The house was as described. Location ended up being great because everything is so close. Getting to/from airport was super easy and the trip into town/River Run Lodge was really quick as well.
great house for large groups. huge common area. master is very large and the other bedrooms more typically sized with queens. great location close to Hailey and Ketchum
This stay was dreamy and perfect. The house is very close to town to make travel convenient, it was very clean, and had all the amenities you could ask for. This house provided so much space for our large group, we will be back!
The stay the property itself is beautiful and you had everything as was listed. The owner was very easy to communicate with and helpful with questions and concerns! Would definitely stay here again
We loved staying here and enjoyed the beauty of the area and also the entertainment at the house (games, hot tub, piano, guitar, pool table etc). The sheets and blankets had some stains but otherwise everything was clean and comfortable.

Thank you, we are getting ready to do a linen inventory and purchase new linens.
Our family had a fantastic time staying at this location. Just off the highway but felt like a mile away. Very secluded. Plenty of room for the family.

Thank you so much for staying with us! It was a pleasure having you!
The home was beautiful and everybody had their own space! The home was well stocked and had all necessary items needed (i.e., bathroom, kitchen, etc.). It was the perfect location for a ski trip to Sun Valley Resort! Looking forward to planning another ski trip here again soon!
This could be a fantastic property! The home itself is lovely, but it needs some TLC (could be easily implemented). It is spacious and has a well-stocked kitchen.
Extended family celebrated 50th anniversary. Great location to see so many activities and sights. Kids had fun with foseball table and exploring outside. Hot tub and piano were a bonus.
