Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Suzanne

Our family has been in the Wood River Valley for fifty years, enjoying all it has to offer. We feel so lucky to call the Ketchum/Sun Valley home, and love helping others experience the magic of this mountain paradise. Our family loves to travel, and we have high expectations of what accommodations should be when enjoying hard-earned vacation days. We have thoughtfully designed our guesthouse to be a true sanctuary.
Why they chose this property
Gimlet is a highly sought-after community of homes that have expansive and beautiful acreage. The neighborhood is home to a large elk herd that can often be seen wandering through both fields and yards. With direct access to the Valley's bike bath and Highway 75, Gimlet has easy access to everything Ketchum and Sun Valley have to offer while also providing luxurious privacy.
What makes this property unique
We are situated on five acres of riverfront property with private access to some of the Valley's best fly fishing. The property has incredible views in all directions, and the local elk herd can often be found in the field outside the bedroom windows. In addition, you are only 1/4 mile from the local bike path and 5-7 min. from the town of Ketchum and the base of Baldy. What more could you ask for?
