Great Spring Ski Vacation in Sun Valley

My family and I had an absolutely perfect stay at this host's property. The house was in excellent condition and both the owner and the property manager where extremely helpful and accommodative. The location was prime, both close to town as well as the mountain. Highly recomend this property!

Perfect in so many ways!

We've traveled all over the West (more than 10 trips), with many stays in ski-in/ski-out homes or resort-side hotels. This house was our favorite even though it isn't on the mountain. The house itself is stunning and the hostess couldn't have been nicer. Super convenient to downtown and the River Run base.

A mountain excursion we'll never forget!

We loved our stay in this beautiful mountain home. We arrived late at night, and the house had lamps on, and was nice and toasty warm. It was perfectly clean and ready for us. Everything we needed was there, not a thing was lacking. It was well stocked with anything one may need. We loved that it was super close to town and to the ski resort. We walked to both easily. But if you want to drive to the resort, parking is a breeze too. This will be a memory my husband and I, plus 5 kids will treasure forever. Brenda was responsive if we needed anything, and the whole process was smooth and so enjoyable! We've started 2022 off right! Thanks again for a wonderful place to stay.

Amazing place to stay!

I brought my family up to get out of the Texas heat and take advantage of the gorgeous scenery and activities after I ran a marathon there. I wish I could give this house six stars -- or live here! This is probably a $2 million or more house and is beautifully decorated and abundantly stocked. We stayed here (four adults and an infant) for six wonderful nights and didn't want to leave. The owners were wonderful to work with and even left a bottle of wine and champagne and allowed us to use their sports equipment and personal items (who does that?!). There was so much room to spread out in. And when you wanted to get out, the town was about 1/2 mile one way with lots of good restaurants, including many that are plant-based or vegan. Ketchum was a super friendly, low key but sophisticated place. The gondola is only about 1/2 mile away too so the location is perfect. It would be an easy walk there to ski, and there is no hotel at the base or anywhere near. Also, you are almost next to the fantastic bike trail (I rode on a lot of over three days) and that and the neighborhood are great to walk on or around. And the river is very close so you can soak (we came during a heat wave, but it still felt fine with the low humidity). So the house has more than anything you could possibly want and is worth whatever they are charging, especially if two families are sharing. Thanks for a memorable trip Brenda!

Wonderful home in Ketchum for family ski vacation

This house is in an excellent location and has all the amenities a family could need. We stayed here for mid-winter break with our three boys, ages 6 through 12. The location is perfect for skiing and downtown Ketchum activities. The house is incredibly inviting, warm and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Above and beyond our expectations!!!!!

From the time we walked into this very warm and welcoming home, we were amazed of the beauty and thought put into this designer's home. This home had every amenity you could ever want and need. Looking out the main living room window while sitting on the large window seat, you have a view of majestic mountains with aspens fluttering in the breeze. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful!!! The cute, quaint town of Ketchum is only moments away with many wonderful restaurants and darling shops, and Sun Valley Resort is at most, a ten minute drive. The owner of this property was so helpful in recommending restaurants, hikes, bike trails etc. We will definitely return to this "beautiful" home in Ketchum, Idaho. Hopefully, sooner than later!!!

Incredible Home and Experience!

I wholeheartedly recommend this property and for many reasons!!! First, the owner made us feel welcome from the beginning of our search through the end of our stay. She offered helpful information, accommodated special requests, welcomed us with a note and bottle of wine, etc. She made me feel as though I was staying at a friend's home rather than renting from a stranger. The property manager was also extremely helpful. In addition to being able to retain her services for grocery shopping and baby sitting, she volunteered lots of information that really enhanced our stay - such as restaurant recommendations and short cuts to town. Both were proactive communicators and extremely responsive when we had questions. The listing does not capture this human element, but I find it's probably one of the most important aspects of renting a home. Second, the house is absolutely amazing - the pictures do not do it justice! We found ourselves not wanting to eat out as much as we normally do on vacation so that we could hang out at the house. The main floor layout and wood burning fireplace provided the perfect place to gather at the end of the day. The bedding and linens were high quality and the house was immaculate The owners have thought of every detail and we found the house had everything we needed - including a heated driveway! It was very luxurious. Finally, the location was ideal. We could easily walk (with kids) to the River Run lifts or to town. The free town bus also stops about a block away. For those who plan to walk to ski, I recommend taking advantage of the ski storage at River Run or the bus as the walk would be a little long with skis. I will definitely return to this house in the future!

Fantastic experience in this beautifully appointed home

We absolutely loved our experience at your gorgeous home. The floor plan was ideal for our family with the big great room and seperated sleeping quarters. The two master suites were ideal. We loved the proximity to town, views of the mountains and charming patio to enjoy in the late afternoons. I will definitely book this home again.

Great Home

Stayed here for my birthday with my family and a friend. The home is spacious and has top of the line everything - from kitchen, to bedding etc. It is walkable to the lifts (about 10 minutes) and into town - so location is great. The owner and manager are both a pleasure to work with - answered all questions, made recommendations and were extremely helpful when we realized my wife had forgotten wedding ring, watch and earrings - i.e. a fedex was at our home within 48 hours. Cannot say enough, we will be back.
