Awesome Ketchum house

This is a great, very comfortable house in a really amazing location right on the river. Tons of amenities, easy walk or bike to downtown. This was our first trip to the area, and we were not disappointed!

Idaho Family Getaway

We were looking for a fun vacation spot away from the crowds of the national parks, and boy did we find a good one! Sun Valley was amazing with hikes, rafting, shopping, and great food. We even tried our hand at fly fishing. We traveled up to Stanley, ID, for some white water rafting and a day trip at Redfish lake. The house was perfect, right on the river for easy kid entertainment with swimming, tubing, and fly fishing. And perfect for adults with a wonderful deck for an evening cocktail or just relax and read during the day. We highly recommend Sun Valley and this home.

Comments

Great location, cabin had super character and was very cozy. Bathrooms are dated. Lots of clutter with glass and flatware. Many bathrooms and bedrooms has not heat. Back deck was a mess. Price was high considering the condition. Needs a new ski boot warmer. We had a great time and Boots attending to all our requests.
