We loved our 4-night stay at this lovely condo in Ketchum. The location couldn't have been better. It was immaculate and well stocked (linens, kitchen, etc.). It's obviously well cared for with no deferred maintenance issues. We walked to breakfast and dinner every day. We skied Dollar Mountain and went x-country skiing in Galena. Walked to the Magic Lantern movie theatre (enjoyed the beer and wine they sold at concessions). The underground parking and hot tub were a plus. We would recommend this condo and we'll be back! Thank you.

Immaculate, Comfortable, Convenient and Warm Unit

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the unit. The owner had clearly thought of every detail to make an occupant feel welcome and to make the stay easy including extra towels, toiletries, spices, every imaginable kitchen utensil, nice appliances, dvd's, cd's, etc. and his pride in ownership of the unit was apparent in the immaculate condition of the unit. The unit was extremely well located, with covered parking, a fire place, flat screen tvs, etc., and the owner was a considerable resource in terms of information for the town amenities, restaurants, etc. I would absolutely recommend staying at his unit!

Thanks, Bruce. We had a wonderful 5 nights in your beautiful condo. This was perfect for two couples. We walked to the mountain base and the Ketchum restaurants. It was a bonus to have a washer/dryer in the condo. The kitchen was perfectly appointed, and met all our needs. We'll be back for sure! Mary

Amazing Condo in Ketchum - Awesome location!

What a fantastic time we had at this amazing condo in Ketchum. I researched dozens of Ketchum rentals and this condo by far has the best location and the best price and it is beautiful. It is a top floor unit in a beautiful complex and the location is awesome - close to downtown and close to the ski area. We walked every night to downtown restaurants (only 5 blocks away). There is a maintained cross country ski trail that goes on for miles right outside your door! The condo is very upscale, clean and inviting and has all the amenities. This unit also provides a great underground parking spot right next to the elevator or stairs. My favorite area of the condo was the living room. It is super cozy with a gas fireplace, a comfy couch and a large TV. The owner, Bruce, was awesome to work with! He even left a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. He knows the area well and can point you to some great restaurants and night life. Now the best part of Ketchum is the Sun Valley Ski Resort. All I can say is WOW! Being a Cali skier, I have never experienced such luxury in a ski lodge! And the views on top of Bald Mountain are breathtaking - the Sawtooth Mountains are amazing! Oh and the skiing was terrific! I cannot say enough about this condo, Bruce, or the Sun Valley area. We cannot wait to go back!

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!

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!

Our family of five had a delightful time in this lovely condo. We've been all over the US & Canada to ski and have never enjoyed a ski trip as much as our 2007 Sun Valley vacation. I'm sure the great accommodations (along with great snow) had a lot to do with it.

Snow Star # 24 is really like a 2nd home that I didn't know I had! It has everything to make you feel totally at home. The kitchen is extremely well equipped; the living area with the ease of an on/off switch for the gas fireplace added a wonderful touch on those chilly July mornings. The deck was completely private with superb views of Baldy, and of the famous Round House mid-mountain restaurant. The MBR was large and comfortable with a well designed MBA ensuite. Our every need was anticipated and provided for, gas grill and deck chairs to hi speed internet. The "Orientation Manual" made it a simple process to navigate the entire Ketchum/Sun Valley Region. And LOCATION ! Everything is just a few steps to a few minutes away. What a pleasant surprise! We can't decide which we love more: Ketchum/Sun Valley, or SnowStar # 24. We are definitly returning next summer.

Coming into Ketchum for a week of primarily hiking, we didn't know what to expect. We parked indoors in the condo's assigned spot close to the elevator and easily got our load of stuff up to our 3 bedroom, 2 bath accomodation. And what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! The condo was exceptionally clean with a modern, fully equipped kitchen, and a view of the mountains off a deck outside that even had an easy-to-read thermometer. A comfortable sitting area with a large TV contained 2 notebooks with important information about the area including restaurant suggestions. The whole place was attractively furnished, making it easy for us to feel right at home. And we were able to sleep quite well on a nice firm mattress! The condo is a short walk to town, and we had our choice of a zillion hiking trails in the area. This was a first class experience, and whether one is a hiker, skier, or sightseer, he will find this a well maintained, truly exceptional place to stay!

C'est la première fois que nous passons des vacances aussi hors du commun. L'appartement de Ketchum nous a offert tout le confort et est très bien situé. Les paysages et les infrastructures de Sun Valley nous ont permis de pratiquer tous les sports notamment du vélo, des randonnées, du canoë, de l'équitation, du fitness et de la natation. Nous avons passé des vacances formidables.

Owner response:ENGLISH TRANSLATION: This is the first time that we spent our vacation in Sun Valley. The condo provided us with every comfort and is very well located. Sun Valley's geography and service infrastructure allowed us to partake of all sorts of outdoor sports--notably bicycling, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, other fitness activities and swimming. We had a wonderful vacation here.

This was a FABULOUS rental! We really felt as if we were at home. Exceptionally clean, well appointed (loved the artwork!) and very comfy beds! The location can't be beat with easy access to Bald Mountain, Ketchum's best restaurants and Sun Valley. We would definitely rent this again... You will not be disapponted with this condo!

We have stayed in condos via vrbo throughout Europe and the US and this condo was by far the best. It is well appointed (clean, spacious, nice towels and cookware) and the minute you walk in you feel at home. Close to town, River Run, hiking and biking, it is the perfect location. And, after a long day of activities, the hot tub is a perfect way to end the day. Our stay was during a very hot July and it was so nice to come back to the condo with air conditioning-as many condos in Ketchum do not have air conditioning. We cannot wait to go back.

My family and I just returned from a week at this wonderful condo and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The main things we liked about this particular property were: 1. Great sunny view of the mountain from the kitchen, living room, master bedroom and deck. 2. Access to the downtown Ketchum and the trail system. It's only a few minute walk to River Run lift or downtown restaurants and grocery stores. 3. The condo is well apppointed. From the original artwork, to the stocked kitchen (Calphalon pans, espresso machine), to the DVD and hot tub...all made for a wonderful place to call home for a week in the moutains! We'll be back!

We stayed in the condo for a week and it was beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The view is spectacular and the location is convenient to the town and the ski slopes. Ketchum is a charming town and everything you could want is close by. The food in the restaurants was amazing. The slopes are very exciting. They have everything from beginner slopes to very challeging trails. This is the perfect condo for the perfect ski vacation. In fact, we're going back this December!

My husband and I and friends have stayed at the condo several times and had a wonderful time each time. We all enjoy cooking and found the kitchen really well equipped. The beds are great - very comfy. The appointments like dishes, art work and bed coverings are very tasteful and make the visitor feel like they are really at home. I used the gym facility as well as the trail at the end of the street. Everything is so handy - movies, stores, the bike/running path. I never needed the car during our entire stay as everything was so convenient to the condo. The owners have made their condo so homey, attractive and well appointed that all we have to do is stop at the grocery store, park the vehicle and settle in. We're set for a week long stay and would stay longer if we had the time! Enjoy!
