Perfect location for an active vacation

My son and I met in Sun Valley for a cycling/running vacation. The weather and accommodation location were perfect. The townhouse was right on the Adam's Gulch Trail system which we thoroughly enjoyed running and biking on it. Our VRBO was very clean, and we appreciated the fully stocked kitchen for cooking all of our meals. It was also nice having two bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a washer/dryer. Thanks for helping us create great memories.

Excellent!

The property and location were great - just as advertised. Check in and out was done via an office that was on the other side of town so that was the only drawback.

Budget and Pet Friendly Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Given the rising prices in the Sun Valley area, this is a budget and pet friendly rental in a great location. The duplex is located at the base of the Heidelberg trail, a gateway to the Adam’s Gulch area. I would rate the location and value as the top aspects of this rental. We had some issues with the kitchen not being fully stocked (and it’s still not), but the property management company was very responsive in getting our asked for items over within the day! Given that the property is nearing 50 years old, we also experienced some issues with a leaky faucet, which was promptly fixed as well. The place is well worn, but comfortable with newer furniture. The main bedroom has an extremely comfortable queen foam mattress. We arrived to no-Wi-Fi since the property was initially using the modem from next door to provide Wi-Fi to both properties (I’m sure how they got away with this arrangement). This meant that the Wi-Fi only worked when standing in the kitchen. The property management company addressed this promptly and the modem was updated. From then on, the Wi-Fi worked great, although the TV was still not able to access Netflix, etc. Luckily, after the Wi-Fi was fixed, we were able to use our personal Firestick that we brought along and were able to access Netflix, etc. (we were not able to use the TV at all prior to the Wi-Fi being fixed). The only surprise was that I asked for a vacuum (twice) as we were there for an extended stay. We were told that one would be dropped off, but it was not. The place was well stocked with plenty of towels. I appreciated having the washing machine and dryer on site, but plan to bring your own detergent as it’s not provided. All in all, this is a great budget and pet friendly option in a fantastic location. We appreciated being able to bring our furry friend along for our stay!

3 weeks of home comfort

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I have been staying here for 3 summers now, during my annual Ketchum "work-cation". It suits our needs perfectly, as the kids have space outside to play and have their own bathroom, and we have the master with en suite plus laundry. Comfortable and family-friendly, and a quiet neighbhoord with friendly neighbors. Being mere steps from the Wanderer's Way Trail is a huge bonus, which connects to Adams Gulch and Shadyside.

Summer 2024 Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was fabulous and in general the place was wonderful! Not sure how often the linens are checked/cleaned because there were multiple spiders nesting in one of the beds. I totally get that it is the mountains and spiders happen, but just be aware that the rental company doesn't always check the accommodation right before your stay, so it is on you to go through everything as though it has been sitting vacant for a while. Other than that - amazing location and highly recommended!

cute, convenient location to Warm Springs lifts

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very positive experience here and will look to stay here again the next time we return to Ketchum. It was very clean, well maintained, and spacious for a 2 BR condo. The only minor thing was the lock on the front door was a bit loose and difficult to unlock with the key.

Reviewer Comments: This cabin is spacious enough for 4. Two adults and 2 other single individuals, since the second bedroom has 2 single beds. It was spacious for just the 2 of us and our Havanese dog. It is a great location for skiers, etc with easy access to everything Sun Valley has for vacationing!

Very comfortable

We found the unit to be well appointed, particularly the kitchen, and clean and the neighborhood to be quiet and well located for our activities. Our only suggestion for improvement would be that there should be four chairs for the kitchen table in a unit that sleeps 4 people.

If you have infants, this place though, has very thin walls and no one can sleep when they cry..Otherwise we had a good time, very nice amenities, actual fire fireplace! Very clean!
