Fantastic Place to stay in Ketchum

This home is in a great location (easy walking distance to town and easy short drive to skiing), it's extremely well maintained, and the owner is very responsive. The kitchen is well appointed and the bed rooms are all comfortable and clean. It's also very warm and cozy for a winter stay. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

Perfect spot for a family gathering!

We had a great spring week here, with three generations gathered for a graduation. The house and apartment were perfect. Kitchen was well equipped, and we enjoyed the hot tub and made extensive use of the BBQ. The location was great - everything in Ketchum is easily walkable from here, and it’s easy to pick up the bike path. Amazing stay - highly recommend!

French cottage

The property has a beautiful setting with a lovely comfortable interior. It was a bit smaller than anticipated. It sleeps 8 easily, but the other 3 beds are only good for very young children. There's a very nice walk right to the river which we really enjoyed.

Family Summer Vacation

Outstanding family home in a great location of west Ketchum. Beautiful yard and outdoor dining space. We stayed for over 2 weeks and the house had every supply/amenity that we required for an excellent vacation. We had a heat wave while at the house and it stayed quite cool and comfortable. Quick access into town either walking or on a bike. We hope to return!!

February family fun

The property was lovely - decor French countryside in Ketchum, and great location-close to downtown. Easy and quick drive to River Run. Rooms cozy and beds comfortable. One thing about the futons in the cubbies - the futons are on the floor- not on a frame so not really a comfortable place to sleep unless you are a child. Kitchen was great well stocked. Enjoyed our stay very much and the property manager, Richard was fabulous. Thank you for a great stay.

The best VRBO I’ve ever rented

The home in Ketchum had it all; incredibly well outfitted with the highest quality towels and linens on a par with a five star hotel. The home itself made you feel like you were in a Chateau in the French countryside. Walking distance to town and outdoor skating in a quaint neighborhood less than a mile to the lifts as well as the Sun Valley Lodge. Plenty of room to spread out, relax and enjoy meals and time together for our family of ten. I would definitely stay here again.

sun valley french cottage

Wonderful house plus garage apartment which was well suited for our family get together and offered a place for parents of 1 year old twins a quiet place for naps, etc. Owner was very responsive to communications and check in was easy with complete guest instructions. Very nicely furnished house and beautiful yard in a quiet neighborhood of Ketchum. It is a very short walk to public tennis/pickleball courts and downtown Ketchum is easily walkable.
