About this property

Zinc Spur, Spacious Private Retreat, Great for family events, Pet Friendly!

We are pet friendly, (2 dog maximum) $100. for the first dog, $50. additional for each dog thereafter. Fees will be added after booking.

We are located on over 2.5 forested acres in the desirable mid-valley. Just a 5-minute drive to Hailey and 10 minutes to Ketchum and the River Run Lodge and Gondola.

The home is a very large (approximately 4,000 square feet) 5 bedroom/4 bath home that sleeps up to16. This home was designed for entertaining many guests. It is comfortably stocked and with so much space, it is perfect place for family and friends to get together.

The property is uniquely designed so that the five bedrooms & a loft fold bed are discretely tucked away from each other, providing plenty of privacy for everyone. There are beds for 12 and folding twin mattresses to accommodate an extra 4.

What you will love about this property are the glorious vaulted ceilings with floor to ceiling windows, cozy gas fireplaces & the location and views out onto the seasonal creek. With multiple patios, there is plenty of outside space for entertaining, relaxing in the hot tub, or just playing outside in the glorious Idaho outdoors. All the rooms are spread out so everyone has there own privacy. Have a musician in your group? They will love the 7-foot concert grand piano!

The open living room – dining – kitchen complex (about 1,500 square feet of contiguous space) is the heart of your vacation and entertaining experience. Beautiful dining room table that seats up to 12 and additional kitchen bar seating. Multiple doors provide easy access to brick patios, the barbeque and hot tub, all in a natural wooded setting. In addition, the living room features a 7-foot concert grand piano, foosball table, TV and plenty of seating. This downstairs living space is augmented by a 300 square foot loft overlooking the living room, which provides a quiet place to retreat and talk.

The kitchen is upgraded and well stocked with pot, pans, utensils and dishware for 24. It is open to the dining room where the table seats 12 with additional seating for 6 at the bar. The open floor plan lets the those who are cooking stay connected to the action.

The enormous master suite is located on the second floor, away from other guest rooms. A king bed is warmed by its own fireplace and looks out onto a private balcony nestled in the aspens. The luxurious ensuite master bath features a marble-clad steam shower, jacuzzi tub and architecturally unique flat granite sink. Each of the remaining bedrooms are discretely located and private from the main living spaces, providing the opportunity to relax, read a book or just soak in the location.

For the more introverted guests, one bedroom is completely private, located across the patios with its own private entrance and ensuite bath. Each room has a queen bed and easy access to a bath.

For those of you traveling with kids, we are stocked with baby gates, toys, puzzles, games, pack’n’play, and kids' plastic silverware.

Included is a heated 2+ car garage. While a necessity for keeping your cars out of the snow during the winter, guests have also creatively used the space for indoor games (there is a ping pong table that can be opened), hosting a party (the garage is fully plumbed and has an awesome counter and refrigerator) and storing bikes, skis and all the other things you want to use.

NEED EXTRA SPACE?

If your group is larger than 12, or you want beds for 16, there is an additional 2-bedroom, 2-bath home on the property that you must book if your group is larger than 12. Please see our listing for the entire estate at
VRBO.com/ 3676578.

Please contact host, Cheri - 208-703-4403 for details and questions.

OUTSIDE GROUNDS

Outside is a wonderland of what the Wood River Valley offers. We are on 2+ acres of forested land located on a seasonal creek which usually runs April through October (it has sweet little trout - please get a permit before fishing). There are several lawn areas appropriate for badminton, volleyball, basketball, a happy game of "toss" or just running around. There is also a large patio off the Main House.

Our landscaping was designed by a local landscape architect, and the creek-facing side of the property features expansive patios with unique quartzite bench features, hot tub, BBQ grill, firepit, and a beautiful secluded view of mature aspens. You may be lucky enough to see some wildlife.

EVENTS or PARTIES

We will consider events for up to 30 guest's upon approval. Additional fees apply. Not available for events if guest house is booked by someone else.
Event guests cannot park on property. Must arrange shuttle service.

Please contact host, Cheri - 208-703-4403 for details and approval.

Wedding weekend stay.

Our communication with Cheri, the property manager, was fantastic! The home is as it appears online but the condition of the furnishings was disappointing. It could definitely use some upgrades in bedding and furniture. There were some cleaning issues upon check in but overall it suited our needs for the weekend.

Amazing and perfect for our family vacation

Booking from pictures and reviews is always hard because you’re not really knowing what you’re getting. This by far was more than we expected the minute we drove in the driveway. The grounds were beautiful and so secluded which we loved! Our group consisted of 10 adults and 6 children under 12. The house was spacious and clean, kitchen was so well stocked for cooking for that many people. Host was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We hope to go again and book this house!

Elopement in Hailey

From the start our host Cheri was very communicative and hospitable. We loved the place. So quiet and housed 11 people, an infant, and our fur baby just fine. Loved the fireplace, kidzone, and the ping pong table! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quaint spacious area for special occasions or just a nice retreat from the noise.

Perfect Location/Ski Trip

Perfect for family of all ages.

Our entire family came to Hailey/Ketchum for our son’s wedding. Our group was large - so we rented the main house as well as the guest house. The lawn area beautifully accommodated our evening rehearsal dinner. The patio areas at the main house were wonderful. The home itself accommodated our large family so well. In the evenings guests would join us & it never felt cramped or too small. The wonderful dining table was large & perfect. Our grandchildren loved the island with bar chairs to play on their iPads. Such a comfortable welcoming home in a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back. Thomas was a perfect host. Addressed all of our needs & questions.

Family vacation

Great mid-valley accommodation for our family gathering. Slept 12 adults comfortably. Great open floor plan that was fun for visiting and yet enough space to get away. Kitchen had what we needed for preparing meals. BBQ came in handy for grilling. Many enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the creek. Pretty setting in the trees with the creek. 5 minutes to Hailey and 10 minutes to Ketchum. Large garage for storing bikes and other toys and more than adequate laundry facilities. Definitely recommend for a larger group.

Great Hailey Get away spot

We had a great stay and found the Zinc Spur estate comfortable and well-appointed for our family event. The spacious kitchen and hot tub are the stars of the property as well as the scenic stream just behind the property. The pictures somewhat overstate the property's condition as it is a little worn and dingy after hard winter use. Please note that "sleeps 16-17" involves couches, floor mats, and pouty Gen Z'ers.

Great property for a large group

This property is very spacious, our group was 10 people and plenty of room for all. If your group is larger, and the guest house for additional people. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prep and cook meals. Propane tank for the BBQ was full and house supplies were plentiful. It is a nice property, well run.

Spacious Home with Great Amenities

I recently stayed at this property and had a wonderful experience. The house was exactly as described, offering plenty of space for my family. The kitchen, dining, and living room area was particularly impressive, as it allowed us to spend quality time together in one place. The property had some great extras that enhanced our stay. The presence of a grand piano, foosball table, hot tub, and outdoor basketball hoop provided ample entertainment options for everyone. We also appreciated the well-stocked game closet, which offered a variety of choices for indoor fun. Another standout feature was the inclusion of three separate new washers. This attention to detail ensured that we had no issues with laundry and made our stay even more convenient. Overall, this property served as the perfect getaway for my family. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious and well-equipped vacation rental. I hope this review helps you accurately describe your experience with the Vrbo property! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with. Oh, our Host Thomas was very quick to respond.

Hailey Stay

The location of the property was ideal for us. Grocery store and restaurants in Hailey were just down the road. Great skinning and backcountry skiing right across the road. Big kitchen and loved having a heated garage with multiple washers and dryers for all our gear. I stayed for a month and utilized the garage to work on the snowmobiles and repair skis. The house is old and it was literally one issue after the next. One day one, water was steadily dripping in 3 of the bedrooms from a roof leak. While they did come shovel and address it after a phone call, it clearly was an ongoing issue based on the stains. The room smelled damp. While shoveling off the roof, they plugged the vent for the gas fireplace. Not a huge deal except they also sent pieces down the furnace exhaust, rendering that’s out of commission, for 2 weeks. We relied on temporary electric heaters, but the home still dropped to 60 degrees every morning. The other major issue was, while advertised as sleeping 16, only one person could shower at a time or not enough hot water, which is a bit of an issue after a day of skiing. A couple other things that could and should be repaired before renting again. One bedroom has a window that doesn’t open, one has one that doesn’t shut tight. If your sleeping in the loft, you have a direct view of the master bed through a double sided fireplace, very uncomfortable. The advertisement claims luxurious sheets and fine leather furnishings, they could not be found.

Guys ski trip

We had a group of 11 friends stay at the property for 3 nights and it was perfect- an easy drive from Sun Valley ski resort, a quiet private property where it felt very isolated, an excellent common area for hanging out as a group, and plenty of natural light throughout the house. Bring your eye masks if you want to sleep in, but overall we really enjoyed and would certainly entertain booking again.

Great for Family/Dog Gathering

Great space for family + pets gathering. Very convenient to town & Sun Valley. I would consider again just would like to see more focus & customer care in fixing items that are broken ie many of the window opening devices were stripped & would not open by themselves - as a chef especially troublesome in kitchen for ventilation since there’s no fan. Loved the light in the space, feeling of utmost privacy & tree setting. Overall a very good experience especially for the price.

Review of Zinc Spur Estate

The exterior of Zinc Spur Estate is wonderful, along with the large 2 car garage. The interior is very large & super cozy with 2 fireplaces, an amazing kitchen with cabinets & drawers labeled as to its contents which is very convenient. There are appliances galore, along with lots of silverware & utensils. The linens, comforters, pillows, heaters, bathroom towels, and a large walk in closet with games, puzzles, swim towels, children's toys is fabulous. The large hot tub outside, which was the perfect temperature, is fantastic. As rated above, the entire house is very, very clean. With that said, the VRBO listing is a bit confusing. There are 2 homes and 1 studio apt. on this property We thought we had rented the large house only. If I'd read the listing more carefully, I would have noticed that the house and studio apt. are combined as one rental. So we did not use the apt. as I didn't read carefully enough. User error for sure. The only things that didn't work were the TV and some electrical outlets in the kitchen. Overall a beautiful and enjoyable VRBO. Thank You!
