfect place! We will definitely come back to this house on our next trip!
