Two king suites in a great location

This condo was great. Close to the mountain, close to town, the best stocked pantry I’ve ever seen, plus a lovely gift of two bottles of wine!! The shuttle stopped right outside, and we could easily walk into town. All of the condiments were new, smart tvs, heated bathroom floors. Loved it!

Mothers Day Vaca

The condo was nicely stocked and decorated. The rooms were clean and neat. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were very nice! The view was disappointing, as all we could see from our room were the hallways and elevator landing area. The driveway into the parking garage is located on a corner and was a bit tricky from time to time with the traffic that was being re-routed from the Main Street area.

Hi Julia, It's good to hear you were pleased with the quality and comfort of the condo. Thank you for your kind words. We pay special attention to all the details we have control of in an effort to give our guests a five star experience. That's why we have scored 4.97 over a six year period achieving the Super Host honor six years in a row. We are very proud of that achievement. Some things are outside of our control such as the temporary re-routing of traffic you mention. I hope you understand that we are very careful with the representation of our place via words and photos.

Loved our stay

This was a perfect spot for my young family to spend a weekend in Ketchum/Sun Valley! The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. We loved having underground parking access and being so close to the bike trails that took us everywhere we wanted to go. Others have mentioned the well-stocked kitchen -- it made such a difference to us to have basic ingredients in the cupboards. It felt like we were staying at a friend's house, not at a sterile hotel or even a corporate vacation rental. Felt homey and warm. We hope to come back!

Absolutely perfect! Best of the best!

I have stayed in multiple condos throughout the area, and this one was by far the most well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The design is beautiful, the beds are incredibly comfortable, heated bath floors and the kitchen is perfect for entertaining. It's conveniently located within walking distance to skiing, trails, and downtown, with a year-round pool and hot tub just around the corner from the front door. The underground parking is a huge plus, especially on snowy days. I loved sitting by the fire, kicking back with a glass of whiskey, and relaxing. Thank you, Laurin, for a wonderful stay!"

The condo allows easy access to both downtown Ketchum and the River Run gondola on Baldy Mountain. We chose to drive the five minutes to the mountain each day since parking is free.

Sun Valley Wedding Trip

The condo is ideally located for summer and winter activities. It is also very nicely updated and equipped. The one negative, which was kind of a big one for us is that the windows all face other stucco walls/doors/walk way so there is little natural light. There is also really nothing to look at out any of the windows but the other walls/doors. The other thing we found was there was 2 TWIN beds, not 2 DOUBLE beds as stated. That probably needs to be fixed in the description. Other than that it is a ;lovely condo in a prime location.

About the host

Hosted by Laurin McElheran

Host profile image
Our family loves being outdoors! We alpine and backcountry ski, wake-surf, scuba dive, golf, bike, hike and poorly play pickleball. And we really like the sun and Sun Valley. Our damp Seattle winters leave us craving the deep blue skies of Sun Valley and we come to get our fix. After years of vacationing we became owners of this wonderful downtown condo where we can easily walk to the shops or slide down to the River Run gondola to ski or hike. No car needed! My wife Nancy grew up in the Tacoma getting her music degree before attending the University of Washington to becoming a pharmacist. I grew up in the Northwoods of Minnesota before attending UW in Seattle where I met Nancy. I'm now a retired health care provider. We have two adult sons and a grandson. My name is Laurin. I am your host and our son Kyle will be your co-hosts. Should you have and concerns or questions contact either one of us. We hope you enjoy SV as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We vacationed in Sun Valley for years before deciding we wanted to own a slice of blue skies and amazing terrain. We like the small-town vibe of this iconic resort destination. We appreciate the rich local history and the genuinely friendly neighborhood. And, truth is, we didn't want to use a car to enjoy the area. We wanted to be close, walk if we wanted, to historical downtown shops, bars, restaurants, and the ski lifts. I guess we were just tired of car commuting in the city. We enjoy the clean mountain air and skies.

What makes this property unique

Our "Christophe" has the only outdoor, year-round heated pool in Ketchum. The kids love the pool and we love relaxing in the hot tub with a cocktail and a great view of Sun Valley's mountains and ski slopes. It's just an eight minute walk to River Run Lodge lifts and just a ten minute walk to the town's restaurants, shops, and bars. When you want to dine-in there is a brand new IKEA kitchen stocked with all you need! That includes a bottle of good wine and whiskey on us. Enjoy!
