                        We had the pleasure of staying in this lovely Cape Cod home. We were here for five days and they were the most enjoyable we have had in a long time. I felt I was staying on Cape Cod. I was totally in awe with your home. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here. Everything was perfect.

                      Year Purchased: 2007

                      About the owner: Welcome to our Sun Valley Hemingway House in Exclusive Gimlet in Sun Valley, Idaho. With all the luxuries of a fine hotel. Gilchrest & Soames soaps, bath salts and lotions and Sun Valley Terry cloth robes for your comfort. Our home is the most peaceful place on earth. Come stay and fish in the river at the end of the drive and sit on our porch rocking listening to the sounds of the birds and the river. Great for the whole family.

                      Why the Owner Chose Ketchum:
                      We built this house in 2007. It is a dream home. It has every luxury you can imagine. Top of the line kitchen for the extreme cook and lots of room for entertaining. French doors open in all directions and everything flows to the back patio,

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      This gorgeous private estate sits on 2.5 acres and is completely private. Nestled in the trees of Gimlet across from the Big Wood River it is a peaceful place to have a glass of wine and rock on the front porch. Only 3 miles from famous Sun Valley's Baldy ski lifts and close to the bike paths. Hiking and fishing at the end of the driveway. It is a bit a paradise on Earth.
