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!

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!"

Pristine property with a great location.

We came to Sun Valley with our daughter and her husband for a family wedding. The central location was perfect for the 3 nights of events. The unit was exactly as described and very well equipped. Very clean and welcoming. The pool and hot tub a real bonus. Thanks Nancy and Laurin for making our 5 night stay in Ketchum the best!!!

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!

Perfect Family Condo

I stayed here with my husband and two kids (11 and 8) and the accommodations were perfect for us. I appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the in-unit laundry as well as having separate adult/kid space with the two bedrooms. The condo is nicely updated and comfortable all around. Convenient location near River Run; we rented bikes and rode a few blocks to get onto the Wood River Trail from the condo. The kids also enjoyed the pool and all the games that were available. The only cons for me were that we visited in the summer and without AC the condo was about 80 degrees inside. There are fans available (thank you!) and doors in each of the bedrooms which we opened up to circulate air. Overall, we loved this property and would stay again.

We stayed here as a group for the Sawtooth relay and couldn't have been happier. The condo was roomy, comfortable and clean. The owner responded to any questions within minutes and made everything easy. The condo really is located in walking distance (or a very short drive) of everything. A bonus - pool and hot tub!

Great two bedroom condo

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. The bus would have been a convenient option as well. The condo is spacious, clean and very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome property in beautiful Ketchum.

This was one of the best properties we've been in. If you enjoy cooking, everything you could possibly want was supplied---including a wide variety of oils and herbs and condiments. The space and furniture was comfortable and modern with large updated kitchen, bathrooms and shower. Loved the fireplace too. Sitting area, pool and the most wonderful hot tub were steps away from the property. Nancy was great to work with, always answering any questions promptly. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Laurin McElheran

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!
