About this property

Stay IN TOWN at a cozy French Alpine Ski Chalet

We look forward to making you feel at home in our completely remodeled 3BR/2BA condo that uses elegant European furnishings, and tasteful Alpine architectural details that set off the beautiful mature trees facing the living room. The soft honey-colored Fir/Larch wood paneling seen throughout the house and the wide-plank bleached pine wood floors give you a cozy mountain chalet feel while letting in the bright sunlight so famous for Sun Valley.

Our upstairs private cozy master suite with ensuite bath/shower offers soft wood paneling, pine floors, and sophisticated Italian black-out drapes. A 55' wall-mounted LG smart HDTV can be viewed from your queen-size Euro pillow top bed. A portable AC unit and a ceiling fan are provided during the summer.

Downstairs is a twin-bed guest room wrapped in red French toile wallpaper and matching blackout curtains. Our second twin bedroom is a charming built-in wood-paneled children's bunk bedroom with black-out curtains. Fans are provided for downstairs bedrooms during the summer months.

The downstairs bathroom has an ample, modern glassed-in shower area with a large hydro-massaging shower head, a custom built-in sink, and an Italian white marble countertop. There is also a discrete but spacious, fully functional laundry closet equipped with a large stack Bosch washer and dryer.

The kitchen is compact but well-equipped. There is a five-burner gas stove, a complete set of gourmet Al Clad pots, a microwave, a dishwasher, full dinner service for 12, and a Nespresso coffee maker.

The living room is a cozy well-appointed room with a fireplace. A backlit built-in bookcase has a 42' wall-mounted swiveling Smart LG and iPhone dock speaker (good for most devices.)

Additional amenities include a 570-square-foot wrap-around deck with Adirondack seating and a dining table for up to six; a heated storage room with a private locker for ski equipment and an outside bike area.

While we pride ourselves on the quality of our interiors, we recognize that our condo building, built way back in the 1970s, needs some cosmetic TLC exterior stucco care and paint. We are working with our HOA annually to upgrade our roof, exterior, and landscaping. Please excuse the look of our outside until it is finished.

Our property has met all regulations for a 2023 Ketchum Short-Term Rental Permit.

Sun Valley ski stay Feb 1st-6th

Had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was incredibly charming and clearly intentional in guest comfort. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect with easy walking distance to cafes, shops, and restaurants in Ketchum and short drive to the mountain. Hope to visit again!

French Chateau in Sun Valley

We stayed a week and the place was wonderful. It was fully renovated and impeccably clean. The location was perfect for us in that we were there for a wedding and were close to the hotel where most of our friends and family stayed and also walking distance to town center and near Bald Mountain. It was a great experience.

Yearly Ski Trips.... Awesome Location & So Comfy

We got married skiing 15+ years ago and have planned ski trips with groups ever since. We had 5 Adults and this was perfect. Great views of River Run, walk to everything in town, great details, amenities and well stocked kitchen. Notes were thorough on how to utilize everything (rarity). It's a cozy condo, can't really fit more than 2 in the kitchen at a time but we loved it. We had some small hiccups but the Owner & Property Manager were very accommodating and got back to us right away. Had to do with snow....18" overbite on day 1...which was the best day of skiing on the whole trip so definitely not complaining. Would definitely VRBO this unit again!! Hope to be back soon :)

Quaint and Quirky

Well decorated but dimly lit. Great location to town, but a bit to far to walk to slopes (with gear). Wrap around balcony, but given specific instructions not to use the balcony in the winter. Nice fireplace, but told not to use ( and when operational it required extra $35 cleaning fee and bring your own fire wood). Beautiful wood floors that were very creaky. Rooms are cute but small (can’t stand up in upstairs shower). Carpet runners warmed the place up, but downstairs bathroom carpet with bleach stains. VRBO directions say East River and owner directions say West. Info says sleeps 6, but instructions from owner said the top bunk was “broken.” That said, I would stay again, but first, I would look for other options.

Don’t judge this book by its cover

Condominium is part of a small 2 building group that needs maintenance outside. However, once inside, the owner has done a wonderful job decorating and making it comfortable and well-equipped.

Lovely cozy condo

This well located condo is very well supplied and clean. It is probably best for a couple or small family because it is small and only has one comfortable shower. The second shower has a very low ceiling and not comfortable for adults (we are a tall family). Despite the tiny shower and cozy quarters, we loved it and would welcome another chance to stay there.

Cozy

This worked out well for us and it was handy to be able to walk into town. The living area is very nice and the kitchen was generally well-equipped, though a coffee-maker would have been useful. The two downstairs bedrooms are adequate, but the bunk beds are a tight fit for anyone over 6' tall. Very hot during our stay and some fans for the bedrooms would have been much appreciated as they are not well-ventilated. In all, however, a most pleasant stay.

Alpine Chalet in the heart of Ketchum/Sun Valley

It would be tough to find a more charming 3 bedroom apartment in this perfect location in Sun Valley: it is a minute’s walk to restaurants and shopping and a comfortable walk on the Wood River Trail (or a brief free shuttle) to the River Run lifts. At night you can sit by the fire and see the lights of the groomers on baldy. The owner, Leslie, was so kind and made us feel at home for our holiday stay. The property manager, Regina, is phenomenal and can make anything happen! We stayed with our family of five, including 3 twenty-something’s and found we had ample space and everything we needed. The master suite being upstairs provides excellent privacy. Would stay again in a heartbeat! What others have said about the slightly worn exterior of the building is true. But the condo is amazingly nestled in the trees for a downtown location, and we came to view the spotless modern condos nearby as soulless compared to our cozy alpine chalet!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Knutson

Host profile image
I grew up Los Angeles, California. Having fallen in love with European furnishings and style my husband and I have carefully brought back unique and beautiful pieces for our home in Sun Valley.

Why they chose this property

My family has had a place in Sun Valley since the early 70s. Having grown up with the magic of Sun Valley whether it is for the winter wonderland of Christmas or the breathtaking beauty of summer, owning a place in Sun Valley just seemed like home.

What makes this property unique

We love the location of our condo as it is minutes away from all the outdoor activities that we love including downhill skiing from River Run Plaza or hiking up Baldy. At night we are just steps away from the movies and downtown Ketchum which provides many shopping and dining opportunities. Just a stone's throw away is the picturesque Sun Valley lodge with it's classic ice-skating rink and world class Spa amenities.
