About Susan minford
Susan, along with her husband Brad turned their family home into a luxury vacation rental after the kids left the nest. When they are in Sun Valley, they stay in a condominium in town, leaving the Sun Valley Villa strictly as a vacation retreat.
Susan minford purchased this house in 1998
Why Susan minford chose Ketchum
When we're in Sun Valley in the winter, we ski on Baldy, or cross country ski on the Sun Valley lodge golf course - stopping for lunch at the Trail Creek cabin. Or, snowshoe, cross country ski on the hundreds of groomed trails just north of town. We snowmobile at Smiley Creek - just over the Galena summit. And, of course, dine out! Favorites for lunch: Apples at the base of Warm Springs during ski season, The Wine Shop, Perry's, or Cristina's for brunch, and of course the Pioneer Saloon for steak, Il Naso for Italian, Globus for Asian fusion, La Cabanita for authentic Mexican. The Ketchum Grill, The Sawtooth and Village Square Tavern all serve continental/American fare. My most favorite is Enoteca on the corner of Main and Sun Valley Road. They have wood fired pizza, extensive wines, gourmet dinners, friendly waiters and they honor reservations - although hard to get.
In summer, hiking or biking rule! There's a 17 mile gravel bike path between Galena Summit and Ketchum. After that a paved 18 mile path from Ketchum to Bellevue. Or, the paved 10 mile loop through Sun Valley village and Elkhorn. One can also hike up Baldy, have a bite to eat on top and take the chair lift down (free to those who make it to the top on foot). Outside of town, the Sawtooth mountains offer thousands of day hiking trails. Red Fish Lake is a great place to hang for the day, with a beach and paddle boats for hire.
What makes this house unique
Since we've traveled around the world with children, we've always rented houses, rather than stay in hotels, thus we've learned what's good and what's not. Our kitchen is always stocked with staples, so no need to buy that one spice that a recipe calls for; or a pound of sugar for just one cup for baking. Hairdryers are provided in all 5 bathrooms, 14 robes are available for all the guests for the hot tub/sauna use. 600 thread count sheets and fluffy towels are the norm. The beds have top of the line mattresses and there's 2 pillows for every guest (28 in all!) of top quality. There's dinner service for 24, nothing has been short changed at the Sun Valley villa, leaving you to enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Fantastic Stay, Perfect for Large Group Ski Trip
The house was perfect for our 14 person ski trip. The large hot tub was amazing and fit all 14 of us with ease and the sauna was the icing on the cake. All of the rooms were very comfortable and very accommodating for our large group and I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to visit Sun Valley!
Great place for a big crowd
Our whole family with kids and grandkids stayed here for the second year in a row. Everyone loves the hot tub, the pool table, and large kitchen and family room. Lots of games were played, dips in the hot tub, and memories made. Even though skiing conditions were a disappointment, we had a great family time together. We will hopefully be back next year!!
Our Jazzfest Weekend Family Reunion.
House worked great, wonderful kitchen and well equipped to host our breakfasts and dinners, seating and dinnerware worked out really well. We had 15 in the house, no problem and another 6 join us for meals. Family rooms were spacious, enough room in the house to spread out and relax. Hot tub was wonderful, sauna and steam shower were great as well. Just a quick walk to Warm Springs. Brought our two dogs and the fenced yard was great for them. Brad was super responsive to a couple requests, we had a great stay! Highly recommend for a big group. Thank you.
Beautiful home, a lot of space
I rented this home for a group of 16 performers, and we all loved it! There is so much room, the hot tub was spacious, and the home had all of the necessary amenities and more. Highly recommended!
Perfect for our family reunion!
Just wanted to give a shout out about how much we loved the house. The little kids loved the hot tub which is like a small swimming pool to them and the big kids loved the pool table so it was a win/win for all of us! Having enough seating for all of us to enjoy meals together was priceless! The eclectic style made it feel very homey and I wasn't so worried about the kids scratching or denting anything. And all the different showers got rave reviews from the adults (body jets, steam shower)! Great house for any big group gathering!
Great place in Sun Valley!
We loved Susan's house in Sun Valley! It was just as advertized, a 5 min drive/uber into the center of town. Sleeps 5 adult couples very comfortably + has a room with 4 bunk beds. We loved the hot tub and outdoor area, and house was well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies, etc.
