Beautiful River Run Condo on Bike Path-Steps to Gondola & Town

Year Purchased: 2000

Why the Owner Chose Ketchum

This location is in town, on the bike/x-country path and about four minutes to the River Run lift plaza. In summer I often walk over to River Run, hike up the mountain, take the lift back down, go back home for a soak in the hot tub and walk into the center of Ketchum for lunch or dinner. It's just so easy to get everywhere from here.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium (New in 2000)

This place is quiet, south-facing and private with great views of Baldy, yet it's close to everything. We've got a great community hot tub which the whole family can use (seats up to 12) and our fitness center is spacious & well equipped. Plus we've got great covered parking and an elevator up to our floor if you should care to use it...and let's not forget the new River Run gondola!

Owner's Map of Ketchum

I was born in upstate New York and moved to Seattle for the mountains and sea. When I discovered Sun Valley & Ketchum it didn't take me long to realize how special a place it is....mountains, sunshine, a million & one things to do year round and a great community.

    • We had a great time staying at this beautiful and comfortable condo in Ketchum for 10 days this summer. It is very well located walking distance to everything in Ketchum from hiking to dining and movies. It is a great way to experience Sun Valley.

    • Sunny and sun-lit home/condo, stellar location mere blocks from the slopes and downtown Ketchum, thoughtfully stocked "Top Chef" kitchen, and even a Monopoly! board for the kid in all of us ... and so much more. We stayed from Feb 14-20 this year and sincerely hope to return again. This truly felt like a home-away-from-home. It is rare to find such a gem that lives up to all its promises. Three very pleased thumbs up.

    • We stayed in this condo in August 2008 and found it perfect. The location was wonderful...views of Baldy, steps from the bikepath and a few hundred yards from Baldy's base and close to town. We walked or rode bikes to dinner every night. The condo had every accommodation. We loved the hottub, using it daily after hiking or biking. We would highly recommend this condo and hope to visit it again soon.

    • Our family stayed here the week of January 6, 2008. We had a great time here and can recommend this unit. The amenities are as stated and shown on the site. The location is ideal -- very close to town activities / restaurants and really close to the River Run lodge. We had a car but you really do not need one here for skiing or dining. The unit is nice and bright during the day & has really fast internet access. The owner's CD collection is eclectic and very interesting. We cooked several meals here & we really appreciated the completeness of the kitchen tools and equipment provided.

    • Three friends and I stayed at this condo in October and we want to tell everyone just how much we enjoyed it. The condo is beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. We loved the colors, especially the warm and cheerful sunshine yellow of the main rooms. The location is ideal: close enough to town to walk yet quiet and private. Our group goes to Sun Valley every fall for a get-together, and we voted unanimously that this is the best place we've stayed. We hope to go back again and again. The owners will be hearing from us! Best wishes, Lila, Susan, Kim, and Marlene -Lila, Boise, Idaho

    • We stayed in this home for the month of June 2007. A perfect spot, the condo was not only well equipped, but also had a great location. I got into the car only three times in a month. The bike trail is within 50 yards, town is ten minutes on foot, and the river is right there, with a beach. Bruce(The Owner) made the whole experience better, with easy instructions, and personal guide books. If you are going to the Jazz Jamboree, this would be ideal,as River Run is a five minute walk for the shuttle and events. Great condo, beautiful town.

    • Just returned from a wonderful week in Ketchum. This was our second time staying at the condo and it was even better than the first time. The upgraded granite countertops added elegance and the flat screen TVs were a nice addition. We were even able to hook up iPods and listen to our own music in the living area, although there was a great selection of CDs and DVDs there to choose from. The master bedroom and bath provided ample space and we loved having our own entrance to the deck. It was a hot week there so the AC cooled the place down nicely in the late afternoon. The views of the mountain were gorgeous and just sitting on the deck watching the aspen leaves shimmer or the paragliders floating back to earth was very relaxing. Location is also perfect for anything you would like to do in Kecthum or on the bike trail. Thank-you again for sharing your wonderfully appointed condo. I'm sure we'll be back for visit number 3!
