We had a very enjoyable stay. The space is private and nicely appointed, with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathroom. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, and access to the Wood River Trail is just down the street. Ketchum is an easy drive, walk or bike. This is a very nice property, and we would stay here again.

Cozy stay in Ketchum

We came for 5 nights around Labor Day for a bike event. This home was the perfect place for our trip. The home was clean and cozy. The location was perfect - close to a bike path and downtown. The host made sure everything we could need (and more) was available. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, private retreat

Stayed at this property for a week with a mix of work "at home" (great wifi) and time out to enjoy the surrounding area. Loved the easy access to town and the biking and walking trails. Nice set up for 2 adults and 1 small dog with plenty of storage space to get organized for our longer stay. Easy to reach home owner and the unit sits back from the main house and is very private.
