Beautiful, clean home with everything you needed. Love coffee on the deck in the mornings and a big table for us all to sit around. The beds were really comfortable as well. Our host was great, he made us feel welcome and was quick to answer any questions.

We loved hosting Shellene and her group at Red Elephant Resort!
Such a pleasure having Ryan and his crew stay at Red Elephant Resort while they were working on a job in the area. Great bunch of guys and we would be happy to host them again anytime!
This place exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we checked in - effortless- until we left six weeks later, we enjoyed our stay. The house was spotless, and well equipped. The location is fantastic - very quiet neighborhood with lots of big trees, yet minutes from groceries and coffee shops and restaurants. To say the house is well equipped is an understatement. Setting up the smart tvs was a breeze. The host made himself available if we needed, never did. We were here for six weeks and enjoyed the location and comfort provided. Hope to come back again next year.Tucson Visitors

It was such a pleasure hosting Lori and her husband for their "beat the heat" Summer vacation. They are fellow cyclists and took full advantage of the fantastic rides that are right out the front door.
As one of our first VRBO guests, we corresponded a fair bit after booking and it was so nice to get to know her, especially as a possible repeat guest. Many of our repeat guests at our property on Maui have become good friends and that's one of the things we love so much about being a host.
We try to take care of all the details so our guests can relax, enjoy the house, and their stay. It's so rewarding to get a review like this where we see we have succeeded in these efforts.
Wonderful guests and hoping to have them back soon!
We had a great ski vacation staying at Red Elephant Resort. Everything exceeded our expectations. The house was practically brand new. We loved the modern style and cozy furnishings. The house was open and bright and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect as the ski resort was an easy 15-minute drive and the shops and restaurants of downtown Hailey were less than a mile away. The master suite was incredible with great views from the bed and a nice, attached deck (it was too cold to use but inviting). Although we were only 2 people, the other 2 bedrooms had private baths and were well appointed. We’ll definitely be back! Mark was great to work with and responded quickly when we had questions. We felt that the house was an extremely good value especially compared to Ketchum.

It was so nice to host Will and Bonnie at Red Elephant Resort for their ski vacation.
They were perfect guests in every way and I'd love to have them back anytime.
Great Stay! Great location! Easy to walk to park, river, pickleball. Loved that each room has its own air so everyone was comfortable! Will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Mark
I love skiing and mountain biking and only recently discovered Hailey... What a find! And there's so, so much more to explore.
Why they chose this property
I love this area of Hailey, called "Della View". Less than a five minute walk to Heagle Park, complete with tennis and pickle ball courts and right on the Big Wood River. Its also walking distance or a very short drive to downtown Hailey, with all it's shops and restaurants.
What makes this property unique
Built in 2020, this large house is built with luxury in mind.
It has three large bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, and also a powder room off the living room. It's three levels with the master suite sprawling over the entire third level, complete with it's own wet bar and huge, south facing sun deck.
This house is newly built and something special for guests that discover it.
